{{quote|The Unmade are a deviation, a flair, a conundrum that may not be worth your time. You cannot help but think of them. They are fascinating. Many are mindless. Like the spren of human emotions, only much more nasty. I do believe a few can think, however.|From the Diagram, Book of the 2nd Desk Drawer: paragraph 14{{epigraph ref|sa2|81}}}}
The '''Unmade''' are a mysterious group on [[Roshar]]. They are [[Splinter]]s of [[Odium]], and Taravangian has referred to one of their number as an "ancient, evil spren."{{reddit ref|books|2ytg2h|cpcr9f0|text=AMA, Splinters of Odium|date=2015-03-12}} While they are traditionally depicted as personifications of destruction, they are also shown as individuals.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}} The only confirmed member of this group is [[Yelig-nar]], or Blightwind. He was referenced in one of [[Dalinar]]'s [[Dalinar's visions|vision]]s, when he met with [[Nohadon]]. Yelig-nar had broken into Nohadon's chancery and slaughtered all Nohadon's wordsmen.
== Speculation ==
{{theory}}
Other entities speculated to be Unmade include [[Nergaoul]], [[Moelach]], [[Dai-gonarthis]], and [[Re-Shephir]].
It is likely that there have been several more Unmade referenced that have simply not been named as such. [[Re-Shephir]],{{epigraph ref|sa1|58}} the Midnight Mother, and [[Dai-gonarthis]],{{epigraph ref|sa1|67}} the Black Fisher, seem likely candidates. They have hyphenated names in the same style as Yelig-nar's, along with a title like his. All three of these beings are also described as having to do with "consuming". There is another potential member as well, "the black piper in the night," seen by [[Cenn]] in a death vision.{{book ref|twok|47}} The black piper bit is reminiscent of Re-Shephir and Dai-gonarthis, who were also referenced in death visions. Sja-anat {{book ref|sa2|4}} is another possible unmade.
By symmetry with the Surgebinding diagram, the powers of the Voidbinding diagram appear also to be associated with faces, which have been theorized to be the Unmade. This would suggest that the Unmade are connected to the individual voidbinding powers.
The names of the Unmade are similar to those of demons/false gods in the Judeo-Christian tradition. [[Nergaoul]] is similar to Nergal, a Babylonian war god, and [[Moelach]] is similar to Moloch, a Carthaginian god to whom children were supposedly sacrificed. It has been speculated that there is some connection between the names of the Unmade and their powers. Nergaoul causes the [[Thrill]], and is similar to a war god. Moelach prompts [[Taravangian]] to kill the weak, and is similar to Moloch, to whom children were sacrificed.
