A few years ago, Brandon released this map of Roshar's Shadesmare Each of the expanses are planet that you can walk to in Shadesmare, the Expanse of the Vapors is confirmed to be Scadrial and the Expanse of the Density us confirmed to be Sel; the Expanse hidden before the "Shadesmar" text is known as the Expanse of Vibrance and is nearly confirmed to be Nalthis. Until RoW we didn't have any clue on what planet could be the Expanse of the Broken Sky nor why it could be called that way, Scadrial is called the Expanse of the Vapours because its Shadesmare is misty, Sel is called the Expanse of Density because it's Shadesmare is made of blazing plasma and with Nalthis' emphasis on coulour its Shadesmare is bound to be colourful, what could make the sky of a planet's Shadesmare broken? You've probably already realized where I was going with all that: I think the Expanse of the Broken Sky is Threnody, and the reason it's called that way is that the wound in the Spiritual Realm Harmony talked about is visible from Shadesmare.
