Hearthstone is a large but remote town[1] near the eastern boarder of the Sadeas princedom in Alethkar.[2] The northern section of Sadeas princedom, including Hearthstone, is overseen by Highmarshal Meridas Amaram prior to his departure to the Shattered Plains.[1]
It is the home of Kaladin's family.[1]
Geography
It is located behind a hill to protect it from highstorms. A large hole had been cut in the rock at the center of the town to catch rainwater from highstorms.[3]
History
Until approximately 1165 Brightlord Wistiow was Hearthstone's citylord.[4] After he dies the new citylord, Roshone, arrives from Kholinar to Hearthstone. He brings his son Rillir with him and plans to marry him with Wistiow's daughter Laral for the purpose of an alliance between Roshone and a good house.[3] Roshone and his son go on a whitespine hunt and both of them are wounded badly. Rillir doesn't survive.[5]
Eventually Brightlord Amaram's army passes through Hearthstone (approximately 1167) on a recruitment drive for his armies. When not enough of Hearthstone's men volunteer, Roshone forcibly conscripts other eligible citizens. While Lirin and Kaladin are safe from this duty (because they are a surgeon and his apprentice and thus vital to the town) Roshone chooses Tien to spite Lirin, which leads to Kaladin also volunteering.[6]
