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}}
The altitude is above most rain clouds and [[highstorm]]s.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
Due to the altitude and temperature, plant life is very limited.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
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 ref|sa1|34}} It was confirmed in Dalinar's dream that he did not use an Oathgate, only a guide which was akin to "taking a ferry across a river." There is an entrance at the bottom of the mountain which the unmade [[Re-Shephir]] used to escape.
Urithiru consists of 10 levels, with each level being 18 stories tall. Each level is wider going down and there are numerous balconies on the sides of the tower. The roofs of the lower, wider levels have gardens built into them. On the Stormward side of Urithiru there are large glass windows. Remarkably, this glass has stood for thousands of years and is still intact. Urithiru is surrounded by the ten plateaus of the [[Oathgate]]s. The interior of Urithiru is filled with tunnels that twist about in strange curves, Dalinar hypothesized that this was to fool invaders. {{book ref|sa3|8}} Each tunnel had distinctive patterns of strata, for instance, the corridor to Dalinar quarters had alternating red and yellow strips of strata that sloped upwards while the strata in the bathhouse where [[Vedekar Perel]]'s body was found spiraled and corkscrewed.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Known strata colors include shades of brown, yellow, red, and orange. The stone itself was smooth to the touch and hard enough that it could not be scratched with a knife.{{book ref|sa3|13}}
Decor:
* "She could tell that this tower—its contents, every hallway—was a majestic wonder."{{book ref|sa2|88}}
* "inspecting a faded painting on the wall. A fanciful picture, with animals from mythology. He recognized a few from children’s stories, like the enormous, minklike creature with the mane of hair that burst out around and behind its head." --paintings decorate the walls {{book ref|sa2|89}}
Elevator:
* "Storms, this place was high. His ears had popped several times while riding to the top, using the fabrial lift that Navani had discovered. She spoke of counterweights and conjoined gemstones, sounding awed by the technology of the ancients."{{book ref|sa2|89}}
Roof:
* Metal trap door in the ceiling.{{book ref|sa2|89}}
Gardens:
* "Below, each ring of the tower expanded out a little farther than the one above it. Shallan is right, he thought. They’re gardens. Each outer ring is dedicated to planting food."{{book ref|sa2|89}}
Balconies:
* none on the sheer face {{book ref|sa2|89}}
Top Room:
* probably a landmark instead
* nearly the entire floor{{book ref|sa2|89}}

The city was regarded as holy.{{book ref|sa1|58}} For the [[Shin]], the city and its Oathgates were their only connection to the outside world, as they believed its stones to be holy among the otherwise cursed stones of the Eastern world.{{book ref|sa2|47}}
===Rediscovery===
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 [[
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}}
