Canticle is approximately 161 kilometers (100 miles) in radius, or around 0.025 cosmere standard, though it has an extremely large and dense Invested iron core. This iron core is not the sole source of the gravity, but it is its Invested nature that gives it a gravitational force of around 0.7 cosmere standard and allows it to retain [[wikipedia:Hydrostatic equilibrium|hydrostatic equilibrium]] and a planetary ring system despite its small size.{{cite}}{{book ref|tsm|34}}

 

The Canticle subastral of the [[Cognitive Realm]] is probably violent and filled with shaking and tremors.{{wob ref|16319}}

 

The natives on Canticle are primarily descended from inhabitants of [[Threnody]] that departed for the planet soon after the [[Evil]] attacked their ancestors. As such a great deal of Threnody's cultural norms persist on Canticle.{{book ref|tsm|15}}

 

The natives on Canticle are primarily descended from inhabitants of [[Threnody]] that departed for the planet soon after the [[Evil]] attacked their ancestors.{{book ref|tsm|15}} Many have pale skin, though nearly as many have darker skin close to that of an [[Azir|Azish]] person.{{book ref|tsm|3}} Some people, although not too many, have a variety of shades between.{{book ref|tsm|17}}

 

These people tell each other lots of stories, though all of them have some kind of moral.{{book ref|tsm|26}} A lot of the stories they tell involve children being eaten by shades.

 

Most of the planet's cities have been conquered by the [[Cinder King]], and the ones who haven't have been forced to the poles.{{book ref|tsm|11}} The Cinder King rules via two methods. A monopoly on [[sunheart]]s and the threat of his [[Charred]]. Each city also elects a Lodestar, who functions as their Chief Navigator and leader of the city.{{book ref|tsm|20}} Below the Cinder King are other officials, but it's unknown how much power they have.{{book ref|tsm|2}}{{book ref|tsm|26}}

 

All people on Canticle believe in [[Adonalsium]] as a deity.{{book ref|tsm|11}} They know that Adonalsium is dead and splintered into Shards.{{book ref|tsm|47}} Nonetheless they believe that everything that happens is his plan.

 

They seem to fear the sun, but also have great respect for it, calling it titles such as ‘the Sky Tyrant'.{{book ref|tsm|12}} It is unknown however if this is a part of their religion or if it’s simply a part of their mindset.

 

The people on Canticle speak a language closely related to the Threnodite language.{{book ref|tsm|2}} The only known examples of this language are: ‘Sess Nassith Tor’ which translates roughly to ‘one who escaped the sun.’ and ‘Kor Sess Nassith Tor’ which can be presumed to mean something similar.

 

Names, like back on [[Threnody]], are often related to an emotion, virtue, or even a concept, some examples are: Zeal, Confidence, Divinity.{{book ref|tsm|7}}

 

The people wear a wide variety of clothes. Officials are often seen wearing high collars that reach all the way to the chin, they also wear gloves.{{book ref|tsm|1}} Most people are swathed in clothing and lots of them wear gloves. Some officials from Union wear formal white coats, with open fronts and insignias on the shoulders.{{book ref|tsm|2}} The civilians wear mostly muted colors. Some women wear skirts, though many prefer long, skirtlike jackets, their fronts open to reveal trousers underneath. Many men and women wear hats with wide brims.{{book ref|tsm|1}}{{book ref|tsm|2}}

 

As Canticle’s Sun kills anyone who touches its light, the people have to constantly keep running from it.{{book ref|tsm|1}}{{book ref|tsm|2}} To do this, they live in large flying cities, each located in a different ‘corridor’ (latitude).{{book ref|tsm|15}} The cities are in turn made out off smaller ships, which can link together.{{book ref|tsm|3}} They have many different kinds of ships. Special types include farming ships, a type of ship made for sowing and harvesting crops, and prospectors, which are capable of finding [[sunheart]]s.{{book ref|tsm|23}}{{book ref|tsm|3}}{{book ref|tsm|12}} The people on Canticle also have access to hoverbikes.{{book ref|tsm|7}} [[Union]] also has some sort of Arena, although it's unknown if this is a regular thing among these cities.{{book ref|tsm|6}} All ships are powered by sunhearts.{{book ref|tsm|11}}

 

Beaconites in particular prefer lights that have a relatively low brightness.{{book ref|tsm|34}}

 

The people from Canticle grow crops in the area just in front of dawn, where a small portion of light is reflected to the ground by giant rings around the planet. This technique allows them to harvest every day, requiring only seeds and water.{{book ref|tsm|3}}

 

They also hunt animals; but their food appears to be rather bland and lacking in spice.{{cite}}

 

At some point, a very powerful being created and Invested Canticle and its sun, for a very specific purpose.{{wob ref|16261}}

 

Either shortly before his conquest, or during it, he found the Scadrian Research Center and began trading with them.{{book ref|tsm|44}} He gave them some people, who the Scadrians took heat from. And in return they gave him small tidbits of information, such as how to corrupt a sunheart and make the Charred.{{book ref|tsm|45}}

 

 

Investiture is relatively commonplace on Canticle. The sunlight is Invested, and the planet’s core is also densely Invested.{{book ref|tsm|34}}{{book ref|tsm|45}} The core tries to feed on any Investiture it can, but generally can't take it from people.{{book ref|tsm|34}}

 

A lot of technology, including the floating cities, is powered by sunhearts. These Invested ‘hearts’ are made by people who perished in the Invested sunlight while in the direct path between the sun and the planet. Sunhearts can be recharged.{{book ref|tsm|45}} Recently the [[Cinder King]] learned how to use the local investiture to make [[Charred]] from Scadrian researchers on the planet.{{book ref|tsm|45}}

 

*[[wikipedia:Canticle|Canticle]] is a word for a hymn or a chant, particularly referring to hymns or psalms taken from biblical or holy texts in the Christian faith.
