'''Taldain''' is a planet
Taldain is a tidally locked planet, with one side experiencing perpetual day and the other locked in endless night.
Taldain is a tidally locked planet, with one side experiencing perpetual day and the other locked in endless night. Some of the inhabitants of the Dayside can animate sand and make it attack and defend as needed, and the Darksiders have their own unique abilities and must wear dark lenses when visiting the Dayside. Darkside is illuminated primarily by UV light, the flora having adapted to utilize this section of the electromagnetic spectrum. This causes Darksiders to have illuminated teeth, eyes, and nails. It also accounts for why Darksiders have dark skin when they don't live in a traditional climate for high melanin content.▼
Taldain is currently inaccessible.{{17s ref|53759|post|452070|text=Taldain [is] inaccessible currently in the Cosmere.|date=15 June, 2016}}
== Dayside ==
The Dayside has one roughly circular landmass, surrounded on all sides by ocean. There are six nations on the Dayside of Taldain; [[Kerzta]], [[Lossand]], [[Denka]], [[Seevis]], [[Nor'Tallon]] and [[Tallon]]. There is a mountain range on the eastern side of the landmass, which runs through Nor'Tallon and borders Seevis and Tallon. A mountain named [[KraeDa]] lies at the center of Dayside.{{book ref|ws1|5}}
Much of Dayside is covered in sand and rock. Fauna such as Sandlings and other sand animals inhabit the areas known as the deep sands. [[Tonk]]s are a type of domesticated animal on Dayside, used as mounts. The [[Dorim]] vine is a plant used as a water source on Dayside, and areas where they grow are not considered to be desert.
Some of the inhabitants of the Dayside, known as [[Sand masters]], can animate sand and make it attack and defend as needed.
Many Daysiders feel a spiritual bond with their sun, and some, such as the Kerztians, worship it.{{book ref|ws1|65}}
