Synopsis

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them.

  • nelliekenattahochinke Please note that the Alethi are described as having tan skin and dark coarse hair and eyes that have the epicanthic fold. This means that they look closest to South East Asians in out world. Brandon Sanderson himself confirmed that the Alethi would most closely resemble Asians in this world. Please cast them accordingly. Representation matters.
