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 and is 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}}
The '''[[UTol system]]''' is located near where the Shard [[Virtuosity]] Splintered herself and home to two habitable planets.{{book ref|yumi|1}}{{book ref|yumi|part=anotherepilogue}} The eponymous planet of '''[[UTol]]''' is a water-dominated planet inhabited by [[Sho Del]], which is seemingly very important.{{book ref|yumi|30}} Its sister planet '''[[Komashi]]''' is home to humans and to [[Splinter]]s of Virtuosity known as [[hijo]];{{book ref|yumi|17}} before the destruction of the [[Father machine]], it was notable for an eternal [[shroud]] of black Investiture covering the planet.{{book ref|yumi|1}}▼

=== Other Notable Worlds ===
'''[[Yolen]]''' is the original planet of humans and the location of the [[Shattering]].{{wob ref|5702}}{{wob ref|11602}} It has few inhabitants in the modern era and has been hidden from most of the people of the cosmere.{{wob ref|6545}}{{msh ref|3|2}}▼
'''[[Threnody]]''' is a planet with two principal parts: the [[Fallen World]], which is under the control of an unknown entity called the [[Evil]] that is so dangerous that everyone left, and the [[Forests of Hell]], which is home to dangerous [[Cognitive Shadow]]s known as [[Shade]]s. Perpendicularities on Threnody are unstable and have a morbid origin.{{au ref|Threnody}}▼
The [[Drominad system]] is home to several planets, all of which have water as a dominant feature. Three of them are inhabited by humans, the most of any planetary system in the cosmere at the time of Khriss writing her essays. The innermost planet, '''[[First of the Sun]]''' has a [[perpendicularity]], though the region around it in the Physical Realm is incredibly dangerous.{{au ref|Drominad}}
'''[[Lumar]]''' is a backwater planet that is home to the [[aether spores]], a compressed form of [[aether]] that grows dangerously fast when touched by water, which are produced by a variant strain of the aethers on the twelve moons that hang close to the surface of the planet.{{wob ref|15428}}{{book ref|tress|28}}{{book ref|tress|31}}
