| ... a place with a black sky and a strange, small white sun that hung on the horizon ... Flames hovered nearby ... Like the tips of candles floating in the air and moving with the wind ... An endless dark sea, except it wasn't wet. It was made of the small beads, an entire ocean of tiny glass spheres

Geographically, Roshar in the [[Cognitive Realm]] appears like an inversion of the continent in the Physical Realm, with its inland seas corresponding exactly to the shape of the land of Roshar. The "seas" are made of tiny dark glass beads that represent objects that exist in the Physical Realm. These beads are bean-sized, or slightly larger than a fingernail.{{wob ref|8533}} There are spren that look like "little green and orange people, only a few inches tall" climbing around the spheres.{{book ref|sa3|89}} When asked if this is the general rule, Sanderson said "there are places in Shadesmar that are different, and some are the same."{{wob ref|7200}}
