[Redacted]
The third planet of Greater Roshar, unnamed at this time, is cold, windswept, and desolate, possessed only of a thin atmosphere generally unsuitable for extended habitation. No known species exist on this planet.
Its metallic core is composed of an unknown metal which attracts Investiture, promoting unusual Invested effects in [Redacted]’s crust.
Dark world of stormy sky, flashing red.
Out of the cracks seeps shadows and red things, Midnight Essence and Thunderclasts.

Invested Entities and Phenomena
There are, currently, two known types of Invested Entities known to inhabit the wastes of [Redacted].
Thunderclasts
Angry red spren which exist in a constant flux between the Cognitive and Physical, like fire constantly burning out in the air. Screeching with flames stoking as they spot something living to destroy. In whatever Realm they happen to be in, they dive into solid rock or obsidian, and tear out a large, animalistic body to wield as a weapon.
The shapes they take are a grotesque mix between the greatshells of Roshar and the beast fauna of Alaswha, every part sharpened to deadly points to use with reckless abandon. It is no large loss for a body to be destroyed, as most are not able to capitalize and destroy the spren.
Midnight Essence
Horrid, formless creatures of pitch darkness. A result of Identity massing in formless Investiture, leaking out of [Redacted]’s core.
Very often hostile.
Invested Arts
[Redacted] Surgebinding
[Redacted] is still unknown to most, and thus the following table is incorrect in its classification. Not Anomalous/Innate, but [Redacted].
|
ACQUISITION/Surge |
ANOMALOUS/INNATE |
|
Adhesion |
Manipulation of Connection, between self and others. Can suppress attributes in the souls of others, and form artificial Nahel bonds which might transfer Surges to others. Investiture intensive. |
|
Gravitation |
Overwriting gravity of the self, and area centered around self in intense Pushes and Pulls. |
|
Division |
Self rapidly immolates foreign material on contact. The lightest of swipes pass through stones like air. |
|
Abrasion |
Self becomes slick, or capable of scaling the most extreme inclines. Produces friction increase/decrease aura. |
|
Progression |
Speeds healing. Promotes temporarily bursts of muscle and bone growth, to grotesque degrees. |
|
Illumination |
Enables perception of past and future of themselves and those nearby, and events which occurred in the immediate vicinity. |
|
Transformation |
Produces an aura of Rhythms, causing Cognitive effects on those around them. Rioting, Soothing effects, akin to the Thrill or the Heart of the Revel. |
|
Transportation |
Enters a state of highly enhanced perception and mobility, speed of thought. |
|
Cohesion |
Movement through inorganic material, able to ‘swim’ or otherwise pass through with minimal effort. |
|
Tension |
Greatly enhances physical durability and strength. Or flexibility and limberness. Releases tension of the body to perform feats of strength or acrobatics. |
These Surgebinders produce an effect from their souls, often with a more concentrated level of power or efficiency over other creeds of Surgebinder.
Most Anomalous Surgebinders are found on Alaswha, for unknown reasons. Gaining their abilities seemingly at random, yet more often to be found in people in positions of power.
On Roshar, a similar phenomenon occurs. The ordinary passing of a highstorm might leave some with more power than others, at a much lower rate than Alaswha.
