''The Stormlight Archive'' is an EpicFantasy series of ten planned novels, written by Creator/BrandonSanderson. It is part of Literature/TheCosmere, along with ''Franchise/{{Mistborn}}'', ''Literature/{{Elantris}}'', and ''Literature/{{Warbreaker}}''. The series is set on the world of Roshar, which experiences BizarreSeasons and HostileWeather -- the seasons change every few weeks, and appear in random order, while the hurricane-like "highstorms" hit every few days. The only exception to this is the annual "Weeping"; four weeks of constant, dreary rain (sometimes with a highstorm in the middle, sometimes without) that marks the beginning of a new year. These odd pressures have shaped Roshar's indigenous wildlife and human civilizations both.

* WeirdWorldWeirdFood: The planet Roshar has almost no soil or mammals, but plenty of arthropods and polyp-like plants. Local food and drink is broadly recognizable, but the sauced-meatballs-in-fried-bread street food is made with flour from a giant semi-mobile rockbud and meat that was either [[MiracleFood magically created]] or [[FantasticLivestock harvested from a giant crustacean]].
