The '''Shattered Plains''' are a located on the border of the [[Frostlands]] and [[Unclaimed Hills]] formerly part of the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Natanatan]].{{map ref|Alethkar}}{{book ref|sa1|19}} They are aptly named, as the terrain of the Plains consists of huge numbers of plateaus of various sizes, surrounded on all sides by deep chasms. It is unknown what caused the landscape to form this way, but during [[Kaladin]]'s dream he saw the entire area as a symmetrical pattern, radiating outwards from the centre as if something massive had struck there.{{book ref|sa1|46}}
== Topography ==
It is noted that Highstorms are particularly bad on the Shattered Plains, as there is no shelter on top of the plateaus, and the chasms often flood. This, added to the Plains being eastern, where the Highstorms are strongest, is the reason the Plains are not the optimal place to experience a Highstorm outdoors.
Some accounts describe the plains as looking as if something enormous had struck the center causing the plains fracturing to radiate somewhat symmetrically in all directions.
== Inhabitants ==
The only known permanent inhabitants of the Shattered Plains are the [[Parshendi]].
