The '''Nalthian system''' is the name given to the planetary system containing the [[Shardworld]] of [[Nalthis]].

;[[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}}
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.{{file ref|name=starchart}}

== 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 [[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]].{{ref|text=Apart from the name, placing the Shadesmar map on the star chart and rotating it to match the Expanses of [[Expanse of the Densities|Densities]] and [[Expanse of the Vapors|Vapors]] to [[Sel]] and [[Scadrial]] matches Vibrance to Nalthis|group=footnote}} 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}}
