'''Longbrow's Straits'''
The straits are lined by tall, sleek lighthouses for navigation.{{book ref|sa3|i|1}} Various creatures live in the water, including [[santhid]]yn, [[khornak]]s, [[redwater]]s, and schools of small fish.{{book ref|sa2|1}} The straits become narrow near [[Klna City]], but in some areas they are wide enough that it can be difficult to see land.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
==History==
In {{Rosharan date|1173}}, the ''[[Wind's Pleasure]]'' traveled the straits, taking [[Shallan]] and [[Jasnah]] on their journey from [[Kharbranth]] to the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|1}} The seas were relatively calm at the time, but [[Tozbek]] implied that sailing the straits could sometimes be difficult.{{book ref|sa2|1}} Shallan noted the dark appearance of the distant Frostlands and the cliffs visible on Thaylenah. She sighted a rare santhid and ordered the crew to lower her into the water so that she could sketch it.{{book ref|sa2|1}}
===In Shadesmar===
Longbrow's Straits corresponds to a landmass in the Rosharan [[subastral]] ([[Shadesmar]]). It is located at the south end of the [[Sea of Lost Lights]] and it borders the [[Glasswater Deep]] and the [[Luminous Shallows]].{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}} It contains the [[Cognitive Realm]] version of [[Thaylen City]] and a small lake that is hated by [[Nazh]].{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}}
When [[Kaladin]] and his companions were trapped in Shadesmar in {{Rosharan date|1174}}, Kaladin realized that the ''[[Honor's Path]]'' would sail relatively close to Longbrow's Straits, and he hoped to reach the landmass there to try and seek out the [[Oathgate]] in Thaylen City.{{book ref|sa3|108}} They eventually sighted Longbrow's Straits, and Kaladin flew the party onto the land, which contained a strange, empty glass forest.{{book ref|sa3|110}}{{book ref|sa3|112}} After a long journey through the forest, they reached Thaylen City, where the Oathgate was guarded by thousands of enemy [[spren]].{{book ref|sa3|112}}
