== Known wards ==
* [[Shallan Davar]] is a ward to [[Jasnah Kholin]]. Numerous women attempted to become Jasnah's ward, with twelve applying in year {{Rosharan date|1173}} alone.{{book ref|sa1|5}} Shallan was the only one to convince Jasnah to accept her.{{book ref|sa1|8}} The wardship continues even after Shallan becomes a [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweaver]].{{book ref|sa3|44}}
* Jasnah had one other ward, long before Shallan. However, this went poorly, and the two eventually parted ways.{{wob ref|5328}}
* [[Teshav Khal]] has numerous wards, including two with senior status.{{book ref|sa3|12}} In the course of her duties, she's always accompanied by at least one: there is one when she's meeting with [[Dalinar]] in the warcamps;{{book ref|sa1|18}} [[Teshav's ward|one]] at the [[Battle of Narak]];{{book ref|sa2|81}} two when speaking with [[Yanagawn]] via [[spanreed]];{{book ref|sa3|12}}; one when [[Tezim]] replies to Dalinar's missive;{{book ref|sa3|24}} and one when [[Azimir]] threatens to destroy their [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa3|28}} As the wards are never named, it's unclear how many are there, and which of the above are the same people. [[Janala Lustow]] might be one of them.{{book ref|sa3|44}}

== Trivia ==
* In ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', the early version of ''[[Stormlight Archive]]'', "Jasnah Prime" has a ward named Shinri.{{wob ref|11457}} Shinri eventually evolved into [[Shallan]], though the differences are vast enough that Brandon considers them to be separate characters.{{wob ref|5568}} The mention of Jasnah having had another ward a long time ago might be an allusion to Shinri.
