The '''Unmade''' are a group of nine{{book ref|sa3|1}} ancient and twisted [[spren]]{{book ref|sa3|62}} on [[Roshar]] comprised of [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]].{{wob ref|1672}} They are regarded as minions of Odium,{{book ref|sa3|1}} but not all of them continue to do his bidding.{{book ref|sa4|i|2}}{{book ref|sa4|112}} While they are traditionally depicted as personifications of destruction or forces, some of them are cognizant individuals.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|91}} Each Unmade is endowed with vast and terrible powers,{{epigraph ref|sa3|89}} although the intelligence of the Unmade vary drastically.
Strangely enough, the ''names'' of the different Unmade seem to serve as indicators of their intelligence. [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], the most intelligent of the Unmade, has three parts in her compound name,{{book ref|sa4|interlude|2}} while [[Re-Shephir]], [[Sja-anat]], and [[Yelig-nar]] have two parts in a compound name and have displayed a level of awareness.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa4|interlude|2}}{{book ref|sa3|31}} Furthermore, Unmade without compound names at all, such as [[Nergaoul]] and [[Ashertmarn]], have shown themselves to be mere creatures of instinct.{{epigraph ref|sa3|106}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
== Characteristics ==
=== Chemoarish ===
Little is known of the Unmade '''[[Chemoarish]]'''. By the modern [[Era of Solitude]], she is known as the '''Dustmother''' and often is conflated with the [[Nightwatcher]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|108}} There is a variety of lore associated with her, but all of it is currently unknown. In [[Bavland]], her name is invoked as a curse.{{book ref|sa1|i|3}}
From the length of her name, it seems unlikely that she is among the more intelligent of the Unmade.
=== Dai-Gonarthis ===
|Tanatesach 1173, 28 seconds pre-death. A darkeyed female street juggler. Note similarity to sample 1172-89.{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}}
