'''Vstim'''
He employed [[Rysn]] as his apprentice.
== History ==
=== Shinovar ===
Vstim traveled to [[Shinovar]] to trade with [[Thresh|Thresh-son-Esan]]. He brought Soulcast metal and got chicken in exchange. Nearly seven years ago on another trade he got [[Szeth]] and every time he comes to Shinovar he asks Thresh to trade him another [[Shin]] soldier, what was denied by Thresh because Szeth had been an exception.{{book ref|wok|i|4}}
=== Reshi Isles ===
A year later Vstim takes his apprentice [[Rysn]] to the [[Reshi Isles]]. Here he feigns sickness in order to allow her to take charge of the trade for herself. [[Rysn]] meets [[Talik]] and in attempting to prove her boldness to the natives ends up falling off the top of the [[Tai-na]] and into the water below, shattering her legs. After this Vstim reappears and reveals he had never been ill, but feigned sickness in order to give her a chance to lead as trademaster and see how she does.{{book ref|sa2|I|3}} It is also revealed by the king that Vstim had gained the islanders' respect a long time ago by hunting down a [[coracot]].{{book ref|sa2|I|3}}
=== Thaylen City ===
When Rysn is working in the [[Thaylen Gemstone Reserve]], a job that Vstim got for her, he unexpectedly visits Rysn. He tells her that Queen Fen offered him a job as minister of trade, "the highest civilian appointment in the kingdom". Then he hands Rysn a box, containing a wound-up cord of white rope and a deed of ownership to the [[Wandersail (1174 ship)]] so Rysn can still be a merchant even though she can't walk.{{book ref|sa3|I|13}}
Following that Rysn gives Vstim a tour through the vault and shows him the [[King's Drop]], but then they get attacked by one of the guards, a disguised [[fused]]. The attacker slashes at Vstim and locks him in a smaller vault.{{book ref|sa3|I|13}}
A bit later [[Dalinar]] finds Rysn and the wounded Vstim amid the wreckage of the collapsed Thaylen Gemstone Reserve building. He asks Rysn what happened and Vstim is attended to.{{book ref|sa3|116}}
