As the '''The Song of the Last Summer''' says that Urithiru was crafted by the hands of no man, this may suggest that the [[Knights Radiant]] did not construct [[Urithiru]], but perhaps the [[Shard]]s, maybe [[Honor]], built it. Another interpretation is that if Urithiru is not built by humans, other races on Roshar built it.
