You may want to note that if you try to worldhop to Sel, you're probably going to die before you ever GET to Sel because of its weird Cognitive Realm and the massive chaotic reservoir of Investiture that was once Devotion and Dominion. Also, if you show up to The Lord Ruler's Scadrial, you're probably fine on the koloss front, they were pretty well controlled until he died. I'd say Roshar is a bit more dangerous than you made it out to be, because of the whole gradually/not-so-gradually approaching apocalypse thing.

Roshar isn't that dangerous. The highstorms are mostly diminished by the unclaimed hills, and are mentioned several times to be far more powerful in the shattered plains.

4 жыл бұрын

The highstorms hit hardest in the Unclaimed Hills, but they're still incredibly powerful all the way across the continent; that's why Shinovar is the only place that has actual soil. We can see the strength of the highstorms is still overwhelming on the other side of Roshar by looking at Edgedancer: Lift is in Yeddaw, a city in Tashikk, on the southwestern edge of the continent, but it's still bare stone, adaptive plants, and a devastating highstorm at the end of the book. Also, Alethkar doesn't grow wheat. They grow lavis, which is a type of grain cultivated in rockbuds. It's true that there are forests with good lumber, even just outside the Shattered Plains, but those are presumably similar to stumpweights and other adapted plants and not Earth-like trees. The only time we've seen an Earth-like or Shinovar plant outside of actual Shinovar is with Rysn's pot of grass, which is considered odd by virtually everyone who sees it. If there was soil or similar plants outside of Shinovar, even elsewhere in the west, this wouldn't be the case.
