The '''Ocean of Origins''' is a body of water east of [[Roshar]], towards the [[Origin]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
The shores of the Ocean of Origins are sparsely populated, with the cities of [[New Natanan]] and [[Dawn's Shadow]] being the only notable settlements.{{map ref|Roshar}} This is likely because [[highstorm]]s make landfall there, and as such hit that coast with the greatest force.{{book ref|sa1|16}} To the East, the Ocean of Origins presumably connects to the [[Endless Ocean]] on the opposite side of the planet, while from North and South, it's bracketed by [[Steamwater Ocean]] and [[Southern Depths]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
The [[Origin|Origin of Storms]], where the highstorms originate, lies at the far end of the Ocean of Origins. There are multiple legends talking about there being an inhabited island there, populated by people called [[Uvara]] in some versions of the story.{{book ref|sa1|57}} The version told in New Natanan says that they are sailors who were lost while travelling the Ocean of Origins and that one day, they will come back to reclaim [[Natanatan]].{{book ref|sa3|i|1}}
== History ==
[[Dalinar]] sailed across the Ocean of Origins when taking his forces to the conflict that would become the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa3|105}} Several years later, [[Shallan]] and [[Jasnah]] plan to sail through it all the way to [[New Natanan]], but their ship is destroyed before reaching it.{{book ref|sa2|6}} After the arrival of the [[Everstorm]], it and the [[highstorm]]s often clash over either Ocean of Origins or [[Endless Ocean]].{{book ref|sa3|37}}
