Shadesmar overlays the Physical Realm,{{book ref|sa2|1}} however, as the Cognitive Realm is more compact,{{book ref|sa4|i|2}} locations do 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}} that 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 a breathable atmosphere due to air permeating into the Cognitive from the Physical Realm.{{wob ref|9512}}

 

 

=== 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}}

 

==== Jasnah’s Holiday ====

[[Jasnah]] first became aware of Shadesmar as a real place in 1167 when she was pulled through by [[Ivory]] when he attempted to kill her.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}} After bonding Ivory and becoming an Elsecaller, Jasnah began to research Shadesmar, along with [[Urithiru]] and the [[Voidbringers]].{{book ref|sa2|1}}

 

At some point prior to 1175, the Ghostbloods began to set up trade routes in Shadesmar, including in the [[Sea of Lost Lights]]. Their intention was to set up a powerful trade empire with [[Stormlight]] and [[Investiture]] being their main commodity. They wished to find [[Urithiru]] before the Radiants so that they could seize control of the [[Oathgate]]s and have power over the ability to travel between the Physical and Cognitive Realms, as this would allow them to dominate the market as they could easily move their good back and forth without interference.{{book ref|sa4|13}}

 

[[Worldhoppers]] are common enough in Shadesmar that the true spren are aware of other planets, their inhabitants,{{book ref|sa4|24}} and will trade for their wares.{{book ref|sa3|102}}

 

Prior to the [[Recreance]], the spren created written treaties between their nations, some of which have survived.{{book ref|sa4|94}}

 

Cryptics have a feared reputation in Shadesmar,{{book ref|sa2|3}} however, rarely venture outside of their city.{{book ref|sa4|26}} They are not well liked by other spren.{{book ref|sa4|26}} [[Cultivationspren]] are not very important politically,{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} however, those who re-bond humans are considered quite highly by others in the Cognitive Realm.{{book ref|sa4|19}} [[Inkspren]] are not commonly found around Shadesmar as the group tend to keep to themselves.{{book ref|sa4|29}}

 

Humans and spren have a strained relationship due to the Recreance, which had a profound effect on spren societies, with many true spren being partially{{book ref|sa3|47}}{{book ref|sa4|87}} or almost completely wiped out.{{book ref|sa4|87}} The spren hold deep resentment for humans and while humans have gained back the trust of some groups through reforging [[Nahel]] bonds, many of the spren are still suspicious or outright hostile towards them.{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa4|29}} Many true spren blame humans for the deaths of their friends and family during the Recreance,{{book ref|sa4|30}}{{book ref|sa4|29}} as they are unaware that these spren were willing participants at the time. Despite the tension between the two races, humans have never been known to attack spren or harm them.{{book ref|sa4|36}}{{book ref|sa4|111}}

 

The Radiants of [[Urithiru]] have attempted to open a diplomatic relationship with some of the more hostile spren, including the honorspren.{{book ref|sa4|30}} Following [[Adolin]]’s trial at the hands of the honorspren, and [[Maya]]’s confession about spren participation in the Recreance, the relationship between humans and spren may start to improve and be mended.{{book ref|sa4|115}}{{book ref|sa4|94}}

[[Odium]]’s forces control different sections of Shadesmar, including [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]],{{book ref|sa3|102}} an area near [[Thaylen City]],{{book ref|sa3|102}} and the city of [[Celebrant]],{{book ref|sa3|102}} and plan to build their own empire within the Cognitive Realm.

Since their arrival in Shadesmar, the [[Voidspren]] have spread their influence across the realm.{{book ref|sa3|108}} [[Shanay-im]] are occasionally seen by travelers, flying around Shadesmar,{{book ref|sa4|26}} and will conduct inspections on cities that they have captured.{{book ref|sa3|102}}

There is a level of hostility between the [[honorspren]] and the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|102}} The honorspren appear to be a big contender in terms of controlling land in the southern portion of the [[Sea of Souls]], with any areas not controlled by either being dubbed as "free lands."{{book ref|sa4|29}} Despite this antagonistic relationship, some honorspren are considering siding with the Fused and Odium’s forces, as the highspren have already done. This would likely have a domino effect on the other spren types, and pave the way for many spren to join the enemy.{{book ref|sa4|87}}

 

The [[Ghostbloods]] are planning to commercialize [[Stormlight]] and create a monopoly, due to its easy transportability to an off world market, by utilizing Shadesmar. A trade path has been established through the [[Sea of Lost Lights]].{{book ref|sa4|13}} With the main currency in Shadesmar being Stormlight, this would likely have a profound and wide reaching effect on the realm and would give the Ghostbloods and [[Thaidakar]], a large amount of power in Shadesmar.

 

 

=== Travel ===

==== Local Travel ====

Travel is largely conducted by [[Reachers]] and [[peakspren]], who can be hired for travel over both land and sea.{{book ref|sa3|99}}{{book ref|sa4|26}} They utilize [[mandras]] for sea travel in lieu of standard sailing equipment to offset the lack of wind in Shadesmar.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Multiple mandras have to be used at the same time on all ships, as these spren will occasionally be pulled into the [[Physical Realm]] and vanish -- a phenomenon known as "dropping."{{book ref|sa3|99}} Ships in Shadesmar move faster than an average ship in the Physical Realm, largely because they are not dependent on wind direction and can use the most efficient path to reach their destination.{{book ref|sa3|99}} Some ships will keep rations and a water making fabrial aboard in case they take on human passengers.{{book ref|sa3|99}}

=== Leisure Activities ===

==== Gardening ====

Gardening appears to be an art form in Shadesmar, that is enjoyed particularly by [[cultivationspren]]. It differs from Physical Realm gardening, with the cultivation of plants being considered mundane and pedestrian. Instead, Shadesmar gardening involves growing items out of crystals, based on the souls of objects, though this method is distinctly different from manifesting souls. Cultivationspren are known to create gardens of chairs. Like with Physical Realm artwork, these garden creations are put on display in exhibitions where they can be viewed by other spren.{{book ref|sa2.5|1}}
