Braize is a Shardworld in the Rosharan system.[2] It's the third planet from the sun, after Ashyn and Roshar.[1]
Braize is a cold, inhospitable world, perhaps outside of the system's habitable zone. However, while hostile to life, it is home to an ecosystem of self-aware spren, as well as a number of Cognitive Shadows, most likely the Fused.[3] The Shard Odium has made Braize its home, although his impact can be felt even on Roshar.[2] Only Odium's spren are welcome there; for those not aligned with him, visiting is both difficult and dangerous.[4][3]
Braize's most important function is that of a prison.[5] Odium has been trapped there following his battle with Honor, and after every Desolation, the Voidbringers are forced to return to Braize. While Odium is kept bound by Shardic power, they are kept sealed by the presence of the Heralds.[6] As long as the Heralds remain on Braize, Odium's forces cannot travel to Roshar. To counteract this, Voidbringers hunt them down and torture them until at least one of them gives up, restarting the cycle. Because of this, Taln has spent the past four and a half thousand years there.[7] In contrast to that, dead Knight Radiant do not go to Braize.[8]
Odium himself, however, cannot be released quite so easily - only someone holding the majority of Honor's power can set him free, and only by intent. This is something he seeks above all else, and he intends to "transform" Roshar once he is free to do so.[9]
In the Vorin religion, Braize is known as Damnation.[10] Those who have committed particularly grave sins are supposed to go there after death.[11]
Unlike the rest of Rosharan system, Braize is based around the number nine rather than ten.[12] Like all other Shardworlds, it has its representation in Shadesmar, although its name and nature are unknown.[13]
Braize is unlikely to get its own books, but scenes from The Stormlight Archive will be set on Braize.[Falta cita]
