== Geography ==
Herdaz is a coastal nation in the north-east of Roshar, covering approximately one million square kilometres of land.{{url17s ref|name=rosharographyblog|634}} Most of its jagged coastline lies on the [[Reshi Sea]], while a small part of it faces [[Steamwater Ocean]] and the [[Bay of Elibath]]. From the south, Herdaz borders [[Jah Keved]] on two rivers and [[Alethkar]] on land. Across the sea, it is close to a number of [[Reshi Isles]].{{map ref|Roshar}}{{map ref|Alethkar}}
 
Most of the country is a series of long and narrow peninsulas jutting out into the sea, and a single larger one separating the island of [[Akak]] from the rest of the Reshi archipelago. The Herdazian interior appears to be rather flat, with a single major river dividing the western and eastern halves of the country, and a number of smaller, shorter coastal rivers. Though there are cities there, none of them are of global importance.{{map ref|Roshar}}{{map ref|Alethkar}}
 
== Trivia ==
* Herdaz's size is roughly similar to that of [[wikipedia: Colombia|Colombia]], or about half of [[wikipedia: Greenland|Greenland]].{{url17s ref| name=rosharographyblog|634}}
* Brandon created Herdazians after his wife noted that there are very few Hispanic cultures in fantasy worlds.{{wob ref|6467}} In particular, some elements of Herdaz are inspired by Mexico.{{wob ref|8883}}
