| Though many wished [[Urithiru]] to be built in [[Alethela]], it was obvious that it could not be. And so it was that we asked for it to be placed westward, in the place nearest to [[Honor]].

'''''The Vavibrar''''' is a work of literature on [[Roshar]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|35}}
[[Jasnah Kholin]] includes a selection from ''The Vavibrar'' (requoted from an older work) in [[Jasnah's notebook|her notebook]] while researching [[Urithiru]].{{epigraph ref|sa1|35}} The quote mentions that some of the founders of Urithiru originally expressed a desire to place it in the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Alethela]], but this was deemed impractical for unknown reasons.{{epigraph ref|sa1|35}} The city was instead placed "near [[Honor]]", in the mountains of the Kingdom of [[Makabakam]].{{map ref|Roshar}}{{map ref|Silver Kingdoms}}
Jasnah also notes her desire to be able to translate the dead language known as [[Dawnchant]], which would later be cracked by [[Navani Kholin]] through [[Dalinar's visions]].{{book ref|sa1|60}}
