The '''Unmade''' are a mysterious group on [[Roshar]]. WhatTheir theyprecise precisely arenature is still unknown, although Taravangian has referred to one of their number as an "ancient, evil spren." 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.

{{theory}}
Other entities speculated to be Unmade include Nergaoul, Moelach, Dai-gonarthis, and Re-Shephir.
 
 
 
 
 
It is likely that there have been several more Unmade referenced that have simply not been named as such. [[Re-Shephir]],{{epigraph ref|sa1|58}} the Midnight Mother, and [[Dai-gonarthis]],{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}} the Black Fisher, seem likely candidates. They have hyphenated names in the same style as Yelig-nar's, along with a title like his. All three of these beings are also described as having to do with "consuming". There is another potential member as well, "the black piper in the night," seen by [[Cenn]] in a death vision.{{book ref|twok|47}} The black piper bit is reminiscent of Re-Shephir and Dai-gonarthis, who were also referenced in death visions.
 
One possibility that has been raised is that the Unmade are the opposites of the [[Herald]]s, servants of [[Odium]] as the Heralds served [[Honor]]. <--! Word of Brandon exists on this matter; Unmade are of similar power level as the Heralds, but there is no 1 to 1 correlation !-->
 
By symmetry with the Surgebinding diagram, the powers of the Voidbinding diagram appear also to be associated with faces, which have been theorized to be the Unmade. This would suggest that the Unmade are connected to the individual voidbinding powers.
