Description
La Cicatriz es una región de estrellas[4] que resulta inusualmente brillante.[5][3] En una carta estelar del Cosmere que fue encargada por un mecenas desconocido,[6] la Cicatriz incluye una constelación conocida como "El Dragón".[6][1] La mayoría de las estrellas de la Cicatriz tienen un tinte rojo en la carta,[1] y se perciben como rojas cuando se ven desde varios planetas, a diferencia de otras estrellas.[7][8] El color es significativo,[9] probablemente por la asociación de Trell con ambas estrellas y el color rojo, pero aún se desconoce la razón.
La forma aparente de la Cicatriz varía según el punto de vista en el Cosmere. No siempre es visible en todos los planetas.[10][3] Esto se debe a la posición de los distintos sistemas planetarios[3] y a factores locales como la niebla o la ceniza.[11]
Nombres Locales y Observaciones
Treno
“Los bosques estaban oscuros esa noche. La luz del Cinturón de Estrellas no
parecía filtrarse por las ramas tanto como debería.
”
En Treno, la Cicatriz es conocida como el Cinturón de Estrellas.[12][3] Treno no tiene luna,[13] lo que hace que las noches sean extremadamente oscuras. El Cinturón de Estrellas suele ser lo suficientemente brillante para iluminar débilmente los objetos, incluso cuando la luz se filtra entre las ramas de los árboles.[12] Treno puede estar relativamente cerca de la Cicatriz, ya que [[[Silencio Montane]]] da a entender que la posición del Cinturón Estelar en el cielo cambia cada día.[12] The residents of Threnody do not describe the Starbelt's light as red; the star at the center of the Threnodite system also appears to be red[1][13] which may affect their perception of the Scar.

Roshar
“The crimson eyes hovered like Taln's Scar - like spheres in the darkness, deeper in color than any ruby. ”
Most Rosharan people refer to the Scar as Taln's Scar, named for the Herald known as Taln.[8] Taln's Scar is described as deep red in color, and it changes position in different seasons.[8] It is visible before the sun sets and other twinkling white stars (accompanied by starspren) appear.[15] Reya's Tear is another notably bright star in the sky, but it is not part of Taln's Scar.[15] Roshar has three moons that rise and set during the night;[16] between moons, the stars provide adequate illumination for someone to move around[17] but not quite enough to read or draw.[18] The position of Taln's scar on one's seventh birthday is relevant in Rosharan astrology.[19]

Scadrial
Classical Scadrial
In Classical Scadrial, no mention is made of any unusually bright stars or constellations, even when Sazed discusses an astronomically-aware people known as the Nelazan.[20] During the Final Empire, the sky was largely obscured by mist and the ashmounts, to the point that even an allomancer burning tin could not always see the stars,[21] with the exception of tin savants.[22] Vin is able to see the stars by using tin or by using steel to fly above the mists.[23] She is able to see some of the same stars that would be in the sky of Threnody,[24] but still does not take note of anything that resembles the Scar. It is possible that Luthadel's orientation at the north pole of Scadrial during this era[25] was such that the Scar was not visible.
Post-Catacendre Scadrial
“The mists were out, curling around outside, though the skyscraper was tall enough he thought he could see stars and the Red Rip through that mist. ”
During the Catacendre, Harmony moves Scadrial back to its original orientation and orbit.[27] Hundreds of years later, Waxillium Ladrian sees a celestial phenomenon known as the Red Rip on several occasions, although he seems to view it as mundane. The Red Rip is not described in detail, but it is prominent on cloudless nights, and sometimes sits low on the horizon.[7] It is bright enough that it can sometimes be seen through the mists when they are present if observed at high enough elevation.[26] When Wax is temporarily dead, Harmony shows him a seemingly troublesome red haze that is enveloping Scadrial,[28] but this haze is not necessarily related to the Red Rip.[29]
