== Ecology and Geography == Braize is a cold, barren, inhospitable world, perhaps outside of the sun's habitable zone, as a result it contains no life.{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} It contains no vegetation or native life on its surface, however it does have an atmosphere due to the fact it has wind and the the surface is known to not be a vacuum.{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} However it is home to an ecosystem of self-aware [[spren]] as well the [[Fused]].{{au ref\|Roshar}}{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} Only Odium's spren are welcomed there as well as his allies; for those not aligned with him, visiting is both difficult and dangerous.{{wob ref\|2577}}{{au ref\|Roshar}} {{sidequote \|This is another planet, or it looks like one - and not a pleasant one, mind you. The kind without lights. No Stormlight ones, gaseous ones, or even electric ones. Damn place barely has an atmosphere. \|Hoid discussing Braize{{book ref\|sa4\|80}} \|side=right\|size=300px }} Braize is a cold, barren and inhospitable world that is farther out from the sun than Roshar. It contains no life on its surface.{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} Instead the planet is full of nothing more than a broken rocky landscape full of crags and chasms with no sources of light available, even the sky is described as being dark at all times.{{book ref\|sa4\|80}}{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} During [[Kaladin]]'s vision of the planet he experiences strong winds as well as flashes of light, potentially lightning strikes, but it is unclear how much of this was accurate and how much was added by Odium to frighten him.{{book ref\|sa4\|80}} The planet does contain an atmosphere, albeit a weak one.{{book ref\|sa4\|80}}{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} Due to the extreme nature of its landscape the only life on the planet is that of self-aware [[spren]], as well as the [[Fused]].{{au ref\|Roshar}}{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} Despite this however only Odium's spren are welcomed; for those not aligned with him visiting is both difficult and dangerous.{{wob ref\|2577}}{{au ref\|Roshar}} One such danger that [[Raboniel]] spoke of while discouraging [[Navani]] of ever visiting was that of a "storm" that apparently surrounds the planet in [[Shadesmar]], it is unclear however what she meant by this.{{book ref\|sa4\|89}} == History == Prior to the [[Shattering]], Braize was formed in the [[Rosharan system]] by [[Adonalsium]].{{epigraph ref\|sa2\|66}}{{wob ref\|9283}} For the majority of its history the planet was inhospitable and uninhabited. It was during the initial clashes between [[Honor]] and [[Odium]] on its closest neighbour, [[Roshar]], that its first inhabitants would arrive to Braize. As part of an effort to halt Odium, Honor deliberately bound him to the planet in order to stop his conquest of the [[Cosmere]].{{wob ref\|8560}}{{book ref\|sa3\|38}}{{book ref\|sa4\|14}} As part of this the [[Oathpact]] was formed which also ~~bounded~~bound the [[Herald\|Heralds]] and [[Fused]] to the planet. As per the pact so long as the Heralds did not choose to leave the planet the Fused would also be unable to escape, however, once ~~however~~even ~~the~~a ~~Heralds~~single Herald broke and chose to return to Roshar the Fused would follow suit causing a [[Desolation]] on Roshar.{{book ref\|sa3\|38}}{{book ref\|sa4\|14}} After many years of torture the Heralds began losing their sanity and decided to abandon the Oathpact at the [[Last Desolation]] leaving only [[Taln]] behind.{{book ref\|sa1\|part=prelude}} This exile from Roshar lasted 4500 years{{wob ref\|14215}} before the [[True Desolation]] began allowing the Fused to permanently live on Roshar. Braize primarily served as a prison planet for the Fused and holds no inhabitants besides them,{{wob ref\|660}} {{au ref\|roshar}} this makes it the third of the three planets in the Rosharan system to hold sentient life.{{wob ref\|7948}} The only type of [[spren]] that are welcomed on world ~~is Odium~~are ~~spren~~Voidspren.{{wob ref\|2577}} Because of its inhabitants and the presence of Odium the world is considered unsafe by outsiders.{{au ref\|roshar}} Despite the native population being bound on Braize they can still influence Roshar and [[Ashyn]] due to their proximity and the way [[~~connection~~Connection]] and [[~~identity~~Identity]] works between the three worlds.{{wob ref\|1043}} {{wob ref\|14144}} == Prison == In the [[Vorin]] religion, Braize is known as [[Damnation]], although it is referred to by its proper name in older songs.{{book ref\|sa2\|32}} Those who have committed particularly grave sins are supposed to go there after death.{{book ref\|sa2\|41}} It's unclear how much it figures into other Rosharan cultures - the Shin know about it, but the [[Iri]]ali Long Trail does not include it.{{book ref\|sa3\|121}}{{wob ref\|7953}} Unlike the rest of [[Rosharan system]], Braize is based around the number nine rather than ten.{{wob ref\|2745}} Like all other planets in the cosmere, it has a representation in [[Shadesmar]], although its ~~name and~~ nature ~~are~~is unknown.{{wob ref\|2576}} <!--Braize is unlikely to get its own books, but scenes from [[The Stormlight Archive]] will be set on Braize. - need more WoB digging before that can be proven--> == Trivia == * Some people on Roshar believe that Braize is inhabited with people.{{wob ref\|10308}} * The Iriali never visited Braize. {{wob ref\|7953}} == Notes == {{cosmere}} [[Category: Braize\| ]] [[es:Braize]]
