The '''Horneater Peaks''' are a mountain range in [[Jah Keved]] on [[Roshar]]. The [[Unkalaki]] civilization lives around large lakes on the peaks called [[Horneater Oceans|Oceans]]. Each peak has one ''Ocean''. They provide warmth so that the peaks have habitable temperature'stemperatures, while the area surrounding the peaks areconsists of frozen wastelands.
 
These lakes are described by [[Sigzil]] as ordinary hot springsprings of sorts:

[[Rock]], on the other hand, ascribes them mystical attributes. He says that under the normal water is ''Water of life''. He says that the Oceans are connected to the Gods and that Horneaters who swim in the Oceans can sometimes see the Place of the Gods (most likely the [[Shadesmar]]). He says swimming in the Oceans is lethal to outsiders, while Sigzil claims that the Horneaters just kill every outsider who attempts to do it.
 
Another name that Sigzil uses for the lakes is ''emerald pools''.
 
The Horneater lakes are Cultivation's Perpendicularity, the only known Perpendicularity on Roshar.
 
Sanderson has confirmed that the [[Devotion's Perpendicularity|Elantrian pool]] and the Horneater lakes are the same thing.{{wob ref|1358}}
 
 
== History ==
 
The Horneater Peaks were occupied by some of the [[Fused]] at some point after the summoning from the Everstorm but before the occupation of Kholinar. This blocked all reliable means of travel into [[Shadesmar]] other than those via Surgebinding.
