“We were the first who died on Canticle. The first to live in this land and devise the designs of flight—based on the ships that brought us here. But then we died and rose as shades. Remembering. ”

—A member of the chorus relates the history of Canticle

Canticle is a planet in the cosmere. It is primarily populated with a group of Threnodites that fled the squabbling caused by the Evil on their homeworld to take up residence elsewhere, led by a preacher named Zellion. The planet is constantly barraged with intense sunlight which causes the land and atmosphere to heat to such levels that it burns and melts anything left within it, forcing inhabitants to constantly be on the move in large, mobile cities.^{[citation needed]}

No shard resides in the system.

Trivia

• Canticle is a word for a hymn or a chant.
