'''Shadesmar''' is the Rosharan subastral in the Cognitive Realm,.{{wob ref|4445}} It encompasses the entirety of the Rosharan system{{wob ref|14144}}{{wob ref|2262}} and is the kingdom, and birthplace, of spren.{{book ref|sa3|89}}

=== Locations ===

The Rosharan subastral is part of a single infinite plane{{wob ref|8594}} that connects to the other subastrals in the cosmere by regions, that are locally known as "''Expanses"''.{{map ref|Shadesmar}} Moving far enough in the direction of an Expanse, will take you to another world in the cosmere.{{wob ref|1392}}{{wob ref|1540}} The four Expanses at the edge of the Rosharan subastral are;

It possible {{wob ref|13234}} to cross between diametrical points on Roshar by utilizing the Cognitive Realm, however, it would be difficult.{{wob ref|12721}}

*[[Celebrant]] - a prominent trading port that can be found in the Sea of Lost Lights.

Shadesmar overlays the Physical Realm,{{book ref|sa2|1}} however, as the Cognitive Realm is more compact,{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} locations to not map one to one between the two realms.{{wob ref|13234}} As the realm forms based on people’s perception of objects and space, the vertical dimension,{{book ref|sa4|22}}, space between planets,{{wob ref|5671}}{{wob ref|1392}} and unknown locations in the Physical Realm,{{wob ref|4132}}{{wob ref|5671}} are particularly compressed. Shadesmar geography does not need to be based off naturally occurring Physical Realm geology, and can also form as a reflection of man-made land or water sources.{{wob ref|11870}}

The sky in Shadesmar is pitch black{{book ref|sa2|7}} with no moon or stars.{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|sa4|22}} On the horizon sits a small, frail,{{book ref|sa4|22}} white sun,{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa2|1}} Itthat provides enough light to illuminate the lands but not the sky, despite appearing almost too weak to achieve even this.{{book ref|sa4|22}} The sun does not move or change regardless of time of day or distance traveled - because of this, Shadesmar does not have any natural day and night cycle.{{book ref|sa3|91}}{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|Sa4|24}} Shadesmar has a natural atmosphere with breathable air. This is, in part, due to air permeating into the Cognitive from the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|9512}}

===== Shadesmar Oceans =====

Instead of water, Shadesmar oceans, rivers, and lakes are made of small, translucent,{{book ref|sa2|1}} dark glass beads,{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} approximately the size of the tip of an index finger,{{book ref|sa4|22}} a bean, or a fingernail.{{wob ref|8533}} Each of these beads represent the soul of ana non-living item in the Physical Realm,{{book ref|sa3|89}} and hashave a very basic consciousness that is able to communicate its primal intent. The beads cannot always be understood and some spren are able to act as translators between beads and other parties.{{book ref|sa2|7}} Beads can be removed from their location in the ocean and taken anywhere within Shadesmar, regardless of where its corresponding item is in the Physical Realm, as the body and mind of the object are connected via the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|108}} The beads must be securely stored securely, however, to prevent them from returning on their own to the corresponding location of their item.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Consuming a bead and transitioning to the Physical Realm would have a negative effect.{{wob ref|12032}} There are no beads that represent the power of the Shards in the system.{{wob ref|14026}}

Investiture, such as Stormlight, can be detected by the beads if contained in a gemstone, or held by a Radiant. The degree that the beads can sense Investiture from a Knights Radiant is dependent on the orderOrder, with some being less "detectable" than others.{{book ref|sa3|89}} Because of the reaction of the Shademar ocean beads, it can be dangerous for Surgebinders to use their powers while in the Realm, lest they draw the beads - and dangerous spren - to themselves and their companions.{{book ref|sa3|89}} Despite these issues, traveling Shadesmar without sufficient Stormlight is unwise as it is the currency of the realm and can be used by the spren to heal if required.{{book ref|sa4|36}}{{book ref|sa3|97}} It is unclear if the Shadesmar beads can be infused with Stormlight.{{wob ref|10295}}{{wob ref|10290}}

If fed Stormlight by a Lightweaver or Elsecaller, the beads can be used to build objects based on visualization the soul of a specific bead.{{wob ref|14422}} The beads will fit together with the source bead to form a lattice like structure until the object has been formed.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} These objects can be load bearing,{{book ref|sa3|89}} even when they would not be in the Physical Realm, and the entire object does not need to be created.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} Some creations can move on their own, though not very well.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} Creations of larger or more solid objects, may be more difficult to relocate without first collapsing the structure, than smaller ones that can be moved around more easily. Stormlight can be reclaimed from these creations, although not all is returned to the user.{{book ref|sa3|89}}

Like with water, it is possible to drown if pulled under the beads, as they will swarm beings if they make contact and will attempt to force their way into a person's mouth and throat,{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} causing them to suffocate.{{book ref|sa1|70}} It is not possible to swim through the beads as they provide no buoyancy, and instead people will sink into what feels like a viscous liquid.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} There is an underwater current that moves the beads,{{book ref|sa3|93}}{{book ref|sa3|99}} that is stronger than what would normally be found in the Physical Realm oceans.{{book ref|sa4|26}}

==== Flora and Fauna ====

===== Flora =====

===== Fauna =====

===== Beings =====

Living beingbeings reflect in Shadesmar as small flames.{{book ref|sa2|7}}{{book ref|sa1|45}} These flames differ in size between species{{book ref|sa2|7}} and although they are often found hovering just above the Shadesmar ground,{{book ref|sa3|87}} they can also be found at different elevations depending on their location in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa4|22}} The flames do not produce heat,{{book ref|sa3|89}} however, they do produce light.{{book ref|sa1|70}}

If someone is corrupted, their soul will turn red.{{book ref|sa3|116}} The souls of Fused appear as a twisted humanoid shape that shimmersshimmer with dark light before the Fused has taken over a physical body,{{book ref|sa3|116}} and after taking a host, will resemble a dark flame that pulses like a beating heart.{{book ref|sa4|11}} The type of form that a singer is wearing is distinguishable through viewing their Cognitive aspect based on the spren they hold in their gemheart, and it is easy to tell if they are a Fused, Regal, or ordinary singer. It is also possible to tell apart the different brands of Fused by viewing their cognitive aspect.{{book ref|sa4|11}}

===== Spren =====

Shadesmar is predominantly populated by spren, with true spren organized in civilizations and lesser spren roaming wild, similar to animals as they would be found in the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa4|22}} Many of these lesser spren live within the bead ocean{{book ref|sa3|89}} as they are drawn to human populations that are in the equivalent location in the other realm.{{book ref|sa3|101}} There is a regionality to the spread of spren types and certain spren may be more commonly found in different areas.{{wob ref|14430}} The number of spren in Shadesmar help to act as ‘release"release valves’valves" for Honor’s splintered power, due to their nature as Splinters.{{wob ref|4129}}

Spren physically reside in the Shadesmar and, unlike in the Physical Realm, have mass and substance,{{book ref|sa3|91}} Lesser spren can be pulled through to the Physical Realm if they are strongly attracted by an emotion or natural phenomena,{{book ref|sa2|1}}{{book ref|sa2|7}} while true spren can choose to transition their mind. Generally, only part of a spren, lesser or true, moves through to the Physical Realm; as such, most humans have never viewed the real bodies of the spren.{{book ref|sa2|3}}{{book ref|sa3|87}} While in Shadesmar, true spren do not need a Nahel bond to remain sapient.{{book ref|sa3|91}} The bodies of spren will change if corrupted by Sja-anat.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Effects such as rippling clothing and hair that occur for some spren in the Physical Realm, do not occur in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

Spren that have transitioned have barely any substance in the Physical making it difficult to touch them, and in some cases it should be impossible.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} When Radiant spren first transition their minds from Shadesmar, they lose much of their mind and memory,{{book ref|sa2|7}} and risk losing their sapience.{{book ref|sa1|11}} This memory loss differs between spren and/or likely returns at different rates.{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}{{book ref|sa4|22}} Returning to the Cognitive Realm does not restore their memories completely, however, spren do appear to gain a certain amount of recognition about their surroundings{{book ref|sa3|95}} and some memories of the Realmrealm upon returning to Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|93}} It is possible for an unbonded true spren to return to the Cognitive Realm, although it is unknown how a spren would do this or whether any effects they have suffered in the Physical Ream would be reversed.{{book ref|sa4|67}}

==== Climate ====

Weather patterns in Shadesmar differ to those from the Physical Realm, and are not based on temperature or precipitation.{{book ref|sa4|75}} As such, travelers and residents of the Cognitive Realm do not need shelters that are equipped to deal with storms ofor bad weather.{{book ref|sa4|26}} There is also no wind in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|97}}{{book ref|sa3|116}}

Instead of physical patterns, the Shadesmar weather has a direct effect on the emotions and wellbeing of spren, causing them to feel invigorated on some days and dreary and weighed down on others. Both truesprentrue spren and lessersprenlesser spren are affected by these weather patterns, and smaller types of spren can become aggravated based on the daily weather.{{book ref|sa4|75}}{{book ref|sa4|87}} This phenomenon is also seen with the passing highstorm, which provides truesprentrue spren with energy and helps to revitalize them.{{book ref|sa3|110}}

===== Types of Weather Patterns =====

====== Crystalline Day ======

====== Energetic Weather ======

One type of weather energizes the truesprentrue spren, who become chattier and visibly more cheerful. The spren can hear a faint drumming in the back of their mind during this weather, which sounds upbeat and energetic.{{book ref|sa4|87}}

====== Highstorm ======

The highstorm appears as ripples and vibrant colors in the sky, with shimmering clouds that are an ethereal luminescence.{{book ref|sa3|97}} There is a pulse to the highstorm, that may be similar in nature to the beat heard by truesprentrue spren during other weather phenomenons.{{book ref|sa3|97}}

==== Perpendicularity ====

===== Honor's Perpendicularity =====

Honor’s Perpendicularity, also referred to as honor’s path,{{book ref|sa4|111}} is an unstable portal{{book ref|sa3|93}} that can allow for transport between the Physical and Cognitive Realm. It moves around Shadesmar randomly, however, can be summoned by both Dalinar and Ishar.{{book ref|sa3|119}}{{book ref|sa4|111|Ishar}} The Stormfather can feel when the perpendicularity is opened, except when done by Ishar.{{book ref|sa4|111}} The Fused also appear to be negatively affected by the perpendicularity.{{book ref|sa3|119}}

The size of it when opened can be controlled{{book ref|sa4|47}} and when open, the perpendicularity often, but not always, shrouds the summoner in a bright, almost impenetrable light. This light is also blinding to the summoner from their place within the perpendicularity with people in the vicinity being hard to see.{{book ref|sa4|111}} In Shadesmar, Honor’s Perpendicularity forms as a brilliant glowing pillar. If forming above the ocean, the perpendicularity will create a path from itself towards the land so it can be reached, by locking the beads together into a solid object.{{book ref|sa3|119}} Some people and objects, however, such as Ishar and Nightblood, can be seen clearly when they are within the perpendicularity.{{book ref|sa4|111}} It is quite taxing to hold open.{{book ref|sa4|3}}{{book ref|sa4|111}} The perpendicularity can be consumed by Nightblood if he is drawn within it it. If he is stabbed into its center, the perpendicularity will be closed but not destroydestroyed.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

When the perpendicularity is summoned, Shadesmar is visible to the summoner{{epigraph ref|sa3|5}} and certain individuals in their proximity,{{book ref|sa4|3}} although not everyone who is a passive witness to the opening of the perpendicularly can see through to the other realm.{{book ref|sa4|6}}{{book ref|sa4|5}} It is also easier to view and access by those who utilize the Surge of Transformation.{{cite}} The rhythms and tones of Roshar, can be heard when the perpendicularity has been opened.{{book ref|sa4|3}}{{book ref|sa4|6}}

The perpendicularity forms during each highstorm,{{book ref|sa3|64}} however isdoes not appear to be the storm itself.{{citewob ref|1525}}{{book ref|sa3|119}} This allows for the renewal of gemstones, due to the perpendicularity combining and piercing the three realms and exposing gems and spheres to the Spiritual Realm.{{book ref|sa3|64}} When moving freely of its own accord, Honor’s Perpendicularity is considered to be unpredictable and dangerous and will appear randomly at different points across the Cognitive Realm.{{book ref|sa3|93}} Due to its wild nature, guides advice against travelers trying to locate it.{{book ref|sa3|93}}

===== Cultivation's Perpendicularity =====

As there are Physical Realm items that pass through Shadesmar, it is possible that some level of trade is allowed by the Horneater people, though they are selective of who can trade through the perpendicularity.{{book ref|sa4|13}} The Dawnshard is known to have arrived on Roshar through Cultivation's Perpendicularity.{{book ref|sa3.5|14}}
