'''Yelamaiszin''' is a [[Sleepless]] living on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
== Appearance and Personality ==
While Yelamaiszin's precise appearance is unknown, it communicates with the other Sleepless in a smooth, calming buzz. It is calm and makes rational arguments in discussion with other Sleepless. It is also very confident in its knowledge and opinions.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
With regards to humans, Yelamaiszin believes that they are dangerous and must be controlled. It believes specifically that [[Dalinar]] will destroy Roshar, alluding to a short piece written by a Dysian that claims "One of them may redeem us. / And one of them will destroy us." These opinions are presented in its characteristic matter-of-fact way.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}

Yelamaiszin is a [[Sleepless]], a hive mind of hordelings, which it can breed to fulfill specific purposes.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} As its cognitive functions are spread across multiple hordelings, this makes it effectively immortal.{{book ref|sa3.5|18}}
Since arriving on Roshar, twenty-three additional swarms have been created, for a total of twenty-four swarms active on Roshar. Of those twenty-three, nineteen are loyal to Yelamaiszin, and four go against his wishes. One of the swarms that defies Yelamaiszin is [[Arclomedarian]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{wob ref|14310}}
When the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]'' sets sail for [[Akinah]], Yelamaiszin is adamant that the crew not be allowed to breach the storm, but instead be driven away. Nikli is sent to accomplish this, and after a few attempts fail, Yelamaiszin says that Nikli must be willing to take more drastic measures to prevent the crew from reaching Akinah. Despite the finality of this decree, Yelamaiszin always leaves important decisions up to a vote between all twenty loyal swarms.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} After Nikli fails and Rysn bargains with him, Yelamaiszin participates in the discussion over the treaty, which is ratified.{{book ref|sa3.5|19}}
