Apart

Floor Male Eye color Black Affiliation Nationality Ravka Profession Priest The Apparat is a priest who lives in the Little Palace. He calls himself a spiritual advisor, but the Darkling calls him a fraud and a fanatic. Appearance As described in the books, the Apparat dresses in brown, tattered clothes. He has dark, almost black eyes, a long dark beard, and a mouth full of yellow teeth with black, wolf-like gums. Story Shadow and Bone The Apparat is a strange priest who seems to advise the King. He appears at court when Alina Starkov is asked to demonstrate her powers, and again when Alina is studying in the library. He tells her to come to him whenever she needs help, and then gives her a book called "The History of Saints." He then tells Alina that she will experience more suffering in the future, but she cannot tell whether this is a threat or a warning. When Alina and Mal are captured, they learn that the King has fallen ill, and the Apparat has ruled in his stead. Soon Apart fled with the priests to the White Cathedral, most of this building was underground connected by tangled caves where everything took place, and prayers were read and food was eaten. After the war of the darkling and his army with ordinary people and Grisha, the surviving Grisha fled to the White Cathedral where Apart locked them. There the weapons were buried The Little Palace is the seat of the Second Army of Ravka. It is located near the Grand Palace in Ravka's capital, Os Alta. Following the Darkling's attempted coup and escape, the Little Palace is taken over by the First Army, with armed soldiers guarding its perimeter to prevent the few remaining Grisha from escaping. The palace was partially destroyed during the Darkling's attack on Os Alta. Grisha is a human practitioner of the Lesser Science. Grisha are divided into three orders: Corporal, Ethereal and Substantial, and each order is further divided into special groups, but sometimes among the Grisha there appear carriers of unusually rare abilities, for example, to summon light, like Alina Starkova, or darkness, like the Darkling.

Both are classified as Ethereals and are included in the Ethereal Order. Most Grisha show their powers at a young age. A special test is given to determine if children have special powers. To detect talent, the Grisha who tests uses pain, but the test can be fooled by inflicting other pain on oneself to distract oneself. If the child shows talent, they are sent to training. Many Grisha eventually join the army. Army Grisha wear a uniform, the color of the main coat and the color of the trim of which makes it easy to determine which order the Grisha belongs to. Ravka relies on the Grisha for its security from enemies. The Second Army consists exclusively of Grisha and was briefly led by the Darkling, as well as the Sun Summoner Alina Starkova. Although the Grisha fight in most of Ravka's wars and inflict the greatest damage on their enemies, they are considered witches and corrupt sorcerers and are viewed with suspicion and distrust by humans, including those serving in the First Army. Following the Sun Summoner's rebellion, a tentative alliance was formed between the First and Second Armies, which still despise each other. Both armies served under the official, if somewhat superficial, command of King Alexander III before Nikolai Lantsov inherited the throne of Ravka. Ravka also recruits Grisha from other lands, primarily Fjerda, Novyi Zem, and the Wandering Isle.

Heartrender are Grisha of the Corporal Order. They can use their power to damage a person's internal organs. Their ability ranges from slowing a person's pulse to ripping the air out of their lungs. The target must be within their line of sight. They are feared by other Grisha and are considered the most valuable soldiers. In the Second Army, they wear a red kaftan with black embroidery. Abilities Heartrender manipulates the body on a molecular level, usually with harmful consequences. Lungs: They can take air from a person's lungs and keep them breathing as long as they are under the influence of the Heartbeater. Heart: They can cause heart attacks, slow breathing to the point that someone passes out, or speed up the heartbeat to dangerous speeds. Interfering with healing: They can slow down the healing process rather than speed it up. Affecting Emotions: By stimulating the release of certain chemicals in the body, Heartrenders can affect a person's emotions. When under the influence of parem, a Heartrender's abilities are enhanced to extraordinary levels. Nina Zenik, a talented Heartrender, claimed that only one Heartrender under parem could tip the scales of a war between nations. Mind Control: When under the influence of parem, they are able to force a large group of people to follow their commands. Face Reshaping: If a particular Heartrender has any talent for tailoring, it will be enhanced to Master level. Enhanced Vision: By increasing the range of their sight, parem allows Heartrenders to hit targets at much greater distances than normal. Weaknesses Like all Grisha, they cannot use their abilities when their arm movement is restricted. They require sight for their powers to affect targets. Anyone too far away, hidden from view, or out of sight cannot be affected. The Heartrender's abilities do not seem to have any effect

no effect on animals. Jurda is an orange-flowered plant grown primarily in Novy Zem, whose dried inflorescences are chewed and used as a stimulant throughout the world. It is the main ingredient in the drug jurda parem. Overview Dried yurda flowers are used as a stimulant all over the world. The main producer of yurda is the city of Kofton. Chewing flowers stains your fingers and teeth the color of rust. In Ravka, it is considered a luxury. Zemenians usually spit the rusty juice into special copper spittoons. Trade marks of Yurda include: "Yarkolist", "Ten", "Dok", "Dyuzhiy"[1]. Story Assault and Storm Alina took a temporary job packing dried yurda at a plantation in Kofton while on the run from the Darkling[

Healers are Grisha of the Corporal class who can use their powers to heal others. They can mend bones, heal wounds, etc. However, they cannot heal wounds inflicted by the Nizht'ya. In the Second Army, they wear a red kaftan with gray embroidery. Tailors are Grisha of the Corporal Order. Tailors change the appearance of people. They were once considered rare and special; however, in Ravka, tailoring is now taught to all Corporal students in the Second Army. Their uniform is a red kaftan with blue embroidery. Zhenya Safina was the first tailor to serve the Queen of Ravka before the Ravkan Civil War. Her tasks included improving the condition of the skin, body, and hair, applying makeup, and repairing superficial damage. Her abilities were considered low-grade talent for Grisha. Abilities Tailors can change a person's eyes and hair if they have the right material, either by removing or tattooing them. The prime example of a Tailor is Sturmhond, as he was tailored with red hair, green eyes, and a crooked nose, when in reality he has blond hair, brown eyes, and only a small bump on his nose. Tailors are skilled at changing a person's bone structure and the shape of their face. They can also remove skin imperfections and add color to the face. A skilled Tailor can also change the shape of the body, such as the position of the shoulders. More skilled Tailors can permanently alter someone's face, and possibly permanently alter their features. When Corporal under the influence of jurda parem use their adaptive abilities, the changes made to a person are extremely skilled and virtually irreversible. In the case of Wylan Van Eck, who looked like Kuwei Yul-Bo, the only person who was able to restore his original face was Zhenya Safina.

Squallers are Grisha of the Ethereal order. They can manipulate the wind, raising or lowering air pressure to fill a ship's sails or move objects. In the Second Army they wear blue caftans with silver embroidery.Known Abilities Squallers can manipulate air pressure to hurl objects or people into the air in combat. The Squallers' power was also used by Sturmhond to propel his flying ships in sieges and storms, as well as for destruction and lifting. The Squaller's power can also be used to create acoustic anomalies, such as the one used by Zoya Nazyalenskaya in Ruin and Rising and later by other Squallers who follow Alina Starkova. This allows the sound to travel further and more clearly, or masks the sound altogether. Summoning lightning is a trick that Squallers can also perform. However, they were not allowed to use this ability during the Darkling's Second Army due to its unpredictable nature, as pointed out by both Alina Starkova in the Shadow and Bone trilogy and Sturmhond in the Six of Crows duology. While it is unclear whether Squallers are trained in this technique under the Grisha Triumvirate, Zoya Nazyalenskaya summons and uses lightning in The Crooked Kingdom to restart a boy's heart.

Inferni are Grisha from the order of Ethereals. Inferni can manipulate fire by gathering flammable particles of matter such as methane or hydrogen; he can summon existing matter, but still requires a catalyst (i.e. heat) to start the chain reaction that will produce flame. As such, Inferni usually carries flint with him, which can be used to ignite a spark. In the Second Army they wear a blue kaftan with red embroidery. Tidemakers are Grisha of the Ethereal Order. Their abilities lie in the manipulation of water. In the Second Army they wear blue caftans with pale blue embroidery. Under the influence of jurda parem, torrents can alter the state of matter around them and themselves. They can also draw blood, drying people out, which almost happened to Wylan and Jesper.[1] Durasts are Grisha of the Substantial order. Because Alkhem and Durasts often share their workspace and perform similar work, they are usually not distinguished and are called only Fabricators. The Hardy wear purple caftans with grey embroidery. Abilities They can manipulate glass, steel, wood, plants, stone, or anything solid on a molecular level. This can range from changing the shape, texture, or composition of a solid. They can make flowers bloom, remove pigment from an object, move objects without touching them, and even absorb harmful substances from another person's body into their own. Alkemi are Grisha of the Substantial Order. They specialize in chemicals such as explosive powders and poisons. Since Alchems and Durniks often share their workspace and perform similar work, they are not distinguished and are referred to only as Fabricators. The Alkemi wear purple caftans with red embroidery.

The Substantials, or the Order of Fabricators (Materialki), are Grisha whose power is focused on combining materials such as metal, glass, textiles, and chemicals. This order is made up of Prochniks and Alchems. Although looked down upon by both the Corporal and Ethereals during the Darkling's reign, the Substantials have created many innovations that are used for a variety of purposes in Ravka and internationally. Examples include Substantial cloth, an exceptionally strong and flexible fabric that can withstand bullets; Grisha steel; Substantial glass; blasting powders; lumia, a form of liquid fire; and a number of other inventions. In the Second Army, the Substantials wear purple caftans. They are represented by David Kostik in the Grisha Triumvirate. They also do not undergo combat training.
