“Este lugar se llama, literalmente, «Innominado». ”
Nameless es un puesto remoto costero independiente en Shadesmar.[2] [3][1]
Geografía
“Una oscura franja de obsidiana asomaba del mar por delante, con tenues luces titilando encima. No eran almas, sino auténticas velas en las ventanas de pequeñas estructuras. ”
—A view of Nameless from the ocean[2]
Este pueblo se sitúa en la parte sur del Mar de las Almas en Shadesmar. Se encuentra en la orilla de las Profundidades Radiantes y cerca de la península que lleva a Luz Perdurable.[1]
Innominado se encuentra en tierras libres que no pertenecen ni están controladas por los Fusionados o los honorspren.[2] El pueblo está situado en un campo estéril de obsidiana donde la vegetación es escasa. Pequeños grupos de plantas cristalinas pueden observarse de vez en cuando aquí y allá.[3]
Localización
El asentamiento es bastante pequeño y sus cuatro calles pueden recorrerse en menos de media hora. Es una parada recurrida por viajeros que buscan comprar o vender productos. Existe un área a las afueras donde las caravanas pueden instalarse mientras permanecen en el pueblo, y también un pequeño puerto, que consiste en un simple muelle de piedra y lo utilizan aquellos que viajan en barco. La mayoría, si no todos, de los habitantes del lugar son mercaderes, que se han asentado temporal o permanentemente aquí debido al continuo comercio que tiene lugar en el pueblo.[2]
Los edificios pequeños de Innominado están hechos de materiales manifestados y apenas tienen un estilo común. Hay una tendencia general hacia influencias azishianas, sin embargo, los spren se ven muy limitados por los materiales de construcción que pueden crear u obtener por medio de comerciantes, por lo que los edificios son mosaicos de piedras de colores diferentes y otros materiales. Los vecinos emplean velas para iluminar sus hogares, probablemente siendo estas objetos manifestados.[2]
Los spren del pueblo visten mezclando diferentes estilos de moda del Reino Físico que es probable que no se vieran en ninguna de las naciones humanas de Roshar.[2]
Mercado
“¿Mercaderes de otro mundo, quizá? Eh, a veces pasa, y cada vez más en estos tiempos. La gente viene en caravanas con intención de negociar. ”
A range of items are available for purchase at the marketplace including, books, weapons, and food and water.[2]
The market stalls are predominantly run by cultivationspren, however, highspren and inkspren merchants have also set up stalls. Many of the merchants are able to speak Alethi and/or Azish. At least some merchants cater, at least in part, to humans and have travel necessities, such as food and water, available for purchase. Permanent market stalls are open sided and set against the front side of the stall owners home.[2]
Occupants
The town is made up of a large variety of sapient spren, including both Radiant and non-Radiant spren. Many of the spren do not permanently live in the town and are instead passing through as caravaneers or sailors.[2]
Although the town appears to be predominantly run by spren, it is not uncommon to find humans passing through with the caravans. As such, they do not draw as much attention or stick out as an oddity as they would in other trade cities such as Celebrant,[4] and are largely treated like any other trader. Humans may still experience hostility from individual spren.[2]
Notum is a known figure among the townspeople, although he likely does not stay in the town for long when his patrol passes by. He is tolerated, but not well liked by the townspeople and they will go out of their way to avoid him if possible.[3]
Historia
“We have landed and the others went out to explore a small dockside town here on the coast. We have several weeks’ further travel via caravan, hopefully as uneventful as these, before reaching the fortress.”
At some point after his demotion as captain, Notum began to visit Nameless as part of his patrol through the area.[3]
In 1175, Adolin and the Urithiru delegation stopped in Nameless on their way to Lasting Integrity. Ua'pam and Zu arranged a campsite for the group to set up in until they were ready to continue their journey.[2]
The group explored the town, trading their remaining Stormlight for the supplies they would need, both for their journey to Lasting Integrity, and also their return to Urithiru. While exploring the marketplace, Adolin and Maya encountered Testament and learned of her death at the hands of an unknown Radiant ten years prior.[2]
After their encounter, Adolin and Godeke attempted to approach the Tukari caravaneers who had set up camp outside of the town. The group were antagonistic and turned the pair away. Returning to Unativi's barge, Adolin found Notum talking with the boat’s captain. Adolin explained his plan to Notum of how he planned to approach the honorspren, however, Notum shut down his idea, strongly believing that the honorspren would never consider his request.[3]
Adolin and his cohort left Nameless shortly after Notum, with the Tukari caravaneers following them out of the town.[5]
