Braize is a cold, barren, and inhospitable world, perhapsthat outsideis offarther out from the sun's habitablethan zone,Roshar. as a result itIt contains no life on its surface.{{book ref|sa4|89}} ItInstead containsthe noplanet vegetationis orfull nativeof lifenothing onmore itsthan surface,a howeverbroken itrocky doeslandscape havefull anof atmospherecrags dueand tochasms thewith factno itsources hasof windlight andavailable, theeven the surfacesky is knowndescribed toas notbeing bedark aat vacuumall times.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{book ref|sa4|89}} HoweverDuring [[Kaladin]]'s vision of the planet he experiences strong winds as well as flashes of light, potentially lightning strikes, but it is homeunclear how much of this was accurate and how much was added by Odium to frighten him.{{book ref|sa4|80}} The planet does contain an ecosystematmosphere, albeit a weak one.{{book ref|sa4|80}}{{book ref|sa4|89}} Due to the extreme nature of its landscape the only life on the planet is that of self-aware [[spren]], as well as the [[Fused]].{{au ref|Roshar}}{{book ref|sa4|89}} OnlyDespite this however only Odium's spren are welcomed there as well as his allies; for those not aligned with him, visiting is both difficult and dangerous.{{wob ref|2577}}{{au ref|Roshar}} One such danger that [[Raboniel]] spoke of while discouraging [[Navani]] of ever visiting was that of a "storm" that apparently surrounds the planet in [[Shadesmar]], it is unclear however what she meant by this.{{book ref|sa4|89}}

It was during the initial clashes between [[Honor]] and [[Odium]] on its closest neighbour, [[Roshar]], that its first inhabitants would arrive to Braize. As part of an effort to halt Odium, Honor deliberately bound him to the planet in order to stop his conquest of the [[Cosmere]].{{wob ref|8560}}{{book ref|sa3|38}}{{book ref|sa4|14}} As part of this the [[Oathpact]] was formed which also bound the [[Herald|Heralds]] and [[Fused]] to the planet. As per the pact so long as the Heralds did not choose to leave the planet the Fused would also be unable to escape, however, once howevereven a thesingle HeraldsHerald broke and chose to return to Roshar the Fused would follow suit causing a [[Desolation]] on Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|38}}{{book ref|sa4|14}} After many years of torture the Heralds began losing their sanity and decided to abandon the Oathpact at the [[Last Desolation]] leaving only [[Taln]] behind.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} This exile from Roshar lasted 4500 years{{wob ref|14215}} before the [[True Desolation]] began allowing the Fused to permanently live on Roshar.

Braize primarily served as a prison planet for the Fused and holds no inhabitants besides them,{{wob ref|660}} {{au ref|roshar}} this makes it the third of the three planets in the Rosharan system to hold sentient life.{{wob ref|7948}} The only type of [[spren]] that are welcomed on world is Odiumare sprenVoidspren.{{wob ref|2577}} Because of its inhabitants and the presence of Odium the world is considered unsafe by outsiders.{{au ref|roshar}} Despite the native population being bound on Braize they can still influence Roshar and [[Ashyn]] due to their proximity and the way [[connectionConnection]] and [[identityIdentity]] works between the three worlds.{{wob ref|1043}} {{wob ref|14144}}

Unlike the rest of [[Rosharan system]], Braize is based around the number nine rather than ten.{{wob ref|2745}} Like all other planets in the cosmere, it has a representation in [[Shadesmar]], although its name and nature areis unknown.{{wob ref|2576}}
