Summary
An enormous tower city built in the age of the Heralds as the seat of the ten Knights Radiant orders and the ten Silver Kingdoms. It was abandoned before the Recreance and forgotten. Rediscovered in the present, it is a vast, cold, empty maze of twisting halls and balcony lifts ringed by ten Oathgate platforms, which Dalinar turns into his fortress.
