Difference between revisions of "Riina"

Riina is an Elantrian and Awakener. Riina is also capable of using [[AonDor]] in order to grant '''curses''' to others.{{book ref|tress|5}}{{book ref|tress|13}} How exactly these curses are formed is unknown however the person given the curse is aware as to what the stipulations of the curse are.{{book ref|tress|24}} When placed upon someone a requirement is made to break the curse, other than meeting this requirement there is no way to break the curse, not even Riina herself can achieve this. The curse itself however can be altered by other elantrians.{{book ref|tress|epilogue}} An aspect of the curse is always consistent which is that the cursed individual can not discuss the curse with others, any attempt to do so leads to them stuttering.{{book ref|tress|24}} The curses are flawed however in that since they can not be changed they can be manipulated if one finds a way to do so that Riina failed to prevent,{{book ref|tress|29}} one way to do so is by identifying what an individual can not talk about. This indirectly reveals aspects of their curse.{{cite}}

 

 

Other beings in the Cosmere also fear Riina, one of which is Xisis who considers imprisoning people to be a mercy when the alternative is for them to face the sorceress. He himself fears to confront her himself.{{book ref|tress|52}}
