|We are Iriali, and part of the Long Trail, of which this is the Fourth Land. … Eventually, all will be gathered back in—when the Seventh Land is attained—and we will once again become One.
By the time of the [[Era of Solitude]], the eastern portion of Iri has split off to form the kingdom of [[Rira (country)|Rira]].{{map ref|Roshar}} Iri continued to claim Rira as a vassal, but that claim was disputed.{{book ref|sa3|16}}

The philosophy behind the One is that the [[Spiritual Realm]] and the [[Beyond]] are the same thing. When a person dies, their soul rejoins the [[Investiture]] of the Spiritual Realm. Most [[cosmere]] philosophers disagree with this belief.{{wob ref|1729}}
