Shinovar has a vastly different ecology from the rest of the planet, as the flora and fauna there have not the need of adapting to survival in the highstorms. The plant life is described by those from the east as "slow" or "sluggish" compared to the rest of Roshar.{{book ref|sa1|i|4}}{{expand}}
Buildings made of clay and earth seem to be common in Shinovar, as they remind [[Szeth]] of his home in the [[Valley of Truth]]. This is motivated by the Shin's beliefs that stone is sacred and cannot be used as a building material.{{book ref|sa1|i|6}} The weakened highstorms likely make this form of building viable when it would not be in other parts of Roshar. Shinovar contains an [[oathgate]] somewhere inside the country, though its exact location is not known.{{file ref|Oathgate Locations.jpg|Oathgate Locations}}
