“At these points, Physical matter, Cognitive thought, and Spiritual essence become one--and a being can slide between Realms. ”
A Perpendicularity is a stable junction between the Physical realm and Cognitive Realm. They are used by worldhoppers such as Hoid to go from planet to planet. They are formed through the concentration of Investiture in the Physical and Cognitive Realms. Because of this, they are most commonly found at places where a Shard's power is focused, often in the form of a pool of liquid.
Known Perpendicularities
- Scadrial
- The pool below the Pits of Hathsin was the main perpendicularity before it was destroyed by Kelsier. The other known perpendicularity, the Well of Ascension, was extremely dangerous during Ruin's imprisonment.[2]
- Sel
- The Pool is currently the only known perpendicularity on Sel.
- Threnody
- Perpendicularities on Threnody are unstable, unpredictable, and have a morbid origin.[3] They may possibly have something to do with the creation of Shades.
- First of the Sun
- First of the Sun is notable for being a minor shardworld with a perpendicularity.[1] It is, presumably, Patji's Eye.
- Roshar
- It is speculated that the Origin of the highstorms to the east may be a perpendicularity. A pool in the Horneater Peaks is confirmed to be a perpendicularity, by Azure when she Shallan, Adolin, and Kaladin get trapped in Shadesmar. Azure also mentions an unstable perpendicularity that is very dangerous. Dalinar creates a perpendicularity when he denies Odium and unites the realms.
