The '''Physical Realm''' is the realm of existence in the [[cosmere]] that contains what is perceivable to the physical senses.{{tes ref|12}} Of the three [[Realmatic Theory|Realms]], it is the most readily understood.

The cosmere is a small star cluster within a dwarf galaxy.{{wob ref|1244}}{{wob ref|11459}}

This article lists all the known celestial bodies in the cosmere as they appear in the Physical Realm, including planets, stars and moons.

== The Selish System ==
:''Main article:'' [[Selish system]]

The Selish system orbits a yellow star named [[Mashe]]. There are five planets in this system: two within the habitable zone, then two gas giants named Ky and Ralen, and finally an unnamed dwarf planet. 

=== Donne ===
Donne is the closest planet to the sun. While it is in a habitable region, it is barren and suffers from terrible dust storms.{{au ref|selish}}

=== Sel ===
:''Main article:'' [[Sel]]

The second planet from the sun, Sel is an Earth-like planet inhabited by humans and artificially created beings called [[seon]]s and [[skaze]]. Sel was dominated by the [[Fjordell Empire]], with [[Arelon]] and [[Teod]] being the only remaining free nations. All these nations (except Teod which is located on a continent to the north) were situated on the continent of Opelon (named Sycla by the Fjordell Empire).{{au ref|selish}}{{map ref|Sycla}}
