=== Topographical Features ===
Like all "seas" in Shadesmar, the Sea of Lost Lights isn't filled with water, but rather small beads that represent the various [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] aspects of physical objects.{{book ref|sa3|89}} There are no winds in Shadesmar, and the only known weather phenomenas are the highstorm and the strips of clouds common to the subastral.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Nonetheless, the sea roils and the beads constantly move and clack against each other.{{book ref|sa3|93}}
The Sea of Lost Lights has numerous peninsulas, corresponding to Physical rivers, and several small islands, equivalent to lakes.{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}} The land is made from a material akin to dark glass or obsidian.{{book ref|sa3|89}}

=== Ecology ===
▲The Sea of Lost Lights has numerous peninsulas, corresponding to Physical rivers, and several small islands, equivalent to lakes.{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}} The land is made from a material akin to dark glass or obsidian.{{book ref|sa3|89}} Many peninsulas, most notably those that represent the Deathbend River and its tributaries, are referred to as channels.{{map ref|Alethkar}} They are:
There is a variety of plant life in Shadesmar, which, like in the Physical Realm, appears to differ based on region. In the northern section of the Sea of Lost Lights, fernlike plants and mushroom-like trees can be found growing along the peninsula shorelines that reflect rivers in Alethkar.{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|sa3|97}}Further south, a jungle made of black trees with multicolored leaves, red trees that end in minerals, and moss, can be found on the island representing the [[Longbrow's Straits]].{{book ref|sa3|110}} Along the southern edge of the Sea of Lost Lights, there are crystal trees with spikey limbs and no leaves.{{book ref|sa2|9}}

▲There is also a fairly sizable population of non-sapient spren that live within the ocean of beads.{{book ref|sa3|89}}{{book ref|sa3|95}}{{book ref|sa3|97}}
▲=== Notable locations ===
▲Spren live in a number of cities and other settlements within Shadesmar. The Sea of Lost Lights includes the following settlements;
* [[Celebrant]]
* [[Candlemore]]
At the beginning of the [[True Desolation]], many cities in the Sea of Lost Lights were taken over by the [[Fused]], although they ruled rather lightly, save for occasionally setting things on fire.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
After being transported to Shadesmar through the corrupted [[Kholinar]] [[Oathgate]], [[Shallan]], [[Kaladin]], and their spren, as well as [[Adolin]] and [[Azure]], got trapped in the Sea of Lost Lights.{{book ref|sa3|89}} They traveled to [[Riino
At some point around 1175 the Ghostbloods created a shipping route through the Sea of Lost Lights with the intent to move Investiture through the area.{{book ref|sa4|13}}
