“ Yelig-nar, called Blightwind, was one that could speak like a man, though often his voice was accompanied by the wails of those he consumed. ”
Yelig-nar is an Unmade on Roshar, and is sometimes referred to as Blightwind.[1] He could speak like a human, but his voice was joined with the wails of those he killed.
Once, during the Heraldic Epochs, he broke into Nohadon's chancery and killed all of Nohadon's scribes.[2]
Instead of having a specific physical appearance, Yelig-nar is capable of joining with people or singers who swallow a gemstone, granting them the ability to make use of all ten Surges.[3] Those he possess have red eyes, grow crystals from their body, and appear to be wreathed in a black wind.[4][5] It appears that the people who join with Yelig-nar must control him if they do not wish to be consumed by him.[6]
During the events of Oathbringer, Yelig-nar is revealed to have taken control of Aesudan Kholin[4]. He later finds a new vessel in Amaram during the battle of Thaylen City.
