“The palace was both finer and more mundane than she might have expected. ”
El Pináculo es el palacio del rey Elhokar Kholin en las Llanuras Quebradas.[2]
Disposición
El Pináculo se alza sobre una colina por encima de todos los demás campamentos de guerra, a unas horas de marcha del campamento de guerra de los Kholin.[3][4] Está rodeado por un acantilado de aproximadamente 30 metros de altura.[5] Hay una carretera que conduce a la entrada principal, mientras que una ruta lateral más pequeña desciende hacia los establos situados al pie de la colina.[6] Del mismo modo, la cuenca de los banquetes se sitúa bajo el palacio, con una corta subida entre ella y las puertas del Pináculo.[7] El Mercado Exterior también está cerca.[8]
The palace is made of sculpted, Soulcast stone.[1] A broad gateway leads inside, though there is also a back entrance atop a flight of steps.[4][5] Within, the Pinnacle has several floors containing vast, cavernous halls, and numerous rooms serving a variety of purposes. A large part of it is dug straight into the hill, with windows cut out facing leeward.[9][4] There are shutters on the windows to keep them closed during bad weather, though they tend to rattle and leak.[6]
Habitaciones destacadas
- La Galería de los Mapas
- The Gallery of Maps, as its name implies, houses numerous maps of both the world and the local area, as well as the list of highprinces and the number of gemhearts they have won. The long room is covered by a stretched dome, with large skylights which shine down upon formations of shalebark.[10][11]
- La sala de conferencias
- The king's conference chamber is located on one of the Pinnacle's topmost floors. The king and his family spend highstorms in there, while Dalinar is tied up for the duration of his visions.[9] During working hours, the strategy and politics meetings between the king and his highprinces take place within the room.[1]
- Las cocinas
- The kitchens, where food is prepared, are located near the bottom of the palace, perhaps on the ground floor. The back entrance to the Pinnacle leads there.[9]
- Los aposentos del rey
- The set of rooms where Elhokar lives. There is a small balcony there facing towards the Origin, allowing the king to observe the Shattered Plains. It is Elhokar's favorite location in the palace, a fact which is well-known.[12]
Historia
The palace was constructed by the royal moldeador de almas during the Guerra de la Venganza.[10] Elhokar eventually dubbed it the Pinnacle, and the name stuck.[4]
During its existence, the place served as Elhokar's home, as well as the place where strategy and planning meetings were conducted, making it effectively the centre of Alethi government.[13][1] In addition, the Pinnacle saw several failed attempts to assassinate the king - once by the Diagram, through a sliced railing in the royal quarters, once by the Assassin in White, and once directly by Moash and Graves.[12][9][14] Following that last attempt, Kaladin temporarily relocated Elhokar to Little Herdaz.[15]
After the Battle of Narak, most Alethi relocated to Urithiru. As with the other structures on the Shattered Plains, the Pinnacle was all but abandoned.[16]
