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}}
Yelamaiszin holds a leadership position among twenty allied Sleepless on Roshar. Despite speaking emphatically to its colleagues, it leaves important decisions up to a vote between all twenty loyal swarms.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
== Abilities and Attributes ==
Yelamaiszin is a [[Sleepless]], a hive mind of hordelings also known as a Dysian [[Aimia]]n. As its cognitive functions are spread across multiple hordelings,
It can breed its hordelings to fulfill specific purposes.{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} However, Yelamaiszin is worse than [[Nikli]] at imitating humans, in part because it is older;

Yelamaiszin was the first swarm to come to Roshar
Since its arrival on Roshar, twenty-three additional swarms were created through [[Sleepless#Reproduction|Separation]], for a total of twenty-four swarms active on Roshar by the time of the [[True Desolation]]. It is implied that Yelamaiszin was relatively young when it arrived on Roshar, as the Third swarm that Separated ([[Alalhawithador]]) was almost as old as Yelamaiszin itself.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} Of Yelamaiszin's twenty-three "descendants", nineteen were loyal to it, and four went against its wishes. One of the swarms that defied Yelamaiszin was [[Arclomedarian]], and there were multiple conflicts between them. Yelamaiszin considered Arclo to be truly dangerous.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}{{wob ref|14310}}
At least some Sleepless were allies of the [[Knights Radiant]] during the [[Heraldic Epochs]].{{book ref|sa2.5|18}} Yelamaiszin's allegiance during this time is unclear, but despite its general distrust of humans, it still held Radiants in high esteem during the [[True Desolation]]. It also respected the [[Sighted]].{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
Yelamaiszin was among the Sleepless that worked to protect [[Akinah]] after the [[Scouring of Aimia]]. When the ''[[Wandersail (1174 ship)|Wandersail]]''
