The second planet is the eponymous planet of Greater Roshar, and the primary setting of the [[Stormlight Archive]]. The [[Shard]]s of [[Honor]] and [[Cultivation]] can be found here. Roshar features a single supercontinent, also called Roshar, on which its inhabitants live.

Beyond the asteroid belt are ten gas giants. These outer planets, which are designated by [[Ten Essences|Vorin numerals]], are '''Jes''', '''Nan''', '''Chach''', '''Vev''', '''Palah''', '''Shash''', '''Betab''', '''Kak''', '''Tanat''', and '''Ishi''', in order of increasing distance from the sun. The Rosharan gas giants have a minor presence on Shadesmar, which indicates that they are uninhabited. None of these planets have moons or ring systems.{{map ref|Roshar system}}▼
