The '''Unmade''' are a mysterious group on [[Roshar]]. They are [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]], and Taravangian has referred to one of their number as an "ancient, evil spren."{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|cpcr9f0|text=AMA, Splinters of Odium|date=2015-03-12}} While they are traditionally depicted as personifications of destruction, they are also shown as individuals.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}} The only confirmed member of this group is [[Yelig-nar]], or Blightwind. He was referenced in one of [[Dalinar]]'s [[Dalinar's visions|vision]]s, when he met with [[Nohadon]]. Yelig-nar had broken into Nohadon's chancery and slaughtered all Nohadon's wordsmen. Hessi's ''[[Mythica]]'' is a book writenwritten about them, a recent book belivingbelieving that the Unmade are still active on Roshar.

The Unmade that inhabited Urithiru when the first visited it. Shallan frightened it away because the Unmade was afraid of Lightweavers. She is also called the Midnight Mother. She has similersimilar powers to the Lightweavers, but her creations aren't as convincing. She can imitate others and is the cause of the double murders. She desires to understand humans but never has been able to.

===Sja-Anatanat===

Also called the Taker of Secrets. She corrupts the spren she touches. And is what that changed the form of the Spren in [[Kholinar]]. She corrupted the Oathgate so that it wouldn't send [[Shallan]] and the others back to Urithiru. It seems to be trying to get Shallan to trust her. She says that she is trying to not kill the ones who traveled to Shadesmar because of her corrupting of the Oathgates. She later tells Shallan that Odium is searching for them and they should watch out. WheterWhether she is sincere or trying to trick them, is undetermined.

[[Shallan]] says ''Mythica'' has little to say about him. He apparently leads people to indulge themselves, likely the cause of the Cult of Moments. The Unmade has bonded with the Queen who claims that she can control him. She was the Unmade surrounding the Oathgate and fled, probably intentionalyintentionally, when Shallan touched it. He is probably the cause of the main voice that kept taking to Shallan when she was close to the Cult of Unmade.

Is said to be able to see the future, and is probably one of the reasons the Vorin's forbid future telling. ''[[Mythica]]'' seems to indicate that the Unmade is the cause of the Death Rattles.

In ''Mythica'' Hessi postulates that she returned to Damnation or was destroyed at Aharietiam.

According to Hessi's ''Mythica'', may not be an Unmade. Is mentioned by name in one of the Death Rattles.

The names of most of the speculated Unmade, besides Yelig-nar, are similar to those of demons/false gods in the Christian tradition. [[Nergaoul]] is similar to Nergal, a Babylonian war god, and [[Moelach]] is similar to Moloch, a Carthaginian god to whom children were supposedly sacrificed. Re-Shephir is similar to Resheph, a CaananiteCanaanite god of darkness and pestilence. Dai-gonarthis is similar to the Phoenician god Dagon, who has historically been interpreted as a god of fish and the sea. Sja-anat is similar to Satan. Yelig-nar could possibly be related to yaldabaoth, a demiurge of a second century christian splinter group, the Gnostics
