She pleaded her case to the island's god directly, in the hopes of showing her boldness, and in spite of the concerned commands of the king. She hung there for a time, speaking to the the god, only for Relu-na's motions to catch the rope and snap it in two, leaving Rysn to fall. Falling down, for a split second she saw the eye of Relu-na, then felt a rush of wind and crashed into the sea. She fell unconscious. |

Attributes and Abilities
Trading
Rysn was trained as a merchant by her babsk Vstim.[1] She is a good observer of character[1] and determined when she bargains.[2] Her biggest fault, as defined by Vstim, is her prejudice against other nations and cultures.[1]
History
Shinovar
“I've heard of the grass. But it's just so odd. ”
—Rysn to Vstim[1]
Five months into her apprenticeship, Rysn traveled with her babsk to Shinovar. There, they offered Soulcast metal, which the Shin valued highly because no stone was broken in the process of acquiring it, in exchange for chickens, cloths, and exotic dried meats. Rysn thought Shinovar very strange because of its different plant life, lack of spren and strange culture. She called the Shin grass imbecilic, and couldn't understand how it survived Highstorms. Her babsk made her take a pot of it and told her to care for it until she no longer found it odd, claiming that it would make her a better trader. After setting up an Alerter fabrial, they met with their contact Thresh-son-Esan. Rysn was surprised to learn that soldiers were considered the lowliest of men among the Shin, while farmers were the most respectable, akin to craftsmen or tradesmen in her own culture. Rysn watched as Vstim and Thresh bargained, each one taking pains to explain how worthless their wares were. Rysn, puzzled, found this very uncharacteristic of her babsk. After Vstim and Thresh came to an agreement, Vstim asked Rysn what she learned. Rysn realized that the Shin are a humble people, and in there culture, it was viewed as more honest -- and therefore more moral -- to devalue your products than to overstate their worth.((book ref|sa1|i|4}}
Despite Rysn's initial concerns, the goods they bought from the Shin proved to be very profitable. Rysn ended up naming her pot of grass Tyvnk -- meaning "sullen" in Thaylen -- because, rather than being sullen at being so overtly wrong while Vstim was right, she let her grass be so.[2]
Reshi Isles
Rysn: " You will take the trade. You will trade with me. "
Talik: " Oh? And what makes you say this? "
Rysn: " Because Relu-na approves of boldness. "
Rysn and Vstim's next adventure was in the Reshi Sea. They made their way 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. Rysn was astonished to learn that the "islands" the Reshi lived on were really the backs of gartantuous greatshells called Tai-na. She was Like in Shinovar, she found the locals to be primitives and were dismissive of them. Once they landed, Vstim told her that she would have to trade with the Reshi because his weakness would ruin the deal and to be bold while dealing with the Reshi for they would appreciate that. While Rysn, along with Kylrm and Nlent, was making her way to the meeting the Reshi trademaster, she ran across people jumping from the top of the Tai'na to the sea. An Aimian named Axies the Collector, who was hanging upside down and tied by his feet to a shell nearby as a punishment for asking the king about the soul of his god, informed her that the Reshi did this as a sign of courage. They continued climbing all the way to the Tai-na's head to be met by the King, who was a woman to Rysn's surprise, and her guards. A man named Talik stepped forward and asked Rysn why Vstim was not attending. Rysn informed him she was authorized to handle the trade but Talik told her the deal was off. Rysn continued trying to convince Talik to take the deal, and managed to impress the king enough to speak with her directly. However, the king eventually informed her that she would not complete the trade with Rysn, and would wait or Vstim to recover from his illness. Rysn, believing that Vstim's illness was fatal, and thinking the only way to gain the Reshi's respect enough to complete the trade that day was to show her boldness, climbed down the feeding rope that had been lowered to the Tai-na whose name Talik had told her was Relu-na. She pleaded her case to the island's god directly, in the hopes of showing her boldness, and in spite of the concerned commands of the king. She hung there for a time, speaking to the the god, only for Relu-na's motions to catch the rope and snap it in two, leaving Rysn to fall. Falling down, for a split second she saw the eye of Relu-na, then felt a rush of wind and crashed into the sea. She fell unconscious.
“I needed to do something. To prove courage. I thought... I needed to be bold... ”
—Rysn to Vstim[2]
When she woke up, Vstim told her Relu-na had slowed her fall and saved her life. Rysn figured out that Talik was a former apprentice of Vstim, he wasn't as sick as he appeared to Rysn and he had set up the trade with the Reshi as a practice run for Rysn. Vstim told her she had both her legs shattered and he didn't know if she would walk again. He told her, however, that she would most definitely trade again and that the other Reshi islands would line up to trade with them. He told her they had come to the island to trade for the corpse of a larkin. Rysn was also gifted with a live larkin by Relu-na.[2]
Thaylen Gemstone Reserve
“This is my consequence—payment for a contract I entered into willingly the moment I climbed down the side of that greatshell.”
—Rysn to Vstim[3]
Rysn was preparing for an important auditor to visit the Thaylen Gemstone Reserves, where she now works after losing her legs in the Reshi Isles. It’s revealed that Vstim got her the job after she graduated from his tutelage. She felt embarrassed by the lack of her legs, and was of the opinion that her career and freedom were over, and she’d had to take down most of the relics of her travels from her office because they reminded her too much of what she’d lost. However, she still kept the Shin grass and looked after Chiri-Chiri the Larkin, which was now slightly longer than Rysn’s palm.
Vstim was brought into her office by a guard, where he offers her the captain’s cord to an expensive ship Wandersail, and reveals that he’s the auditor. Rysn reveals that she approached a radiant to heal her legs, but she’d waited too long and thought of the legs as her own.
After she’d done her part in opening the Gemstone vault, she’s carried by guards along to Vault Thirteen - which held the King’s Drop - when the guard holding her chair was killed by a queen’s guard. Rysn pulled herself along the floor, tying the King’s Drop to her leg using the captain’s cord after the traitor dropped it fighting with other guards, and made her way towards the door, grabbing the crossbow of a fallen guard as she did. She realised she can’t cock it as she can’t stand, so she tied the captains cord to the crossbow and her chair in a makeshift pulley. She watched as Chiri-Chiri fed on the Voidlight the traitor was holding, then shot the Singer through the chin.[3] Rysn was later found lying next to Vstim's injured body by Dalinar, after the Gemstone Reserve had come under further attack. She informed Dalinar that the enemy had stolen the King's Drop.[4]
Trivia
- The writing process of one of Rysn's interludes in Words of Radiance were recorded and released as a series of YouTube videos.[5]
- Brandon wants to have an interlude with Rysn every book, though each book can only have so many interludes and there may not always be enough slots for her.[6] If written, the novella Wandersail would follow her.[7]
