'''Yelig-nar''', also known as '''Blightwind,''' is one of the [[Unmade]],{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}} an ancient and terrible [[spren]] of [[Odium]].{{book ref|sa3|62}} Unlike many of the Unmade, Yelig-nar does not appear to have a physical form, seemingly reliant on a bonding with a human{{book ref|sa3|118}} or [[singer]], granting his host a variety of abilities.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} Most recently, Yelig-nar joined with [[Meridas Amaram]] to fight in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]].{{book ref|sa3|118}} Exactly what level of intelligence Yelig-nar himself has is uncertain, as the people he bonds with appear to remain fully in control of themselves.{{book ref|sa3|120}}
== History ==▼
Yelig-nar's origin is unknown. It is uncertain when he came into being. Yelig-nar was involved in the past [[Desolation]]s;{{book ref|sa3|77}} he once broke into [[Nohadon]]'s chancery and killed all of Nohadon's scribes.{{book ref|sa1|60}} Following [[Aharietiam]], Yelig-nar seems to have remained on Roshar, although any actions he may have taken are unknown. Yelig-nar was mentioned in a work of writing by [[Traxil]] that was often cited,{{epigraph ref|sa3|93}} but some, including Jasnah Kholin, doubted its authenticity.{{epigraph ref|sa1|45}}▼

Following the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], Yelig-nar became active again. [[Alethi]] Queen [[Aesudan Kholin]], inspired by her father-in-law [[Gavilar]], began an investigation into the Unmade.{{book ref|sa3|84}} She successfully managed to bond Yelig-nar, beginning her transformation during the [[Siege of Kholinar]] during [[Kholinar Wall Guard]]'s attack on the palace. She and her [[Kholinar Palace#Queen's Guard|Queen's Guard]] followed Kaladin and Elhokar down into the eastern gallery of the palace, but she did not pursue them after [[Elhokar]]'s death. However, [[Aesudan]] was not strong enough to control Yelig-nar and sometime afterward the power consumed her.{{book ref|sa3|118}}▼
During the Battle of Thaylen Field, Highlord Meridas Amaram swallowed an amethyst and bonded with Yelig-nar{{book ref|sa3|120}} in fulfillment of the promised power Odium had offered him.{{book ref|sa3|118}} He and a number of the [[Fused]] fought [[Kaladin]] as Amaram transformed due to the bond, growing amethyst crystals from his body.{{book ref|sa3|120}} Kaladin successfully managed to crack the gemstone that had replaced Amaram's heart, heavily injuring him and knocking him out of the battle for a time. Later as [[Nergaoul]] was captured, Amaram confronted a heavily wounded Kaladin who had exhausted his Stormlight. Amaram nearly killed Kaladin with a [[Shardblade]]. However, [[Rock]] arrived in time to shoot Amaram in the head and chest with arrows from a [[grandbow]], shattering Amaram's central amethyst, which killed Amaram and separated Yelig-nar from his host.▼
== Appearance and Abilities ==
A bond with Yelig-nar grants a person the ability to make use of all ten [[Surge]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa3|95}} It is uncertain where the power source for these Surges comes from, but it is possible that Yelig-nar makes use of [[Voidlight]]. It also seems possible that Yelig-nar grants preternatural skills in combat, as Amaram fights seemingly-impossibly gracefully with two Shardblades,{{book ref|sa3|120}} but this remains unconfirmed. According to mythology, Yelig-nar supposedly consumes souls, but it is unknown what this indicates.{{epigraph ref|sa3|96}} It is possible that it simply refers to the people he bonds with, but it is uncertain if lasting damage is done to their soul in any way.
