Rockfall is a four-floors-tall structure made entirely out of stone. It's constructed around a square atrium with a skylight on top of it, with galleries running around it on every floor. The atrium is filled with manicured [[shalebark]] and [[rockbud]]s, with numerous [[lifespren]] flitting between them.{{book ref|sa3|72}} |

+ | However, Rockfall's most famous feature are its waterfalls. Four large fountains pour down from the top floor onto the atrium ground -- however, they carry no water. At some point in the past, they have been [[Soulcasting|Soulcast]] into different materials, including crystal, dark wood and marble. They have been transformed just as water hit the ground, preserving their shape forever. It is from these waterfalls that the mansion's nickname is derived.{{book ref|sa3|72}} |

+ | The mansion is quite old, having changed hands over a dozen times in the past. At one point, there were real waterfalls there, although one of the owners paid a vast sum of money to [[Soulcasting|Soulcast]] them into various materials, and from then on, the place became known as Rockfall. Brightness [[Nananav]] purchased it about a decade ago and attemped to have it renamed as '''Hadinal Keep''', although by the [[Siege of Kholinar]], her efforts appear to have failed.{{book ref|sa3|72}} |

+ | During one of its passes, the [[Everstorm]] struck the mansion with lightning, making a giant hole in one of the atrium-adjacent rooms. Nananav had people hired to fix it up, which [[Shallan]] and her crew, including [[Vathah]], [[Red (Roshar)|Red]] and [[Ishnah]], use to inflitrate the place with an intent of robbing its larder. The heist is successful, despite Shallan taking a crossbow bolt to the head at one point, and the food is distributed among the city's poor, with the intent of catching the attention of the [[Cult of Moments]].{{book ref|sa3|72}} |
