The '''Reshi Sea''' is a body of water in northern [[Roshar]]. It is the largest known sea on Roshar and it covers a significant portion of the middle of the continent. The southern end of the sea is separated from the [[Purelake]] by [[Marabethia]], while the [[Reshi Isles]] archipelago lies at the northern end of the sea, adjacent to the [[Steamwater Ocean]]. Other countries along the sea's coastline include [[Iri]], [[Rira (country)|Rira]], [[Babatharnam]], [[Tu Bayla]], [[Jah Keved]], and [[Herdaz]].{{map ref|Roshar}} During the [[Heraldic Epochs]], the sea was in the territory of [[Rishir]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
