The country lies in the southern part of central Roshar, between an unnamed mountain range and the [[Tarat Sea]]. It borders [[Tu Fallia]] to the west and [[Jah Keved]] to the east. A single river splits the country in two. ThereDespite area long coastline on [[Tarat Sea]], it has no ports or settlements of global importance there.{{map ref|Roshar}} However,It itshas positionan at the edgearea of westernaround and336,000 easternkm<sup>2</sup>.{{url Roshar lends it great strategic importanceref|url=https://www.

Triax's position near the center of Roshar lends it significant strategic importance. For any military force seeking to cross the southern continent, the mountains to the north and the coast to the south form a bottleneck through Triax. This makes moving troops through through the area highly difficult, and provides a defending force with a strategic advantage.{{book ref|sa3|107}} However, this advantage may be affected by control of the nearby [[Vedenar]] [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa4|17}}

== History ==
=== Ancient History ===
During the [[Silver Kingdoms]] era, the region was split in half between [[Makabakam]] and [[Valhav]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} At some point during the [[Era of Solitude]], the area that would later become Triax was invaded by the Veden king [[NanHar]], although he died during the war and was succeeded by his brother, [[NanKhet]]. As NanKhet died only three months later, giving way to athe new[[Siln]] dynasty,;{{book ref|sa3|53}} it's likelyis possible that the SilnVeden conquest of Triax never fully succeeded.{{book ref|sa3|53}}It is also unclear whether it came to be ruled by the Siln dynasty or other conquerors such as [[Shubreth-son-Mashalan]] or [[Sadees]], as it was not mentioned as part of any empire's territory.
 
=== Modern History ===
[[Vstim]] has purchased wormy grain in Triax at a large discount knowing that he could sell it for a profit in other lands.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}}
Despite Triax's strategic importance, it seemingly became a relatively obscure country over time. There were no known cities of note, although some trade did occur in the area. [[Vstim]] purchased wormy grain in Triax at a large discount knowing that he could sell it for a profit in other lands.{{book ref|sa3.5|6}} [[Dalinar Kholin]] did not have first-hand experience with Triax and other nearby countries, indicating that the area was probably not affected by the many skirmishes between Jah Keved and [[Alethkar]] during his lifetime.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
 
During the [[True Desolation]], the [[Voidbringer]]s gathered in [[Marat]] and then quickly struck at the strip of land bordering the Tarat Sea, including [[Marat]] and Triax. Contact with the country, including its [[spanreed]]s, was lost mere weeks after the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], implying that it was one of the first states that fell to the enemy.{{book ref|sa3|27}} Following the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], Triax remained under control of [[Odium]]'s forces.{{book ref|sa3|122}} DalinarHowever, andafter hisa coalitiondecisive desiredvictory toby recaptureQueen the[[Fen]], areaDalinar inand orderhis tocoalition reinforce theirmaintained naval superiority in the south of the continent, allowing them to use [[Thaylen]] ships to provide supplies to their troops in [[Emul]] without needing to travel through Triax.{{book ref|sa4|17}}
