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 minions of Odium, doing his bidding.{{book ref|sa3|1}} 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. An Unmade may be captured in a [[polestone]] like other spren, but to do so seems to require both

'''[[Yelig-nar]]''' is also known as '''Blightwind''',{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}} and differs from typical Unmade in a few ways. Instead of having a specific physical appearance, he is capable of joining with people or singers who swallow a gemstone, granting them the ability to make use of all ten [[Surge]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} Those he possesses have red eyes, grow crystals from their bodies, and appear to be wreathed in a black wind.{{book ref|sa3|84}}{{book ref|sa3|120}} It appears that those who join with Yelig-nar must control him if they do not wish to be consumed by him.{{book ref|sa3|118}}

Only one unmade is ever captured on screen, but the process for those not capable of higher thought is similar to that of [[spren|Rosharan Spren]]’s capturing for use in [[fabrial|Fabrials]]{{book ref|sa3|120}}. Nergaoul was captured by Dalinar in Oathbringer. He seems somewhat uniquely capable of this due to his past as a warmonger, and the extent to which he had given into and relied upon the thrill (Common name for the effect of Nergaoul) in his youth. His deep understanding of them allowed him to draw them close enough to capture in the [[King's Drop]]. In [[Shallan Davar#Encounter with Re-shephir|Shallan’s encounter with]] [[Unmade#Re-Shephir|Re-Shephir]] it is noted that she had previously been captured into a perfect [[Polestone|gemstone]] by a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]], indicating that the ability is not unique to the [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]] nor to either of their surges{{book ref|sa3|30}}.
