{{character \|image=Urv Portrait by Dragontrill.jpg \|profession={{tag+\|ardent}} in the Devotary of the Mind[[category: scholars]] \|residence~~-raw~~=[[Jokasha Monastery]] \|religion=Vorinism \|ethnicity=Shin▼ \|nation=Jah Keved ▲\|ethnicity=~~Shin~~Siln \|world=Roshar \|universe=[[Cosmere]] \|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]] }} ~~}}{{spoilers\|book=sa3}}~~ '''Urv''' is a [[Siln]] [[ardent]] stat [[Jokasha Monastery]] in [[Jah Keved]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} == Appearance and Personality == Urv is young, tall, and gangly~~. As a Shin, he likely has the lighter skin and round eyes of that ethnicity~~. [[Ellista]] describes him as obnoxiously loud, but he has shown the ability to remain quiet when he chooses. He enjoys [[Alethi]] epics and ~~seems~~has read both ''[[An Accountability of Virtue]]'' and its sequel, surprising Ellista. He appears to ~~flirt~~have ~~with~~a mischievous streak, intentionally provoking Ellista regarding the book.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} == Attributes and Abilities == Urv follows the [[Vorin]] faith. He is a well-read, knowledgeable, and competent scholar, although he is not quite as ingenious as Ellista.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} == History == {{image\|Urv by Dragontrill.jpg\|side=left\|width=200px\|}} He read ''[[An Accountability of Virtue]]'' and its sequel. He was one of the ardents working on translating [[Bendthel]]'s collection of the [[Dawnchant]], but made less progress than Ellista. He got stuck working on the [[Covad Fragment]] as he did not realize it wasn't true Dawnchant but a phonetic transcription of another language. He lends Ellista the sequel to ''An Accountability of Virtue'' in exchange for her help translating a section of Dawnchant for one of his patrons.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} After [[Navani Kholin]] released information about the [[Dawnchant]], Urv was one of several ardents at Jokasha Monastery who worked on translating [[Bendthel]]'s collection of Dawnchant works, although he made less progress than Ellista. He had also gotten stuck working on the [[Covad Fragment]], but reviewing Ellista's work helped him realize that not all literature that appeared to be written in Dawnchant had actually originated in that language. Because Dawnchant was the codified written language across Roshar for many centuries, there was a period of time where people continued to use Dawnchant characters to phonetically transcribe other spoken languages, rather than switch to a different writing system.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} He offered to lend Ellista the sequel to ''An Accountability of Virtue'' in exchange for her help translating a section of Dawnchant for a very demanding unnamed patron.{{book ref\|sa3\|i\|2}} The assignment was likely the translation of the [[Eila Stele]] in order to aid with [[Taravangian]]'s plotting.{{book ref\|sa3\|111}} == Notes == <references /> {{complete\|[[User:Big Smooth\|Big Smooth]] ([[User talk:Big Smooth\|talk]]) 18:22, 18 January 2022 (UTC)}} ~~{{complete}}~~ {{Stormlight}}
