The edge of the Plains consists of smaller plateaus with chasms ranging generally from 50 to 150 feet in depth. These westernmost plateaus can be bridged easily, and many permanent bridges have been constructed joining them together. Moving eastward, the Plains become much more varied in size and the chasms themselves can become much wider, making crossing from one to another much more challenging.{{book ref|sa1|12}} The eastern edge of the Shattered Plains is so weathered by storms that it consists mostly of spindly pillars of rock, making it impassable.{{book ref|sa1|15}}{{book ref|sa1|43}}

 

On the eastern side of the explored portion of the Plains is a particularly large plateau known as "the Tower". The Tower is a favored location for [[chasmfiend]]s to pupate.{{book ref|sa1|24}}

== Trivia ==

* The Shattered Plains was originally envisioned as existing on the world of [[Yolen]], [[Hoid]]'s homeworld and the site of the [[Shattering of Adonalsium]], until Brandon moved it to Roshar in the redrafting of the Way of Kings.{{wob ref|8601}}
