▲Throughout it's history, Roshar has been divided by epochs. Most notable is the Silver Kingdoms Epoch, or the Heraldic Epoch, when the Knights Radiant kept the peace. The Silver Kingdoms are: Iri, Shin Kak Nish, Sela Tales, Aimia, Makabakam, Valhav, Rishir, Alethela, Natanatan, and Thalath.
In the the modern era, the Era of Solitude, the current division of countries and regions in Roshar are: [[Thayenah]], [[Frostlands]], [[Alethkar]], [[Herdaz]], [[Jah Keved]], [[Tu Bayla]], [[Triax]], [[Greater Hexi]], [[Marat]], [[Tukar]], [[Emul]], [[Azir]], [[Yulay]], [[Marabethia]], [[Babatharnam]], [[Desh]], [[Yezier]], [[Alm]], [[Tashikk]], [[Liafor]], [[Steen]], [[Aimia]], [[Shinovar]], [[Iri]], and [[Rira]].
==Calendar==
The Rosharan calendar is divided up into ten months, with ten weeks each. Both the months and the weeks are named after the numbers on the [[Ars Arcanum]], and are sometimes combined into abbreviations. Such abbreviations have the full name of the month and two suffixes, for week and day. Each week is five days, so the year in Roshar is estimated at around 500 days, though there may be more or less with the addition of inconsistencies and holidays outside the regular calendar.

===The Weeping===
In Roshar, seasons change unpredictably, lasting only a few weeks before changing to something else. [[The Weeping]], however, is consistent. It marks the end of an old year, and the coming of a new one, with four weeks of constant rain. There are no
==Environment==
Because of the mountain range that cuts [[Shinovar]] off from the rest of Roshar, the country has a unique environment. Shinovar is the only place on Roshar that does not get hit by highstorms, and therefore, it is the only place that has soil. The Shin are able to grow food and raise animals that are more familiar to Earth, such as strawberries and horses.
===
Roshar has several notable heavenly bodies, such as the moons. The first moon is [[Salas]]. It is violet, and is the smallest moon. The middle moon is [[Nomon]], which is a bright, pale blue. And the final moon is [[Mishim]], which is small and green.
There is also [[Naln's Scar]], which is a great swath of red stars that stand out against the white ones.
