'''Cultivation's Perpendicularity''', referred to as "the pool" or the "water of life" by the [[Unkalaki]],{{book ref|sa3.5|15}}{{book ref|sa2|46}} is the only known stable [[perpendicularity]] on [[Roshar]]. Like all Perpendicularitiesperpendicularities, Cultivation's Perpendicularity allows for travel between [[Roshar]]'s [[Physical Realm]] and [[Shadesmar]]. Although it is possible to enter Roshar through other means, they are known to be highly unstable; as such, this appears to be the main method by which [[worldhopper]]s arrive at the planet.{{book ref|sa3|93}}▼
== Overview ==
Cultivation's Perpendicularity is located in the [[Horneater Peaks]] on Roshar. It is either one or all of the [[Horneater Oceans]], warm bodies of water that allow people to live there despite the high altutide. It's filled with ordinary water at the top; however, beneath this layer, it appears to be made of something else, likely the liquid investiture of the [[Shard]] [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa2|46}} It's possible that living near Cultivation's Perpendicularity can affect people, as among the [[Unkalaki]] - the Horneaters - there are people called ''alaii'iku'', capable of perceiving [[spren]] that are normally invisible to the human eye.{{book ref|sa1|21}}{{ref|text=However, it's also possible that this is the result of their [[Singer]] ancestry, as Singers have been shown to perceive spren more than humans do.}}▼

== History ==
[[Rock]]Sometimes mentionswhile thatswimming hisin peoplethe canOceans, sometimesthe Horneaters would visit the "place of the gods" when swimming in the Oceans, implying that the [[Unkalaki]] willwould sometimes travel through the Perpendicularityperpendicularity, albeit briefly.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
 
Both [[Wit]] and [[Azure]] useused this Perpendicularityperpendicularity when arriving on [[Roshar]]. The former comespassed through while [[Rock]] iswas still inat the Peaks, while the latter likely arrivesuses it some time later, chasing a "criminal", (presumably [[Zahel]]).{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{book ref|sa3|93}}
 
During the [[True Desolation]], the Perpendicularityperpendicularity iswas assaulted fromthrough the [[Shadesmar]] side by the [[Voidbringers]], who taketook control of it, and blockadeblockaded, it, haltingto anyonecontrol approaching its area and demanding tribute. Because of thistravel, mostas sprenthey choosebelieved toit avoidwould cominghelp near;secure however,them [[Honorspren]]a warshipsfoothold are willing to attempt to runin the blockade,realm andso [[Azure]]they stillcould believes itbegin to bebuild thetheir safestown way to leave Shadesmarempire.{{book ref|sa3|102108}} Though it seemsseemed that the Voidbringer presence in the region iswas limited to the [[Cognitive Realm]], it still hashad some sort of impact on the inhabitants of the Peaks.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
 
Since the [[Fused]] increased their influence in Shadesmar, travelers moving through the perpendicularity have become uncommon.{{book ref|sa3|97}} This occupation gained the area a poor reputation, and travel to the area became increasingly rarer with ships in the area vanishing before they reached their destination.{{book ref|sa3|101}} The Fused began sailing their warships through the region, halting anyone they came upon and demanding tribute of them. Because of this, most spren chose to avoid the region; with the exception of the [[honorspren]] who sent warships to attempt to destroy the Fused's blockades, and [[Azure]] who still believed it to be the safest way to transfer to the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|102}} When she accidentally finds herself stuck in Shadesmar, Azure attempts to convince [[Kaladin]] and the other members of their group that they should try and go to the perpendicularity to transfer back to the Physical Realm.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
