Horneater Peaks

The Horneater Peaks are a range of high mountains located within - but apparently independent of - Jah Keved, and are the home of the Unkalaki (i.e., Horneaters). The Peaks are near Vedenar and sometimes the people there have red hair like the Horneaters. Rock indicates that they are cousins.
==Appearance==
They are majestic, densely populated at their tips, with villages clustered near vents that emit steam or lava.
==Description==
According to Rock, the Horneater Peaks are warm. Sigzil confirms this, saying that the peaks have hot springs to warm them. But Rock disputes this, saying that these are not springs, but small oceans, one for every peak. That the Horneater oceans are waters of life.
The waters within the Peaks are a Shardpool.Shardpool Sigzil describes them thusly:
Rock further describes them:
When Lopen tells Rock that he'd like to go for a dip himself, Rock tells him that it is death to one not of his people. Sigzil responds by saying that swimming in the emerald pools is death to outsiders because Horneaters execute outsiders who touch them. Rock tells him that this is not true. Sigzil grumbles that they're just hot springs.
At this, Rock rolls his eyes and states the following:
Rock later recalls his homeland as a place of extremes: bitter ice, powdery snow, boiling heat, and blessed humidity.
However, once reunited with his family, his wife tells him that there is something very wrong with the Peaks.
From Shadesmar, Azure says that the perpendicularity in the Peaks is the only sure way back to Kholinar.
Shallan says that the lighthouse keeper says he thinks something strange is happening there. That ships from that direction have never ended up arriving.
==Notes==
It has been confirmed that the Shardpool on the Peaks can connect to Shadesmar - or to another world in the cosmere - due to Azure's account of her arrival on Roshar.
