Kredik Shaw, also known as the Hill of a Thousand Spires, was the palace of the Lord Ruler on Scadrial and was 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.

It had many peaked spires and sheer towers that rose high into the air, all of varying thickness. Some were large enough to contain large rooms and stairwells, and others were simply nothing more than thin rods of metal. There was no outer defensive wall surrounding the palace.

One part of the palace contained a large, domed room with many murals, including a mountain, a large cavern, a pool of light, and something very dark. At the center of this room was a small, single-story building with a wooden door. Words were carved into the door, probably in the ancient Terris language. The stone of this building was carved with ornate, flowing patterns.

Being in the area immediately around Kredik Shaw gave one a feeling of immense depression, as if a constant, strong Soothing were taking place. This was caused by the Lord Ruler himself.

Vin destroyed the palace while she became Preservation during her last fight with Steel Inquisitors. Remnants of the palace where forced in to the ground inside a large crater caused by this event.
