'''Cultivation's Perpendicularity''' is the only known stable [[perpendicularity]] on [[Roshar]]. Like all perpendicularities, Cultivation's Perpendicularity allows for travel between [[Roshar]]'s [[Physical Realm]] and [[Shadesmar]]. Although it is possible to enter Roshar through other means, they are known to be highly unstable; as such, this appears to be the main method by which [[worldhopper]]s arrive at the planet.{{book ref|sa3|93}}

== History ==
[[Rock]]Sometimes mentionswhile thatswimming hisin peoplethe canOceans, sometimesthe Horneaters would visit the "place of the gods" when swimming in the Oceans, implying that the [[Unkalaki]] willwould sometimes travel through the perpendicularity, albeit briefly.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
 
Both [[Wit]] and [[Azure]] useused this perpendicularity when arriving on [[Roshar]]. The former comespassed through while [[Rock]] iswas still inat the Peaks, while the latter likely uses it some time later, chasing a "criminal", (presumably [[Zahel]]).{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{book ref|sa3|93}}▼
 
During the [[True Desolation]], the perpendicularity was assaulted through Shadesmar by the [[Voidbringers]], who took control, and blockade, it to control travel, as they believed it would help secure them a foothold in the realm so they could begin to build their own empire.{{book ref|sa3|108}} Though it seemed that the Voidbringer presence in the region was limited to the [[Cognitive Realm]], it still had some sort of impact on the inhabitants of the Peaks.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
