The Shattered Plains are located on the border of the Frostlands and Unclaimed Hills, formerly part of the Silver Kingdom of Natanatan.[1][2] They are aptly named, as the terrain of the Plains consists of huge numbers of plateaus of various sizes, surrounded on all sides by deep chasms. It is unknown what caused the landscape to form this way, but during Kaladin's dream he saw the entire area as a symmetrical pattern, radiating outwards from the center as if something massive had struck there.[3]

Topography

The northwest edge is ringed by ten circular craters.[4] Each crater's ridges have been worn away by Highstorms where they connect to the Shattered Plains themselves.[5] It is noted by Dalinar that from above, it is clear that the craters are the remains of large domes.[6]

The edge of the Plains consist of smaller plateaus with chasms ranging generally from 50 to 150 feet in depth. These westernmost plateaus can be bridged easily, and many permanent bridges have been constructed joining them together. Moving eastward, the Plains become much more varied in size and the chasms themselves can become much wider making crossing from one to another much more challenging.[7] The eastern edge of the Shattered Plains are so weathered by storms that they consist mostly of spindly pillars of rock, making them impassable.[8][9]

On the eastern side of the explored portion of the Plains is a particularly large plateau known as "the Tower". The Tower is a favored location for Chasmfiends to pupate.[10]

It is noted that Highstorms are particularly bad on the Shattered Plains, garnering it this area of the world 'The Stormlands'[11], as there is no shelter on top of the plateaus, and the chasms often flood. The Plains are also on the eastern side of Roshar, where the Highstorms are strongest. For these reasons, the Plains are not an optimal place to experience a Highstorm outdoors.

Some accounts describe the Plains as looking as if something enormous had struck the center causing the Plains fracturing to radiate symmetrically in all directions. Claims of lights in the center plateau were the Parshendi live have also been recorded.[3]

The ruins of Stormseat are in the center of the Shattered Plains. The Oathgate is located there on a circular plateau.[12] The Oathgate had been hidden underneath centuries of built up Crem.[13] The city of Stormseat did not encompass the whole of the Shattered Plains, but had satellite cities and outbuildings.[14]

Flora and Fauna

The area around, on, and in the Shattered Plains has a large variety of plants and animals. The most dangerous being the apex predators: Chasmfiends. However, Shallan Davar believes the Alethi have hunted them near to extinction for their enormous Gemhearts.[6]

The climate is moister than it is the west. Plants have a tendency to not pull into their shells all the way.[15] Clouds are less frequent; alternating between sun and Highstorms.[16] Outside the warcamps, Rockbud, Knobweed[15], flowering Branzah[17], Prickletac[17], pink and purpleFingermoss[18], and other grasses are known to grow. Due to the harsh weather, the grasses near the Shattered Plains are typically yellow in color and only grow to 6-10 inches in height.[19]

During Shallan's travels to the Shattered Plains she notices feral Axehounds, small eels living in ponds, and white trees with red leaves.[20] There is also a small, tentacled, animal that lives in pools near the warcamps, called a 'grasper'.[18]

Out on the plateaus themselves, rockbuds, moss, and Shalebark are the most common plants.[5] Shallan notes that the moss and common flowering rockbuds grow in similar patterns.[21]

Within the chasms is a different environment all together. The chasms are more humid and damp than the rest of the Plains, with stagnant pools where Cremling larvae grow.[9] Haspers[22][23], mosses, fungi, and Frillblooms[24][25] all grow on the walls and in crevasses in the chasms. Translucent cremlings have been seen[26], along with larger carrion animals that are sensitive to light.[9]

Inhabitants

Prior to the War of Reckoning, the only known permanent inhabitants of the Shattered Plains were the Parshendi or Listeners. The ten craters in the northwest part of the Plains are currently occupied by various Alethi armies fighting the Parshendi under the Vengeance Pact. The craters were also previously inhabited by the Parshendi.[27] The Plains and the surrounding area are so barren that the warcamps are perhaps the only places where it is acceptable to pile refuse up high and allow the highstorm to carry it away, as there is no danger of the trash being carried into another city.[28]

Parshendi nation

The Parshendi are residing in the ruins of Stormseat, which they call Narak. After the Battle of Narak, the Alethi have claimed the city for themselves. The homes of the Parshendi are now barracks, and a watchtower has been erected on the tower where 'the five' met. [29]

Warcamps

The Alethi have occupied the crater-like areas of the Plains and constructed ten warcamps, a royal palace, and a market. The palace complex includes the royal residence, Gallery of Maps, feasting basin, and a dueling arena.[30]

The warcamps are each a mixture of soulcast buildings, shanties, and tents that are taken down before each Highstorm.[17] Each camp is self sufficient, with their own markets, taverns, brothels[31], and Spanreed information stations to Tashikk.[32] Most of the buildings are soulcast using topaz.[33] The bunkers and barracks are typically long and narrow with a smaller end facing the Highstorms to the east.[34]

The Outer Market was a collection of buildings outside the warcamps, near the king's palace. The buildings here were mostly constructed of stone quarried from near the Plains. It expanded in a sprawling way, without plan or order. It became a place where people from all warcamps mingled and shopped from the Thaylen merchants. The market was largely unregulated but was patrolled and administered by Kholin scribes.[35]

While the warcamps weathered the Everstorm quite well, eight of the ten warcamps were evacuated and abandoned after the Battle of Narak[6], their occupants either moving to Urithiru or disappearing into the Unclaimed Hills.

The princedoms from east to west:

Roion
Sadeas

It is known as one of the least ordered and respectable warcamps, as opposed to the well-maintained and designed Kholin warcamp. Prior to the evacuation to Urithiru, Sadeas controlled the forests north of the warcamps.[15]

Aladar

Dalinar and Renarin Kholin are nearly stranded in Aladar warcamp during a highstorm.[36]

Kholin

The barracks of this warcamp are organized into radials, with meeting areas, mess halls, and at the center of each battalion.[31] These battalions then circle Dalinar's stone bunker complex and the living quarters of other ranking lighteyes and generals.[37] The Kholin warcamp has more bunker-like construction than other warcamps, as Dalinar wanted his soldiers to remember they were at war.[6]

After moving most of the camp to Urithiru, Dalinar left a few platoons and some workers in this warcamp under the leadership and administration of Brightness Jasalai.[6]

Vamah
Ruthar
Thanadal
Hatham
Bethab
Sebarial

It is a very technologically advanced camp for the area. It has running water, although muddy water will run for the first few seconds.[38] Highprince Sebarial's goal is to become the only camp that produces food and utilities and have a monopoly. His camp is dedicated less to the training of military and more to the production of resources. After the evacuation to Urithiru, Sebarial claimed the nearby forests[6] and is transporting lumber across the Plains to Urithiru.[39]

Shallan Davar stays with Highprince Sebarial.[40] She is very impressed by the situation of the camp, as it does not reflect what Jasnah reported.

Politics

Since the relocation from the Shattered Plains warcamps to Urithiru, ownership of the Plains and the Oathgate has become extremely important and strategic to the success and survival of the inhabitants of Urithiru. Urithiru is not self-supporting yet, and resources are required from the warcamps to supply the city. Farming operations have begun in the Unclaimed Hills[41], but due to the climate, rockbuds grow smaller and crops are less productive than in Alethkar.[6] The Fused are harrying caravans traveling to the Oathgate.[39]

The Natans want ownership of the Shattered Plains and the Oathgate.[42] Elhokar proposed that Dalinar be made High King of Urithiru and the Shattered Plains.[13]
