;[[Nalthis]]
Nalthis is the only planet in the system known to be inhabited -- it has a large human population and a [[Shard]], [[Endowment]].{{wob ref|5943}} 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]].{{book ref|wb|part=ars}}

The Nalthian sun is a yellow star, similar to those of [[Scadrial]] and [[Sel]]. The system is located in the "Awakener" constellation. Its closest known stellar neighbor is the [[Selish system]], with [[Rosharan system|Greater Roshar]] a bit further away.{{file ref|Cosmere constellation map.jpg|Star chart of the cosmere}}
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]]. There are, in fact, regular caravans travelling between the two subastrals, carrying both goods and people.{{wob ref|11992}} The Nalthian system is extremely popular with [[worldhoppers]], to the point of there being a customs check in the vicinity of the local [[perpendicularity]].{{wob ref|9501}} This sole perpendicularity is located on Nalthis, in the jungles of the nation of [[Hallandren]].{{wob ref|9833}}
