|profession=Apprentice Merchant

|books=[[The Stormlight Archive]]

'''Rysn''' is a young woman from [[Thaylenah]] on [[Roshar]]. She is an apprentice merchant. Her ''[[babsk]]'' is [[Vstim]].

 

Five months into her apprenticeship to Vstim, Rysn went to [[Shinovar]] with her ''babsk'' to trade [[Soulcast]] metal for chickens, cloths and exotic dried meats. She found Shinovar very strange because of its ecology, lack of [[spren]] and the [[Shin]] culture. After setting up an [[Alerter]] fabrial, they met with their contact [[Thresh-son-Esan]]. She was surprised to learn soldiers are the lowliest of men among the Shin while farmers are lavished with attention and respect. Vstim and Thresh started bargaining, each one taking pains to explain how worthless their wares were which Rysn found very uncharacteristic of her ''babsk''. They eventually came to an agreement and Vstim asked Rysn what she learned. She answered that the Shin are a humble people and remarked their haggling. Vstim told Rysn to get a pot of the Shin grass and care for it until she no longer found it odd, saying that would make her a better merchant. She thought the grass was imbecilic.{{ref|b|twok|i|4}}

 

Despite what Rysn thought, the goods they bought from the Shin proved to be very profitable. This caused Rysn to name her pot of grass ''Tyvnk'', meaning "sullen", because she refused to be sullen at being so overtly wrong while Vstim was right so she let her grass be so. They eventually made their way to the [[Reshi Sea]] with a caravan of sixteen longboats laden with people and goods purchased cheaply in lands rimming the [[Purelake]], guided by a Purelaker named [[Gu]]. Rysn acted as the [[trademaster]] because of Vstim's sickness.{{ref|b|wor|i|2}}
