Urithiru is located on the east side of a mountain.{{qa ref|1100|1|It is on the east side of a mountain.|date= Jan 8th, 2015}}
There was some disagreement as to whether or not Urithiru was accessible by foot. Varala and Sinbian both claimed that it was inaccessible by foot but in [[Nohadon|Nohadon's]] eighth parable from [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']] he claimed that he walked from [[Abamabar]] to Urithiru.{{epigraph
There is a village in the foothills of the mountain to the south of the tower. [[Szeth]] had gone by this village so many times that he mused that at some point they had started thinking of him as some sort of god, leaving out tributes of [[sphere]]s for him to use for [[stormlight]].{{book ref|sa2|I|10}}
*Role in society
It is known that many wished for it to be built in [[Alethela]], but
The orders of the [[Knights Radiant]] were centered here{{book ref|sa1|19}} and it is said to have been the center of the Silver Kingdoms holding ten thrones, one for each king.{{book ref|sa1|45}}{{book ref|sa2|60}}▼
"Urithiru is where our orders are centered, but we live in cities all across Alethela."{{book ref|sa1|19}}
Aside from the Knights Radiant, Urithiru also served to train commoners who showed promise as fighters.{{book ref|sa1|19}}
The city was regarded as holy.{{book ref|sa1|58}}

===The Era of Solitude===
*Legend/legacy
At some point, only one member of the three [[Bondsmith]]s maintained residence in Urithiru.{{epigraph ref|sa2|44}} (ASSUMING THIS IS AFTER THE LAST DESOLATION)
At the time of the [[Day of Recreance|Recreance]] the [[Oathgate]]s in the 9 surviving cities were sealed.▼
There is evidence that relations between Urithiru and the outside world grew tense in the years leading up to the [[Recreance]]. Use of the [[Oathgate]]s to travel between kingdoms was taxed, and [[Terxim]] noted that an increase of these tariffs to unreasonable levels was an indication of the Radiants' "true nature".{{epigraph ref|sa1|46}}
▲At the time of the
In the centuries that followed, knowledge Urithiru faded to myth and the location was lost.{{book ref|sa1|19}} The [[Vorin]] Church in particular rejected the city's existence due to its connection with the "Lost Radiants", and during the [[Heirocracy]] such information was actively suppressed.{{book ref|sa2|6}} Eventually the only records that remained were rare excerpts of translations and commentaries by classical scholars.{{book ref|sa1|45}} Most maps that remained were contradictory, merely placing the city in nearby mountains or hills.{{book ref|sa2|47}}
Several parties began searching for the ancient city towards the end of the [[Era of Solitude]] for various purposes, including [[Jasnah Kholin]], the [[Ghostbloods]], and the [[Sons of Honor]]. In her search for more information about, and protection from, the [[Desolation]]s and the [[Voidbringer]]s, Jasnah gathered every shred of information that she could find on the city. She likely investigated most of the [[Oathgate]]s, as her notes indicated that they all appeared to be locked.{{book ref|sa2|89}} She eventually came to believe that a path to Urithiru was located somewhere on the [[Shattered Plains]].{{book ref|sa2|6}} An assassin contracted by the Ghostbloods prevented Jasnah from reaching the Plains, however [[Shallan Davar]], Jasnah's young ward, was able to piece together her mentor's notes, identify the purpose of the Oathgates, discern [[Stormseat]]'s location, and activate the gate during the onset of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa2|86}}
