A gemheart was a large gemstone on Roshar.
It was found in the bodies of Chasmfiends and other large chull-like animals called Greatshells.[1] The bigger the animal, the bigger the stone. Those found in Chasmfiends were worth a small fortune.[2] Dalinar Kholin stated that they were the largest gemhearts he had ever seen.
The discovery of these Chasmfiends containing such valuable gemhearts completely altered the course of the War of Reckoning. Attempting to directly attack the Parshendi base, located far into the Shattered Plains, was incredibly risky and expensive. However when Chasmfiends climbed onto a plateau to pupate, the highprinces and Parshendi alike would extend themselves to attempt to retrieve its now-vulnerable gemheart. The highprinces agreed that these periodic clashes suitably upheld the Vengeance Pact, and the War of Reckoning effectively devolved into little more than a decade long competition.
During the War of Reckoning, highprince Roion was the one who captured the least gemhearts.
The hunting for chasmfiends to gain gemhearts will harm Roshar's ecology in the long view.[3]
