'''Rysn''' is a young woman from [[Thaylenah]] on [[Roshar]]. She is an apprentice merchant. Her ''[[babsk]]'' is [[Vstim]].{{ref|b|twok|i|4}}

Five months into her apprenticeship to Vstim, Rysn went to [[Shinovar]] with her ''babsk'' to trade [[Soulcast]] metal for chickens, cloths and exotic dried meats. She found Shinovar very strange because of its ecology, lack of [[spren]] and the [[Shin]] culture. After setting up an [[Alerter]] fabrial, they met with their contact [[Thresh-son-Esan]]. She was surprised to learn soldiers are the lowliest of men among the Shin while farmers are lavished with attention and respect. Vstim and Thresh started bargaining, each one taking pains to explain how worthless their wares were which Rysn found very uncharacteristic of her ''babsk''. They eventually came to an agreement and Vstim asked Rysn what she learned. She answered that the Shin are a humble people and remarked their haggling. Vstim told Rysn to get a pot of the Shin grass and care for it until she no longer found it odd, saying that would make her a better merchant. She thought the grass was imbecilic.{{ref|b|twok|i|4}}

Rysn was astonished to find out the "islands" that the [[Reshi]] lived on were the backs of [[greatshell]]s called ''[[Tai-na]]'', much to the amusement of her companions. Like in Shinovar, she found the locals to be primitives and were dismissive of them. Once they landed, Vstim told her that she would have to trade with the Reshi because his weakness would ruin the deal and to be bold while dealing with the Reshi for they would appreciate that. While Rysn, along with [[Kylrm]] and [[Nlent]], was making her way to the meeting the Reshi trademaster, she ran across people jumping from the top of the ''Tai'na'' to the sea. An [[Aimian]] named [[Axies the Collector]], who was hanging upside down and tied by his feet to a shell nearby as a punishment for asking the king about the soul of his god, informed her that the Reshi did this as a sign of courage. They continued climbing all the way to the ''Tai-na'''s head to be met by the King, who was a woman to Rysn's surprise, and her guards. A man named [[Talik]] stepped forward and asked Rysn why Vstim was not attending. Rysn informed him she was authorized to handle the trade but Talik told her the deal was off. Rysn continued trying to convince Talik to take the deal, but he would not back down. Rysn, thinking the only way to gain the Reshi's respect was to show her boldness, jumped down from the head of the ''Tai-na'' whose name Talik had told her was ''[[Relu-na]]''. Falling down, for a split second she saw the eye of the ''Relu-na'', then felt a rush of wind and crashed into the sea. She fell unconscious.

When she woke up, Vstim told her ''Relu-na'' had slowed her fall and saved her life. Rysn figured out that Talik was a former apprentice of Vstim, he wasn't as sick as he appeared to Rysn and he had set up the trade with the Reshi as a practice run for Rysn. Vstim told her she had both her legs shattered and he didn't know if she would walk again. He told her, however, that she would most definitely trade again and that the other Reshi islands would line up to trade with them. He told her they had come to ''Relu-na'' to trade for the corpse of a [[larkin]]. Rysn was also gifted with a live larkin by ''Relu-na''.{{ref|b|wor|i|2}}
