[[Cultivation's Perpendicularity]] is located in the [[Horneater Peaks]], and forms either one or all of the [[Horneater Oceans]], the giant lakes at the top of the mountains. Until the [[True Desolation]], where it was overtaken by the [[Fused]], it was the main way for [[worldhopper]]s to travel to and from Roshar.{{book ref|sa3|93}}{{book ref|sa3|102}}
Cultivation appears to have the ability to kill or at least seriously wound [[Odium]], as he refrained from killing [[Stormfather]] out of fear of what she could do to him.{{book ref|sa3|111}}

Unlike with all other boons and banes, Dalinar's memories gradually returned after the arrival of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|24}} This was deliberately engineered by Cultivation to give him time to come to terms with his past before [[Odium]] would try to use it to turn Dalinar into his champion.{{book ref|sa3|121}}

Cultivation has been honored on [[Roshar]] for a long time, at least since the era of the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa3|29}} In the present day, however, her worship is limited to the western part of the continent, where she is considered an embodiment of nature and nature [[spren]].{{book ref|sa2|3}} There, she is sometimes referred to as '''Mother of the World'''.{{book ref|sa2.5|15}} Even in the east, people sometimes make references to Mother Cultivation, though typically as a joke.{{book ref|sa3|21}} In [[Vorinism]], belief in her and her cohorts, such as the [[Nightwatcher]], is considered pagan superstition and usually dismissed.{{book ref|sa3|114}}{{book ref|sa3|29}}
Cultivation is also highly revered by [[cultivationspren]]. Though the precise relation between them and her is unclear, they often call her Mother or Blessed Mother, and only sometimes by her proper name.{{book ref|sa3|118}}{{book ref|sa2.5|4}}{{book ref|sa2.5|13}} "Mother's vines" appears to be a particular curse related to Cultivation.{{book ref|sa2.5|11}}
