Lying on the western side of continental Roshar, Shinovar is bordered to the east by the [[Misted Mountains]] and to the west by an unnamed mountain range. Multiple rivers flow through Shinovar from the bodies of water to both the north and the south. The Misted Mountains prevent Shinovar from bordering any other nations.{{map ref|Roshar}} The mountains also protect Shinovar from the worst of the [[highstorm]]s, so Shinovar experiences far more mild highstorms than the rest of Roshar. Regular storms also occur in Shinovar, particularly during the summer, and it can be difficult to tell the two apart based on strength.{{wob ref|5701}} The highstorm still recharges gems with the same amount of [[Stormlight]] despite its lower strength.{{wob ref|11482}} [[Spren]] rarely manifest in Shinovar, though that is unrelated to highstorm strength.{{wob ref|8714}}

Vstim to Rysn about the Shin[1]

Shinovar es una nación situada en el oeste del continente de Roshar.[2] Debido a las montañas que lo separan del resto del continente, Shinovar es diferente tanto ecológica como culturalmente del resto de Roshar. Los nativos de Shinovar son conocidos como los Shin.

The entire landscape had an eerie feel to it, as if it were dead. Nothing moved.

Rysn's opinion of Shinovar[1]

Situada en el lado oeste del continente de Roshar, Shinovar está rodeada por el este por las Montañas Brumosas y por el oeste por una cordillera sin nombre. Múltiples ríos atraviesan Shinovar desde las masas de agua tanto al norte como al sur. Las Montañas Brumosas evitan que Shinovar colinde con cualquier otra nación.[2] Las montañas también protejen Shinovar de la peor parte de las altas tormentas, haciendo que Shinovar sufra altas tormentas mucho más leves que el resto de Roshar. Las tormentas ordinarias también ocurren en Shinovar, especialmente durante el verano, y puede ser difícil diferenciar entre las dos basándose en su fuerza.[3] Aún así, las altas tormentas recargan las gemas con la misma cantidad de Luz tormentosa a pesar de su menor fuerza.[4] Los spren raramente se manifiestan en Shinovar, aunque no tiene relación con la fuerza de la alta tormenta.[5]

Shinovar tiene una ecología vastamente diferente del resto del planeta, ya que la fauna y la flora de allí no tiene la necesidad de adaptación para sobrevivir a las altas tormentas. Mucha de la ecología está basada en las plantas y animales traídos por los refugiados de Ashyn.[6] El terreno en Shinovar está cubierto por una capa de tierra, haciendo que el suelo se sienta esponjoso para los extranjeros. Todo el terreno está cubierto por una capa gruesa de hierba que no reacciona ni se mueve ante movimientos. Los árboles que puntean el paisaje son rectos hacia arriba con hojas que no se retiran dentro del tronco.[1] Las plantas que se sabe que se cosechan en Shinovar incluyen trigo,[7] fresas,[8] y uvas.[9] Los animales que viven en Shinovar incluyen pollos y caballos. Los caballos son tanto domesticados como salvajes.[10]

Los edificios hechos de arcilla y tierra parecen ser comunes en Shinovar, ya que recuerdan a Szeth a su hogar en el Valle de la Verdad. Esto está motivado por la creencia Shin de que la piedra es sagrada y no se puede usar como material para edificar.[10] Las debilitadas altas tormentas seguramente hagan esta manera de edificar viable cuando no lo sería en otras partes de Roshar. Shinovar contiene una Puerta Jurada en algún lugar dentro del país, aunque su localización exacta es desconocida.[11]

History

When humans first arrived on Roshar from Ashyn, the singers gave them the land of Shinovar to settle in. Because it is sheltered from highstorms, humans were able to grow the plants and animals they had brought with them there. Humans, however, decided to expand from the land they were given.[6] During the Silver Kingdoms, Shinovar was known as Shin Kak Nish.[12] Nohadon claims to have been in a war near the Shin border.[13] Shinovar seems to have been less isolationist then, as they had a working Oathgate and Shin people among the Knights Radiant.

After the Last Desolation, the Shin took control of the Honorblades and brought them to Shinovar (save for Taln's Blade, as it was with him on Braize).[7] Because of this history, they consider themselves the only ones who remember the truth about Rosharan history, though what they remember might not be entirely accurate.[14] Nale came back and retrieved his at some point without informing the Shin leaders.[7] Members of the Shin use and train with the Honorblades and surges.[15] During the Era of Solitude, the Shin tried multiple times to conquer all of Roshar, but they did not succeed any time.[16] They used Honorblades, Surges,[17] and cavalry, a fighting technique unfamiliar to the rest of the continent.[18] Shubreth-son-Mashalan was likely a leader during one of the invasions.[19] Approximately seven years before the True Desolation, Szeth announced that the Voidbringers were returning.[20] He was told by the Shin leaders that this was false, made Truthless, and exiled, taking Jezrien's Honorblade with him.[21][22] He was traded to Vstim, a Thaylen merchant who often traded successfully with the Shin, and exiled from Shinovar.[1]

After the Everstorm hit the first time, the Shin sent warnings to other countries, including Tashikk, to prepare them.[23] Dalinar sent word to them through a Thaylen merchant asking them to cooperate with his planned coalition.[24] The Shin were considered particularly important allies to gain because they controlled the westernmost Oathgate on continental Roshar.[25] When they received his message, the Shin declined to join, sending back only a congratulations to Dalinar.[26] While the Shin did not join the coalition, they also did not join Odium and were considered uncommitted by the end of the Battle of Thaylen Field.[27]

Politics

The way Shinovar is governed does not seem to be well known outside of Shinovar, even to other monarchs like Taravangian.[26] They have multiple leaders who Szeth views as corrupt for falsely making him Truthless.[28] Other countries tend to view them as barbarians. When it comes to foreign policy, the Shin tend to be isolationist, declining to join Dalinar's coalition of countries when the Everstorm hit.[26][27] This policy is due to their xenophobic nature.[29] The Shin leaders are involved in making someone Truthless.[30][28] As the Stone Shamans are also involved in monitoring the Truthless, it is possible they are part of the Shin leadership.[10]

Culture

Peoples

The Shin, natives of Shinovar, have round faces and are one of few ethnicities on Roshar whose eyes lack epicanthic folds. These features give them a wide-eyed look that, to outsiders, makes them appear to resemble young children.[31] The Shin also have lighter skin than people in other parts of Roshar and are often described as pale.[32] The average Shin is shorter than the average Alethi.[33] Their distinctive features are the result of them being xenophobic and not intermixing with other races very much.[29] The Herald Ishar looks Shin.[34]

The Shin have a distinct naming scheme, seemingly unique to their culture. A person is identified first by their given name, then as either son or daughter, and finally their parent -- father for men, possibly mother for women.[10][35] As such, a Shin would have a name like Thresh-son-Esan (Thresh, son of Esan) or Ali-daughter-Hasweth (Ali, daughter of Hasweth). In extraordinary circumstances, one can use the name of their grandparent instead, so as to avoid dishonoring their parent. One example of such a case is Szeth-son-son-Vallano, meaning "Szeth, son of the son of Vallano".[10] The same pattern is applied to the names of Heralds in the Shin culture, with Honor being considered their parent -- Nale is known as Nin-son-God.[30]

Class Structure

The Shin have an extremely strict social structure based on profession. High on the social ladder in Shinovar are the farmers, who add to the land by growing plants and are as such considered holy. Each farmer is given the title he who adds and is referred to as such by other Shin. Farmers spend their days either working their fields or exercising their power to oversee negotiations, during which they wear fine, multicolored robes that tie in the front. The robes seem designed for horseback riding, as the robes reach almost to the ground from horseback. Farmers are able to own and trade warriors by way of stones similar to Oathstones.[36] Because of their holy nature, outsiders are not allowed to visit farming villages or farmland.[1]

Traders and merchants are lower in status than farmers, and are required to be supervised by the latter during certain transactions, as when trading with foreigners. They wear colorful capes to signify their status, and they may also ride on horseback.[1]

Here, warriors are the lowliest of men—kind of like slaves.

Vstim to Rysn on Shin culture

Warriors are all viewed extremely poorly in Shin culture. To a Shin, since warriors exist only to destroy, they are far below the farmers and craftsmen who live to create, and even merchants, who trade in other's goods. All warriors are required to obey totally the person who holds their stone, voluntarily subjecting themselves into a state not unlike slavery. While a Shin warrior is able to distinguish his stone, it does not appear to be remarkable in any other way--their subjugation appears to be entirely voluntary. As a rule, Shin warriors cannot be given to outsiders, and the rules regarding the trading of warriors inside Shinovar are unknown. What is known, however, is that any person who picks up a weapon is required to take a stone and live the rest of their life as a warrior. Warriors are recognizable by the simple brown clothing they wear.[1]

Only the Truthless are considered lower than warriors in the Shin culture. At present, there is only one Shin Truthless, and there are not likely to be more in the foreseeable future. Truthless are exiled from Shinovar, and required to live the life of a Shin warrior outside of Shinovar. They are required to have a master, but are not allowed to seek or avoid a particular master, freely sharing information about their servitude to any who asks (assuming that a current master has not given contradictory orders). The precise nature of the offense that makes one Truthless is unknown.

Religion

The Shin follow Stone Shamanism. They believe stone to be sacred and that their soul is given to the stones upon their death, where they continue to exist.[10] They consider walking upon stones to be a heresy, and derogatorily refer to those who do as Stonewalkers. The stones of Urithiru are the one exception to this, as Urithiru is a holy site.[20] Similarly, mining in stone is considered to be a heresy. Because of this, metal is very valuable in Shin territory, with the Shin preferring Soulcast metal above mined metal because of the inherent blasphemy in obtaining the latter. Shin won't trade for fabrials apparently for religious reasons.[1] They called the period of darkest night between the first two moons the "hateful hour" and believed it was the only time their gods didn't keep watch over them.[10] Farm villages and farmland are considered holy, with outsiders not being allowed to visit them.[1]

Economy

Never try to cheat the Shin. Be forthright, tell them the truth, and—if anything—undervalue your goods. They will love you for it. And they’ll pay you for it too.

Vstim's lesson to Rysn[1]

When it comes to trading, and as a result of their humble nature, haggling with the Shin usually involves both parties devaluing their wares to the other, until an agreement can be reached. The Shin value and reward honesty in negotiations. This unique attitude towards trading means it can be difficult for merchants to understand how to get a good deal from them. Vstim is one of the few Thaylen merchants to understand them, so he often gets good deals. Shin are known for raising and trading chickens, an animal unique to this region of Roshar. They also commonly trade horses, cloth, and dried meats.[1] They are famed for their horses, and many varieties of fruit, such as strawberries, can only grow in the soil of Shinovar.[8] In exchange, the Shin want metal, particularly Soulcast metal that does not require mining stones to get.[1]

Language

Tan balo ken tala,

—A presumably Shin greeting Vstim gives Thresh-son-Esan[1]

The Shin have their own language, which is part of the Dawnate family derived long ago from the Dawnchant. It shares grammar with other languages in the Dawnate family, like listener and Horneater, but the vocabulary is vastly different because of how long ago the languages diverged.[37] Unlike languages spoken in the east, the Shin have multiple words for different kinds of chickens.[38] The Shin language does not lend itself to simplifying words as well as the Vorin language family.[9] There is at least one written form of language, the warrior's script.[10]

Notable Shin

Trivia

  • The Shin people are the only Rosharans that would look Caucasian.[39]
  • The Shin people are the only group on Roshar to make wine out of grapes.[40]
