(→‎Other Notable Worlds: Corrected an incorrect planet order, the alphabet does not have Y before D.)

The [[Rosharan system]] consists of three planets of note.

'''[[Sel]]''', also known as '''Seol''', is a large planet with three great domains.{{au ref|Sel}} It has many magic systems, which are tied to the user's location and are accessed by creating shapes in the proper form, rather like programming.{{wob ref|1768}} It orbits a single star named Mashe.
 
The planet '''[[Taldain]]''' is tidally locked between two stars, a blue-white supergiant named AisDa, and a white dwarf named the Eye of Ridos. The side of the planet facing the former, [[Dayside]], is a vast desert where Investiture arrives from the light of the star. [[Darkside]] faces the white dwarf, andleaving isit in perpetual twilight, and; many things there fluoresce in ultraviolet light. Its [[Shard]], [[Autonomy]], keeps the planet isolated from the rest of the cosmere.{{au ref|Taldain}}
