{{for|/Gallery|more images}}
It has many peaked spires and sheer towers that rise high into the air, all of varying thickness.
▲The Kredik Shaw is located in the center of [[Luthadel]]. It was built on top of the [[Well of Ascension]] by [[Rashek]] after he remodelled the surrounding geography to hide the well from those seeking it in the mountains of [[Terris]].
One part of the palace contains a large, domed room with many murals, including a [[Terris|mountain]], a large cavern, a [[Well of Ascension|pool of light]], and [[Ruin|something very dark]].{{epigraph ref|mb3|14}} At the center of this room is a small, single-story building with a wooden door. Words are carved into the door, probably in the ancient [[Terris]] language. The stone of this building is carved with ornate, flowing patterns.{{book ref|mb1|14}}
▲It has many peaked spires and sheer towers that rise high into the air, all of varying thickness. Some are large enough to contain large rooms and stairwells, and others are simply nothing more than thin rods of metal. There is no outer defensive wall surrounding the palace.<ref>[[{{b|mb1}}_(book)|MB:TFE Chapter 14]]</ref>
