The Sea of Lost Lights lies in the region of Shadesmar corresponding to the [[Physical Realm|Physical]] nations of [[Alethkar]], [[Jah Keved]] and [[Herdaz]], as well as [[Frostlands]] and [[Unclaimed Hills]].{{map ref|Roshar}} To the west, if flows into the [[Sea of Souls]]; to the east, it reaches the shores of the [[Expanse of the Broken Sky]] and [[Expanse of the Vapors]].{{map ref|Shadesmar}} ItTo hasthe numeroussouth, narrowa stripsstretch of land crossingseparates it, correspondingfrom to[[Thaylen Physical riversSea]], andthe severalCognitive smallrepresentation islands - lakes, inof the Physicalisland of Realm[[Thaylenah]].{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}}
 
The Sea of Lost Lights has numerous narow strips of land, corresponding to Physical rivers, and several small islands, equivalent to lakes.{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}} The land is made from a material akin to dark glass or obsidian.{{book ref|sa3|89}} There are scant few plants growing, but the population of non-sapient spren is fairly sizeable.{{book ref|sa3|97}} The strips of land are known as channels, and most of the notable ones correspond to [[Deathbend River]] and its tributaries.{{map ref|Alethkar}} They are:

==History==
At some point in recent past, [[honorspren]] attempted to conquer all of Shadesmar, including Sea of Lost Lights. The attempt left them with poor opinion among other sapient [[spren]].{{book ref|sa3|47}} For this reason, they are rare in places like [[Celebrant]], although their warships still sail there.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
 
At the beginning of [[True Desolation]], many cities in the Sea of Lost Lights were taken over by the [[Fused]], although they ruled rather lightly, save for occassionally setting things on fire.{{book ref|sa3|102}}
[[Shallan]], [[Vivenna|Azure]], [[Adolin]], and [[Kaladin]] get trapped in the Sea of Lost Lights after they attempt to use the [[Oathgate]] in [[Kholinar]].{{cite}} Azure seems very knowledgeable about the place and says the way to get back to the Physical Realm is through [[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] at the [[Horneater Peaks]].{{cite}} The rivers in the Physical Realm become peninsulas here made of an obsidian-like material. There are plants growing on this, and [[Syl]] says they grow just like normal plants. They travel along the peninsula to a lighthouse at its end. Inside this lighthouse is a man, [[Riino]], who Kaladin thinks is Shin, but is likely from Sel as he references the [[Korathi]] god. He claims that his orb can see the future. Kaladin looks in this orb and feels strongly that he needs to go to [[Thaylen City]] and thinks that [[Dalinar]] is in grave danger.{{cite}}
 
After attempting to use the [[Kholinar]] [[Oathgate]], [[Shallan]], [[Kaladin]], their spren, as well as [[Adolin]] and [[Azure]], got trapped in the Sea of Lost Lights.{{book ref|sa3|89}} They travelled to [[Riino]]'s lighthouse, where they managed to find a passage to [[Celebrant]] by a ship crewed by [[Reacher]]s and pulled by [[Mandra]]s.{{book ref|sa3|99}} There, they were chased by the Fused and ended up taking refuge on a honorspren ship ''[[Honor's Path]]'', which eventually ferried them to the shore, to the narrow peninsula separating it from [[Thaylen Sea]].{{book ref|sa3|102}}{{book ref|sa3|110}}
They get a ride on a boat sailed by lightspren, or [[Reacher]]s. The boats are pulled by [[Mandras]], which have heads the look like [[Spren|Luckspren]]. The Reachers have [[fabrial]]s that can create water. They are sailing to [[Celebrant]], a city on an island that is the [[Sea of Spears]] in the Physical Realm. The captain says that they have perfect spheres there that never run out of [[Stormlight]].{{cite}}
