The '''Drunmu Basin''' is a region in southern [[Emul]] on [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}}{{book ref|sa4|64}} It was contested by [[Odium]]'s forces and the [[coalition of monarchs]] during the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa4|64}} 

==Geography and Ecology==
The basin is vast, and encompasses a large portion of Emul's southern territory along its borders with [[Tukar]] and [[Marat]]. The eastern end of the basin reaches the foot of the [[mountains of Ur]].{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}} The basin is largely flat, although it has some small hills and slopes. Rosharan grass covers most of the ground; [[pilevine]]s also flourish in the area, growing quite tall.{{book ref|sa4|64}} 

==History==
Emul sustained significant damage towards the end of the [[Eighty's War]] (due to the rise of Tezim, later revealed to be [[Ishar]]) and after the awakening of the [[singer]]s through the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|65}} Although the basin did not contain significant population centers, its location along the Emul-Tukar border made it strategically significant; Tezim's armies were stationed in the area.{{map ref|Eastern Makabak}} Within a few months of the [[Battle of Narak]], the singers under [[Odium]]'s control took over much of Emul's territory, including the basin. The Emuli sought assistance from the nascent [[coalition of monarchs]].{{book ref|sa3|96}}

By {{Rosharan date|1175|3}}, coalition forces had recaptured some of Emul's territory. The fighting came to a standstill; the coalition army was well-supplied but did not push into the basin since they were still wary of Ishar's army in Marat. The coalition turned to [[Dieno enne Calah]] to lead their military strategy. The Mink decided to mount an offensive in Emul, reasoning that the singer army would try to make a stand at this location, but the coalition would still be able to defeat them. This would improve morale and allow the coalition to stabilize [[Makabak]], and was more sensible than an assault on the enemy stronghold in [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa4|17}}

The Emuli conflict culminated in a series of large battles on the plains of the basin. The singer forces numbered around forty thousand including [[Fused]] and [[Regal]]s, while [[Dalinar]] supplemented the [[Azish]] forces in the area with reserves from [[Urithiru]] and various [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa4|39}}{{book ref|sa4|64}} [[Jasnah]] decided to personally participate in the battle to better understand the nature of war. This was the first battle in which she participated as a soldier. The fighting was intense, with thousands of casualties on both sides.{{book ref|sa4|64}} The coalition forces were ultimately victorious and took control of Emul,{{book ref|sa4|98}} although the Mink and Dalinar recognized that Odium had not thrown all of his resources at retaining it.{{book ref|sa4|112}} Dalinar then used the basin as the starting point of his journey to visit Ishar's camp.{{book ref|sa4|111}}

[[Hoid]] was in the basin when he realized that a [[Sleepless]] aligned with the [[Ghostbloods]] had been spying on him.{{book ref|sa4|64}}
