A World of Storms
Roshar is a harsh, stony world shaped by massive hurricanes called highstorms. Native plants and animals have adapted in exotic ways. Roshar’s people, the singers, grow carapace armor and can adopt diverse forms to specialize in different tasks like hunting, scholarship, or battle.
A World of War
Roshar is defined by an ancient conflict between godlike beings called Shards: Honor, Cultivation, and Odium. Over millennia, their influence has led to cyclical wars between the nations and peoples of Roshar.
Spren and Stormlight
Magic infuses Roshar. Spirit-like beings called spren are a ubiquitous sight, drawn to emotions and natural phenomena. When highstorms sweep across the megacontinent, they infuse gemstones with Stormlight, which can power Shardblades, Shardplate, and ingenious fabrial devices.
Ideals and Bonds
In ages past, brave Knights swore Ideals and formed bonds with Radiant spren, gaining access to the power of Surgebinding. The Knights Radiant vanished into infamy, but the has come again to speak the ancient oaths.
