== Planets ==

The Greater Roshar system is composed of three terrestrial planets and ten gas giants, divided by the asteroid belt. In order from the sun, the terrestrial planets are:

 

; [[Ashyn]]: This is where [[The Silence Divine]] is set. While there are humans inhabiting this planet, a global cataclysm at some point in the past has forced most of its inhabitants to flee to Roshar, while the remainder lives in floating cities in the sky. The cataclysm was likely caused by overuse of [[Surge]]s by Ashynites, and has left the surface highly volcanically active. There is a known manifestation of Investiture on Ashyn, based around Surge-granting diseases, but no known Shard.{{wob ref|6646}}

 

; [[Roshar]]: The second planet is the eponymous Shardworld 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. Three moons, [[Roshar#Planetary System|Salas, Nomon, and Mishim]], orbit the planet. The majority of Roshar's sentient lifeforms lives on Roshar.
