The '''Southern Depths''' is the ocean to the south of [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Roshar}} It lies off the coast of [[Tukar]], [[Marat]], and [[Thaylenah]]. It is presumably quite deep. It also likely extends to the south pole of the planet.{{map ref|Roshar}} Control of Thaylenah's waters dictates control of the entirety of the Southern Depth,{{book ref|sa3|107}} however, true dominance of the region requires control of Emul and Tukar as well.{{book ref|sa4|19}}

The ship relayed the information via [[spanreed]]. Then, figures with glowing eyes--the [[Fused]]--rose from a nearby city, attacking the ship, and the ship was never seenheard from again.{{book ref|sa3|109}} Shortly thereafter, the Voidbringer forces launched from Marat to Thaylen City, using the [[Everstorm]] to propel them quickly across the Southern Depths, triggering the [[Battle of Thaylen Fields]].{{book ref|sa3|115}}
 
The Urithiru coalition gained control of the Southern Depths several months after the Battle at Thaylen Field, after the Thaylen navy won the area and forced the enemy ships to retreat to the coast of Iri.{{book ref|sa4|17}}
