Unkalaki

Unkalaki
Mundo de origen	Roshar

The Horneaters, or Unkalaki as they refer to themselves, are a race of people on the world of Roshar. They currently have no Shardplate or Shardblades. They are one of several races on Roshar with Listener blood in their ancestry. As a result, they have a higher tendency to be asexual than other races without Listener ancestors.

Culture

A Horneater's occupation is determined at birth. First and second sons make food, third sons are craftsmen, and fourth sons are warriors. It is unknown what more fertile families do with the later children.

Horneaters seem to be a generally peaceful group. At one point, Rock tells Bridge Four about their duelling system, saying that the two men would drink mudbeer and sing until one of them gives up. The point is that by the end of the duel, no one will recall why they were fighting.

Cuisine

The Unkalaki received their common name "Horneaters" due to their ability to eat the hard shells of crustaceans. Rock ascribes this ability to their unusually strong teeth. Unkalaki cuisine utilizes less spices than Alethi cuisine.

“Your food here, it has so many spices that you cannot taste anything else. Might as well be eating stones powdered with pepper!”

—Rock to Kaladin and Teft

Horneater lager has the reputation to melt teeth and cups.

Mythology

• Lunu'anaki - Unkalaki god of travel and mischief.
• The Horneaters have three powerful gods they sought aid from: the Gods of the waters, the Gods of the mountains and the Gods of the trees. This may refer to Roshar's three Shards.
