'''Ryshadium''' are a subspecies or breed of horse on [[Roshar]]. They are genetically distinct from other horses, though they are still capable of mating with them.{{wob ref |2691}} TheThey Ryshadiumare likely descended from horses that were brought to Roshar when humans first arrived.{{book ref|sa3|113}} They are often referred to as "the third Shard" in addition to a [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]].{{book ref|sa3|10}}

Ryshadium are larger than other breeds of horse. It is noted that-- Dalinar'samong Ryshadiumothers, [[Gallant]] is two hands taller than an ordinary horsemount.{{book ref|sa1|12}} RyshadiumThey have been seen tocan have multiplevarious coat colors, including black{{book ref|sa1|12}} and white{{book ref|sa1|13}}. Additionally they can have both light or dark eyes, which have rectangular pupils.{{book ref|sa3|10}}{{book ref|sa2|81}} Unlike ordinary horses, Ryshadium have stone hooves and thus do not require shoes.{{book ref|sa3|10}} This is likely an adaptation they have developed for life on Roshar. It is unknown if the hooves are actually stone, or a stone-like material.
 
== Abilities ==
Ryshadium are significantly stronger than other warhorses. They can carry a [[Shardbearer]] in full platePlate, demonstrating their enhanced strength and endurance. They are also faster than other horse breeds.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{book ref|sa1|56}} They are strong enough to withstand a Shardbearer jumping into their saddle without any injury to themselves,{{book ref|sa1|13}} an action that would break the backs of most ordinary horses.{{book ref|sa1|13}}{{book ref|sa3|26}}
 
Ryshadium also have a higher level of sentience than other animals (a benefit of their spren bond), nearing sapience.{{au ref|rosharan}}
 
== Behavior ==
Ryshadium exhibit many behaviors that are unique to the breed. They posses a certain level of sentience.{{au ref|rosharan}} It is unclear the exact degree of sentience they posses, howeveralthough there are multiple times throughout the series when a Ryshadium appears to understand its rider. Such intelligence and understanding can be seen in their relationships with their riders. Humans will often carry on conversations with Ryshadium and the horses will seemingly answer, either through body language or sounds such as snorts.{{book ref|sa1|15}}{{book ref|sa3|10}}{{book ref|sa2|26}}
 
In turn, humans take great care not to upset them. A Ryshadium will not be stabled with regular horses, but rather on its own pasture, large enough to run around in.{{book ref|sa3|10}} On the rare occassions that a Ryshadium needs to carry someone other than their rider, the rider typically has to spend a long time convincing the horse to do so.{{book ref|sa2|51}} This being said, common grooms typically don't know how to care for a Ryshadium, and once back in its pasture, the horse is sometimes left to fend for itself.{{book ref|sa2|8}}
In battle Ryshadium will hold their ground even in circumstances when other horses would flee, either through training or their natural abilities.{{book ref|sa1|13}}
It is indicated that Ryshadium are difficult to train, when Dalinar laments this fact in The Way of Kings.{{book ref|sa1|18}} This is likely due to the fact that they cannot be ridden unless they choose a rider first.{{book ref|sa3|10}}

Ryshadium as a whole are not a domesticated species. They roam in herds across Roshar, though they rarely stray into the West. It is only after one chooses to bond a human that they allow themselves to be taken out of the wild.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
=== Choosing a Rider ===
[[File:Gallant.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|<small>By [[Coppermind:Artists/Bonnie Johnson|Bonnie Johnson]]</small> [[Gallant]], Dalinar's Ryshadium]]
Ryshadium are known for choosing and obeying only a particular rider.{{book ref|sa1|12}} Dalinar describes the experience of having a Ryshadium accept him as a rider as “indescribable”.{{book ref|sa1|15}} It is indicated that one must be “worthy” to be chosen by a Ryshadium, what the measure of worthiness is however remains unclear.{{book ref|sa2|81}}
 
Riders often communicate with their Ryshadium as if the horses have full or partial understanding of what their riders are saying.{{book ref|sa1|15}} Furthermore, they do respond with body language and sounds indicating that this is true.{{book ref|sa1|15}}
While Ryshadium are useful in battle Shardbearers will sometimes fight unmounted so that they do not endanger their Ryshadium in close attacks.{{book ref|sa1|56}}{{book ref|sa1|68}} Ryshadium are loyal to their riders, and will risk their lives to find and aid them. This is demonstrated when Dalinar's Ryshadium Gallant runs to look for him during the [[Battle of the Tower]].{{book ref|sa1|68}}
 
Though Ryshadium choose their rider, they will allow others to ride them as they are needed,; in one instance, Ryshadium were used to carry three wounded men from the battlefield.{{book ref|sa1|68}}
 
'''Known Riders'''
 
== Spren Bond ==
InRyshadium the Rosharan essay by Khriss it is stated that there ishave a symbiotic relationshipbond betweenwith [[spren and Ryshadium]].{{au ref|rosharan}} Some ofWhile the benefits tothe Ryshadium gain are clear (strength, self awareness), it is unclear what the spren receive fromin the Ryshadiumreturn. Ryshadium are – like humans – aone of the few non-native species to Roshar that hashave developed a spren bond.{{wob ref|10499}} The specific type of spren that bonds with them is unclear, although it's been speculated that it could be [[musicspren]], as they have been seen around the Ryshadium even when there is no music playing.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
 
== Theories and speculation ==
It has been theorized that [[musicspren]] bond the Ryshadium, as they have been seen around the Ryshadium even when there is no music playing.{{book ref|sa3|26}}
 
== Trivia ==
* Ryshadium is a word also used in the ''[[Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians (series)|Alcatraz]]'' series; [[Radrian Blackburn]] asks [[Leavenworth Smedry]] how to bypass the Sentinel's Glass of Ryshadium during the torture.{{book ref|a1|16}}
