The Nalthian system is the name given to the planetary system containing the Shardworld of Nalthis. In addition to Nalthis, it includes one gas giant, one outer planet, a comet belt, and a cognitive anomaly manifesting in the Physical Realm.[1]
Planets
Nalthis is the only planet in the system known to be inhabited -- it has a large human population and a Shard, Endowment.[2] Humans on Nalthis differ from those elsewhere in the cosmere in that they are born with Breath, Endowment's Investiture. Breath provides a number of passive benefits, as well as fuel for the local magic system, Awakening.[3]
Nalthis has one moon, Rrendos. It also shares its orbit with an unspecified cognitive anomaly, although it's unknown whether it passes through it once a year, or if the anomaly follows the planet's movements.[1]
- Farkeeper the Bright
A red gas giant, and the largest planet in the Nalthian system. It has at least six moons orbiting it.[1]
- Nightstar the Hidden
A small, violet outer planet, located at a considerable distance from Farkeeper. A comet belt lies beyond Nightstar, marking the system's edge.[1]
Astronomy
The Nalthian sun is a yellow star, similar to those of Scadrial and Sel. The system is located in the "Awakener" constellation. Its closest stellar neighbor is the Selish system, with Greater Roshar a bit further away.[4]

The local name of Nalthis' subastral is unknown. It's been speculated that it corresponds to what Rosharans name the Expanse of Vibrance, in which case it would directly neighbor Shadesmar.[footnote 1] There are, in fact, regular caravans travelling between the two subastrals, carrying both goods and people.[5] The Nalthian system is extremely popular with worldhoppers, to the point of there being a customs check in the vicinity of the local perpendicularity.[6] This sole perpendicularity is located on Nalthis, in the jungles of the nation of Hallandren.[7]
