Roshone is a lighteyes in Alethkar on Roshar.
He is sent from Kholinar to be the new citylord of the town Hearthstone after the former citylord, Wistiow, died.[1] He sent Hearthstone by Dalinar Kholin, after Roshone convinced his friend, then-crown prince Elhokar Kholin, to convict two elderly darkeyed silversmiths, his business rivals and Moash's grandparents, on false charges, where they died in prison awaiting trial. Dalinar initially wanted to punish Roshone much more harshly for effectively murdering two innocent citizens, but political pressures forced him to instead send Roshone "where he couldn't do any more harm". From the very beginning he suspects that Lirin stole from citylord Wistiow, and so treats Lirin and his family badly. Though there is a debate between Roshone and Lirin, it doesn't bring him a satisfying result.[2]
Eventually Roshone and his son Rillir go on a whitespine hunt where both of them get badly injured. Lirin, Hearthstone's surgeon, does save Roshone's life but can't save Rillir.[3]
When Brightlord Amaram, a distant cousin of Roshone, comes through the town to recruit, Roshone takes his revenge by deciding that Tien has to join the army.[4] At this event, it is obvious that the daughter of former citylord Wistiow, Laral, who was supposed to marry Rillir, would now marry Roshone.
