| − | ==Geography== |
||
| − | Kurth is situated in northwestern Roshar, a warm area of the continent. The city is on an island in the [[Reshi Sea]] just off the east coast of the main Riran landmass. Kurth is on the west side of the island.{{map ref|Roshar}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | Kurth was once the capital of the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Rishir]].{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}} Despite Kurth's seemingly remote location in Rishir's territory, an [[Oathgate]] was constructed there to serve the kingdom and its people.{{map ref|Oathgates}} After the Silver Kingdoms era, Rishir became the modern-day [[Reshi Isles]], but the island that contains Kurth ended up as part of the nearby nation of Rira. Kurth is likely the largest city in Rira.{{map ref|Roshar}} |
||

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | While planning how to unite the nations of Roshar in the wake of the [[Everstorm]], members of [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s coalition hoped to open and secure the Kurth Oathgate. However, Rira did not respond to Dalinar's attempts at diplomacy. The [[Iri]]ali, who claimed Rira as a vassal, held a grudge against Dalinar for marrying [[Evi]] after she had taken a set of [[Shardplate]] out of Rira; they flatly refused to work with him.{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{book ref|sa3|24}} During the [[True Desolation]], the forces of [[Odium]] secured the area by allying themselves with the Rirans and Iriali;{{book ref|sa3|96}} Odium's forces presumably controlled Kurth and its Oathgate as the war began in earnest.{{book ref|sa3|107}} |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Culture== |
||
| − | The origin of Kurth's nickname as the "City of Lightning" is not known. However, the city is well-known even in rural [[Alethkar]]. In his youth, [[Kaladin]] heard stories about Kurth, [[Rall Elorim]], and other exotic-sounding locales that encouraged his desire to join [[Torol Sadeas]]'s army in order to see what other lands are like.{{book ref|sa1|16}} |
