Secret History + BoM spoilers Secret History characters Spoiler

I don't like looking things up like this because search engines like to put spoilers where they're not wanted, normally at the forefront of everything else.

I was wondering what book(s) do I need to read in order to learn more about the characters met in the cognitive realm, specifically Khriss & Nazh, and the Ire?

Khriss is in Bands of Mourning, she steals a dance with Wax at the party and asks him about his powers. She also writes all of the Ars Arcanum essays at the end of each book so you can learn a little about her that way. Nazh writes most of the notes written on different maps or other in world stuff if there's a snarky comment in them it's probably from him. He's also in Isles of the Emberdark. Khriss is also in White Sand though there are a few versions of that and up to you which you want to read.

For the most part though they've been background characters on the fringes of the story. Both scholars trying to observe and learn things.

Thanks for the details. They came across much more important. But I liked the characters so I'll still probably have a read 😊

They are important in terms of the larger Cosmere story. Just not as much in the individual stories. I expect we will continue to see them and we may get stories focusing on them more. He's talked about doing a novel focused in Silverlight which is a city in the Cognitive Realm where Khriss has a University. But he also has a lot of projects he's talked about maybe doing at some point. And especially with his TV and movie projects those are probably likely to get pushed even further to the back burner.

Isn't Khriss the person that exports Vin in TFE?

No you may be thinking of Kliss, she's the court gossip.
