Urithiru displays a number of unusual properties that allow humans to survive despite its high altitude. Among those are heightened pressure; increased temperature; and general conditions encouraging plant growth.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}} In addition, there is a number of [[fabrial]]s, such as the elevators connecting Urithiru's floors and the gems in the [[Urithiru gem archive|gem archive]] capablewhich of preservingpreserve recordings of human voices.{{book ref|sa3|8}}{{book ref|sa3|53}} Non-functional fabrials include the plumbing system.{{book ref|sa3|104}} There is also a strange column of gems in the tower's lower levels, althoughpossibly itsa currentfabrial purposefor is"being uncleara city."{{book ref|sa3|29}} In a storage chamber near the top of the tower, the walls have veins of garnet, the gemstone classically associated with blood. Navani notes that the records in the gem archive “speak of this tower like a living thing. With a heart of emerald and ruby, and now these veins of garnet.”{{book ref|sa3|109}}
 
Urithiru was once home of the spren known as the [[Sibling]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|87}} However, at some point it withdrew from mankind, and currently slumbers.{{epigraph ref|sa3|70}}{{book ref|sa3|111}} This explains why many of Urithiru's systems are currently non-functional.{{wob ref|9498}} At the present, only some elevators work when gemstones are inserted, and the gem archive appears to be the sole functional fabrial remaining. Of the life support system, only increased pressure remains maintained.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}}
