Most of the planets Investiture is found on Dayside.{{wob ref|1509}} Much of Dayside is covered in [[Sand (Taldain)|sand]] and rock, the sand itself being covered by lichen. This lichen is where the sand's striking white color comes from as well as the reason it changes from white to black in the process of sand mastery and other forms of investiture.{{book ref|ws2|5}}
 
'''Dayside''' is home to one large circular landmass that is surrounded by ocean on all sides. On this landmass there are six nations; [[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|ws1ws|5|review=yes}} A wide variety of Flora and Fauna make their home on this part of the planet. But due to the harshness of the sunlight, most of the flora and fauna live beneath the surface of the sand, where it is cooler.{{au ref|Taldain}}
 
==== Flora ====
The [[Dorim vine]] is a plant used as a water source on Dayside by its inhabitants, areas where they grow are not considered to be desert. The plant stores water primarily as a defensive measure against other creatures as its water dissolves the shells of many sand creatures. Because of this any creature attempting to eat the plant would find their mouths beginning to melt.{{book ref|ws|3|review=yes}} As a result, the growth of Dorim vines limits how large sandlings can grow.{{book ref|ws2|3}}
 
The city of Kezare someis cultivated for farming and is more fertile than the low sand regions, as a result of this it has more varied flora.{{book ref|ws|4|review=yes}}{{wob ref|3963}} The Darkside quarter of the city also has flowers native to Darkside growing within it.{{book ref|ws1ws|5|review=yes}}
