'''Cultivation's Perpendicularity''' |
'''Cultivation's Perpendicularity''' is the only known stable [[perpendicularity]] on [[Roshar]]. Like all perpendicularities, Cultivation's Perpendicularity allows for travel between [[Roshar]]'s [[Physical Realm]] and [[Shadesmar]]. Although it is possible to enter Roshar through other means, they are known to be highly unstable; as such, this appears to be the main method by which [[worldhopper]]s arrive at the planet.{{book ref|sa3|93}} |

Cultivation's Perpendicularity is located in the [[Horneater Peaks]] on Roshar. It is either one or all of the [[Horneater Oceans]], warm bodies of water that allow people to live there despite the high altitude. It's filled with ordinary water at the top; however, beneath this layer, it appears to be made of something else, likely the liquid [[Investiture]] of the [[Shard]] [[Cultivation]].{{book ref|sa2|46}} It's possible that living near Cultivation's Perpendicularity can affect people, as among the [[Unkalaki]]--the Horneaters--there are people |

Both [[Wit]] and [[Azure]] used this perpendicularity when arriving on [[Roshar]]. The former passed through while [[Rock]] was still at the Peaks, while the latter likely uses it some time later, chasing a "criminal", presumably [[Zahel]].{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{book ref|sa3|93}} |

During the [[True Desolation]], the perpendicularity was assaulted through Shadesmar by the [[Voidbringers]], who took control, and blockade, it to control travel, as they believed it would help secure them a foothold in the realm so they could begin to build their own empire.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Though it seemed that the Voidbringer presence in the region was limited to the [[Cognitive Realm]], it still had some sort of impact on the inhabitants of the Peaks.{{book ref|sa3|37}} |
