'''Greater Hexi''' is a small nation in southern [[Roshar]] during the [[Era of Solitude]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
== Geography ==
Greater Hexi lies in the south-central part of the [[Roshar]]an continent, between the [[Tarat Sea]] and the mountains where [[Urithiru]] is located. It shares borders with [[Marat]] and [[Tu Fallia]] to its south-west and north-east respectively, though there are no apparent geographical features that dictate those borders.{{map ref|Roshar}}
The country has few geographical features, being composed mostly of desolate, windswept flatlands. They are largely devoid of [[rockbud]]s, but rather covered in small gashes, about one to three inches deep, giving it an appearance of wrinkles or ripples. Those "wrinkles" are covered with lichen on the stormward side, and flattened grass on the opposite one. Trees are sparse and scrawny, bending leeward so far as to nearly touch the ground. The mountaintops are similarly bare, scoured raw by the [[highstorm]]s.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
As far as is known, the only notable location in Greater Hexi is the [[Valley]] of the [[Nightwatcher]], in the mountains that form the country's north-western border.{{book ref|sa3|114}}
== Politics and Culture ==
In {{Rosharan date|~1168}} [[Dalinar]] takes a small contingent of soldiers into Hexi when he visits the Nightwatcher, they travel with a caravan until they're close to the Valley.{{book ref|sa3|114}}▼
The people of Hexi are largely nomadic; one can travel there for many days without encountering a village.{{book ref|sa3|106}}{{book ref|sa3|114}} Like other states in the region, it's considered a backwater.{{book ref|sa3|106}}
At this time, it is unknown if there is a "Lesser Hexi", or some equivalent. However, the state is usually referred to as simply "Hexi", making the existence of other Hexis unlikely.{{book ref|sa3|106}}{{book ref|sa3|114}}
== Mentions ==
While travelling through [[Marat]], [[Szeth]] compares its people to the nomadic tribes of Hexi.{{book ref|sa3|106}}
