Ghostbloods
The Ghostbloods are a secretive organization operating across Roshar in Brandon Sanderson's The Stormlight Archive. Functioning as a shadowy network with ambitions reaching beyond ordinary politics, they pursue hidden agendas tied to the deeper secrets of Roshar and the Cosmere.
Nature
The Ghostbloods are a clandestine society whose membership and goals are concealed even from many of their own agents. Marked by their use of secret signs and a code of silence, they recruit through tests of loyalty and dispense severe punishment for betrayal. Their interests extend to the spren, the bonds of the Knights Radiant, and the larger forces at work in the world, suggesting a knowledge of Cosmere matters far beyond that of typical Rosharans.
Activities
Throughout The Stormlight Archive, the Ghostbloods maneuver behind the scenes, gathering forbidden knowledge, acquiring artifacts, and inserting agents into positions of influence. Several major characters become entangled with the organization, drawn in by its access to secrets or its resources, while remaining uncertain of its true aims. The group's leadership and its connection to figures with worldhopping, Cosmere-spanning interests place it among the most enigmatic factions on Roshar.
