The '''Southern Depths''' is the ocean to the south of [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Roshar}} It lies off the coast of [[Tukar]], [[Marat]], and [[Thaylenah]]. It is presumably quite deep. It also likely extends to the south pole of the planet.{{map ref|Roshar}} Control of Thaylenah's waters dictates control of the entirety of the Southern Depth,{{book ref|sa3|107}} however, true dominance of the region requires control of Emul and Tukar as well.{{book ref|sa4|19}}
 
   
In 1173, [[Shallan Davar]] and [[Jasnah Kholin]] traveled through the Southern Depths on the ''Wind's Pleasure'' on their way to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|11}}

The '''Southern Depths''' is the body of water to the south of [[Roshar]].{{ref|[[:File:Roshar.jpg|Map of Roshar]]}}
   
 
==Notes==
The strategic importance of Thaylenah led to the [[Voidbringer]] forces attacking Thaylen City near the beginning of the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|24}}{{book ref|sa3|107}} A Thaylen merchant ship tried to scout for Voidbringers in the Southern Depths near Marat and spotted a large number of ships at dock along the coast. The ship relayed the information via [[spanreed]]. Then, figures with glowing eyes--the [[Fused]]--rose from a nearby city, attacking the ship, and the ship was never heard from again.{{book ref|sa3|109}} Shortly thereafter, the Voidbringer forces launched from Marat to Thaylen City, using the [[Everstorm]] to propel them quickly across the Southern Depths, triggering the [[Battle of Thaylen Fields]].{{book ref|sa3|115}}
 
 
The Urithiru coalition gained control of the Southern Depths several months after the Battle at Thaylen Field, after the Thaylen navy won the area and forced the enemy ships to retreat to the coast of Iri.{{book ref|sa4|17}}
