The Honor Chasm is a chasm in the Shattered Plains that is located a short distance from Highprince Sadeas' camp.

This is the only place outside of the camp that bridgemen are allowed to go unsupervised. This chasm is where bridgemen go to end their lives. The Way of Kings mentions the chasm on page 159 of the hardback edition, "The Honor Chasm, the bridgemen called it, for it was the place where they could make the one decision left to them. The 'honorable' decision. Death."

Kaladin makes a trip to the chasm at one point, meaning to jump from it, but is distracted by the return of Syl and ends up returning to the camp with renewed purpose.
