The Greater Roshar system is composed of three tellurian (Earth-like in composition) planets and ten gas giants, divided by the asteroid belt. In order from the sun, the tellurian planets are:
; [[Ashyn]]: This is where [[The Silence Divine]] is set. While there are humans inhabiting this planet, a global cataclysm at some point in the past has forced most of its inhabitants to flee to Roshar, while the remainder lives in floating cities in the sky. The cataclysm was likely caused by overuse of [[Surge]]s by Ashynites, and has left the surface highly volcanically active. There is a known manifestation of Investiture on Ashyn, based around Surge-granting diseases, but no known Shard.{{wob ref|6646}}
; [[Roshar]]: The second planet is the eponymous Shardworld of Greater Roshar, and the primary setting of the [[Stormlight Archive]]. The [[Shard]]s of [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]] can be found here. Roshar features a single supercontinent, also called Roshar, on which its inhabitants live. Three moons, [[Roshar#Planetary System|Salas, Nomon, and Mishim]], orbit the planet. The majority of Roshar's sentient lifeforms lives on Roshar.
Over the past 4.5 thousand years, the Rosharan system has enjoyed a period of relative stability, although this ended with the start of the [[True Desolation]].
== Mythology ==
Several of Rosharan system's celestial bodies have legends associated with them.
=== The planets ===
Though not known by that name to humans, Ashyn is the most likely location for the [[Tranquiline Halls]], the mythological homeworld of humanity in the [[Vorinism | Vorin]] creation myth. Rosharans believe that after death, the will fight to reclaim them from the [[Voidbringers]], and that this is where the Heralds departed following the [[Aharietiam]]. Braize, on the other hand, is a known name for [[Damnation]], the place where, in Rosharan myths and legends, Voidbringers live. In Vorin cosmology, Damnation is the afterlife for particularly wicked souls.{{book ref|sa1|3}}
=== The moons ===
Many Rosharan cultures personify the three moons as semi-divine beings. In [[Shinovar]], they are known as the Three Sisters, with Salas being the First Sister, Nomon the Second Sister, and Mishim the Third Sister. In [[Natanatan]], Nomon is considered to be male.
A particular myth from Natanatan considers the latter two moons and the local queen, [[Tsa]]. In the story, Mishim (characterized as young and impulsive) wishes to experience human pleasures, and attempts to persuade Tsa to swap places with her. Tsa eventually relents, agreeing to take Mishim's place for one night. However, Mishim fails to return before dawn, and fears that Tsa will tell her older siblings about the ruse. The following night, she attempts to go back, only to find out that Tsa enjoys her time in the night sky too much to switch back. While Mishim manages to convince Tsa to return, nine months later the queen gives birth to a blue-skinned child. Mishim realizes that she's been conned, and Tsa wanted to visit the night sky all along, as she wished to lay with Nomon.{{book ref|sa3|67}}
The legend serves as an explanation for the Natan people's unusual skin tone.
