The feasting basin is located at the foot of the hill holding the [[Pinnacle]], Elhokar's palace on the Plains. It's open-air, shaped like a shallow bowl with five circular platforms rising up from it; the platforms were created through [[Soulcasting]].{{book ref|sa2|67}} The platforms are connected to each other by bridges, with railings done in fine scrollwork that has to be stowed away when not in use to protect it from moisture.{{book ref|sa1|22}}

 

Mirroring most [[Vorin]] ballrooms, four of the basin's islands are segregated by gender—two for men, two for women. One of the islands holds a sparring ring for young brightlords who wish to show off their swordsmanship. Elsewhere, there are easels and drawing tools for women to display their skills.{{book ref|sa1|22}} The king's island, by contrast, is open to people of any gender, allowing various powerful nobles equal access to the king.{{book ref|sa2|67}}

 

The feasting basin was the premier spot for parties for the high-born occupants of the warcamps, giving [[lighteyes]] the opportunity to see and interact with the king. They presented opportunities for people to not only mingle with other members of their social class, but also to play politics, both international and domestic.{{book ref|sa1|54}} [[Highprince]]s rarely missed attending any feasts held at the basin.{{book ref|sa2|67}} The high-profile setting of the feasts led to some notable incidents of political maneuvering between the highprinces, often incited by [[Torol Sadeas]].{{book ref|sa1|22}}{{book ref|sa1|54}}

 

After the [[True Desolation]] began, the feasting basin fell out of use after the king and most of his subjects abandoned the warcamps for [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa3|50}}
