'''Triax''' is a small nation in southern [[Roshar]].{{map ref|Roshar}} The people of Triax live in small villages, which are located in forest clearings. Their houses are built on stilts, although the risk of flooding is quite small.{{book ref|Sa4|71}}
== Geography and Ecology ==
The country lies in the southern part of central Roshar, between an unnamed mountain range and the [[Tarat Sea]]. It borders [[Tu Fallia]] to the west and [[Jah Keved]] to the east. A single river splits the country in two. Despite a long coastline on [[Tarat Sea]], it has no ports or settlements of global importance.{{map ref|Roshar}} It has an area of around 336,000 km<sup>2</sup>.{{url ref|url=https://www.17thshard.com/forum/blogs/entry/634-roshar-physical-characteristics-and-areas/|text=Roshar Physical Characteristics And Areas|site=17th Shard}}
The area around Triax and [[Tu Fallia]] is incredibly lush compared to more eastern nations, such as [[Alethkar]], these lands are full of plants with many varieties, such as grasses and vines. There are also many animals, one such species of animal has long tentacles and leathery skin instead of chitin.{{book ref|sa4|71}}
Triax's position near the center of Roshar lends it significant strategic importance. For any military force seeking to cross the southern continent, the mountains to the north and the coast to the south form a bottleneck through Triax. This makes moving troops through through the area highly difficult, and provides a defending force with a strategic advantage.{{book ref|sa3|107}} However, this advantage may be affected by control of the nearby [[Vedenar]] [[Oathgate]].{{book ref|sa4|17}}
