The known world contains dozens of kingdoms.{{book ref|wb|5}}
== Geography and Ecology ==
The geography and ecology of Nalthis is largely unknown. [[Hallandren]] is unique in the known world of Nalthis as being the only place that [[Tears of Edgli]] will grow, as well as being the only known jungle climate.{{book ref|wb|32}} The growth of plants in this region is partly helped by [[Investiture]], much like the [[Elendel Basin]].{{wob ref|9833}} To
Unlike [[Roshar]], Nalthis experiences active plate tectonics.{{wob ref|3483}}
▲To the north of Hallandren is mountains which are controlled by [[Idris]].{{book ref|wb|5}} These contain the only known copper mines on the world.{{book ref|wb|16}} Further nations can be found north of the mountains. To the south of Hallandren is the Pahn Kahl{{book ref|wb|32}} Elephants and zebras are said to be exotic creatures from "the south." Whether this means they come from southern Hallandren or south of Hallandren is unclear.{{book ref|wb|27}}
== History ==
}}
Nalthis was created at an unknown date, but it is not old enough to have had fossils form on it.{{book ref|sa4|15}} The [[Nalthian system|system]] was settled by [[Endowment]], who remains the sole [[Shard]] in the system.{{wob ref|1120}}
Early in its history the nation of [[Chedesh]] dominated the world, and their sailors eventually reached the area that would later become known as [[Hallandren]]. The region was already inhabited by the [[Pahn Kahl]], but they were dismissed as not a 'true' nation. While there the Chedens discovered the [[Tears of Edgli]] for the first time. As the nation explored this new continent, they headed northwards; one Cheden died during the trip and became the first [[Returned]]. Remembered by the title "the First Returned", [[Vo]] declared the [[Five Visions]] and then died a week later. The men on his ship received his message and founded the kingdom of [[Hanald]]. They chose Vo's wife as the first monarch, beginning the Idrian royal line. This new kingdom quickly grew lucrative due to the Tears of Edgli, and their monopoly on the dyes allowed them to become a powerful economic force.{{book ref|wb|32}}
Following the death of Denth, his crew went to make contact with [[Yesteel]], who resided in one of the kingdoms north of the mountains.{{wob ref|7357}} Yesteel himself became intent on re-forging the kingdoms of [[Huth]] and [[Kuth]]; hearing of this, Vasher and Vivenna decided to go north to stop him.{{wob ref|7357}}{{book ref|wb|epilogue}}
Over many years, their mastery over Awakening and technology advanced significantly, such as creating Awakened circuitry that responds to the Connection of its user to predict text.{{book ref|tress|15}}
== Cosmere ==
The [[Shard]] [[Endowment]] has been confirmed to be present on Nalthis.{{wob ref|5943}} This has had the effect that every human born on Nalthis is born with one [[Breath]], the source of energy for [[Awakening]] and Returning. Endowment is related to the [[tears of Edgli|flowers]] which grow around T'Telir, the capital city of Hallandren.{{wob ref|5515}} Endowment has been known to revive recently deceased people, awarding them a single [[Divine Breath]] under the requirement that they consume a normal Breath once a week to stay alive. It is believed, and confirmed for at least three [[Returned]],{{book ref|wb|57}}{{wob ref|7354}}{{wob ref|7476}} that all Returned come back to fulfill some divine goal. It is unknown what Endowment's purpose is, or how long she has been doing this.
Nalthians are aware of perpendicularities and wish for them to be used for trading purposes.{{book ref|mb7|39}}
Nalthian Awakened technology has spread across the Cosmere to some degree, and can be seen on other planets, such as [[Lumar]].{{book ref|tress|15}} The trading of Breaths are looked down upon by others in the cosmere.{{book ref|tsm|13}}
== Trivia ==
* Nalthians know what [[dragon (cosmere)|dragons]] are.{{wob ref|1346}}
* [[Nazh]] finds Nalthis too
