The '''Radiant Depths''' is a body of water in the [[Sea of Souls]], part of the [[Shadesmar|Rosharan subastral]] of the [[Cognitive Realm]]. It is south of [[Nohadon's Stairways|Urithiru]], and is likely named after the [[Knights Radiant]]. It is east of a peninsula where the lighthouse [[Abiding Light]] is located, and north of [[Nameless]].{{map ref|Sea of Souls}}

In their expedition to [[Lasting Integrity]], [[Shallan]] and [[Adolin]] travel through the Radiant Depths to get to Nameless.{{cite}}
== Geography and Geology ==
 
The trench lies in the southern Sea of Souls. It runs roughly from [[Urithiru|Nohadon's Stairways]] at its north end to [[Nameless]] in the south. A long peninsula runs parallel to the southern half of the trench; the lighthouse [[Abiding Light]] is located on the peninsula.{{map ref|Sea of Souls}} The total size of the Radiant Depths is unclear due to a lack of detailed maps of Shadesmar, but the [[Physical Realm]] locations that appear to correspond to the trench are western [[Marat]] and the southern [[mountains of Ur]].{{map ref|Shadesmar}}{{map ref|Roshar}}
 
   
The Radiant Depths is referred to as a "great trench" by resident [[spren]]. Local sailors are well aware of the trench, and seem to prefer navigating the shallows that lie along its western edge.{{book ref|sa4|26}}
+
The Radiant Depths correspond at least to [[Marat]] in the [[Physical Realm]], and possibly other nations to the east.{{map ref|Roshar}}
 
== History ==
 
During the emissary mission from [[Urithiru]] to [[Lasting Integrity]], [[Shallan]] and [[Adolin]]'s team traveled from Nohadon's Stairways to Nameless by sailing the shallows adjacent to the Radiant Depths. The [[peakspren]] sailors that accompanied them had special tools to measure the depth of the bead ocean.{{book ref|sa4|26}}{{map ref|Sea of Souls}}
