A map of the [[Shattered Plains]]. The [[Tower (Roshar)|Tower]] can be seen on the lower right, as the largest plateau in the area. The [[Alethi]] warcamps are in the upper left.

|alt=A very large, detailed map the Altethi have made of the Shattered Plains. This is a top down-view of the Shattered Plains. We see ten small craters on the left, which are the Alethi warcamps. The rest of the image is hundreds and hundreds of plateaus separated by chams. It looks like a piece of broken glass, jagged and with no apparent symmetry. If the purpose of this image is to make the viewer feel like the Shattered Plains are a maze that is way too complex to ever properly map, it succeeds in that. The further on the right of the map we go, which is east, towards the storms, the wider the chasms are. Near the warcamps you could go from one plateau to any of its neighbours, but that's not the case further east. Only a few plateaus connect directly to the Tower, others are way too far to bridge.
