Sel is the second planet in the Selish system, orbiting a yellow star named [[Mashe]] while in turn being orbited by a single blue-white moon named '''Oem'''.{{wob ref|3826}} Its size is 1.5 [[cosmere standard]] and its gravity is 1.2 cosmere standard.{{au ref|Sel}}

At an unknown date, over 7700 standard years before the [[True Desolation]],{{book ref|sa4|14}}{{book ref|sa4|76}}{{wob ref|8928}}{{wob ref|5569}} the planet was settled by [[Devotion]] and [[Dominion]] against the rules made by the original Vessels. [[Odium]] used this as justification to attack both of the Shards,{{wob ref|8358}} this battle resulted in their Splintering. Their Investiture was then moved from the Spiritual Realm into the Cognitive to prevent anyone else from taking the Shards. This latent Investiture became dangerous plasma{{wob ref|6852}} and was named the [[Dor]]{{au ref|Sel}} and some of these [[splinter|splinters]] became the [[seon|seons]] and [[skaze]].{{wob ref|5492}}{{wob ref|7103}}{{wob ref|4679}}{{wob ref|5991}}{{wob ref|3024}}{{wob ref|3972}} They were created from the Investiture of Devotion and Dominion respectively.{{wob ref|4547}} Because of this, the world's magic systems became region specific.{{wob ref|1768}} These consequences were a side effect of Odium's actions, he didn't intend them to happen.{{wob ref|8428}}
[[Elantris]] was built centuries to over a millennium before its restoration.{{wob ref|4638}}
Three major empires eventually formed on Sel. Due to the planet's size, these empires largely ignored each other and considered the others as irrelevant.{{au ref|Sel}} One of the reasons for this isolation is the difficulty of travelling between the empires.{{wob ref|2813}}{{wob ref|4796}} Two such empires are the [[Rose Empire]] and [[Fjordell]]. [[Shu-Keseg]] rose as a religion focused on the unity of all people.{{wob ref|10407}}{{wob ref|1970}} A schism later formed in the religion over a disagreement on what unity meant, this lead to the creation of the [[Shu-Korath]] and [[Shu-Dereth]] traditions.{{wob ref|1970}}
