It is the place where [[Talenel]], Herald of the Almighty, announced to the world that the Desolation had come.{{book ref|twok|epilogue}}
==
Kholinar is considered one of the [[Dawncities]] and sheltered from Highstorms.
[[Kaladin]], [[Shallan]], and [[Adolin]] travel to Kholinar with King [[Elhokar]] in an attempt to free the city from whatever dark forces seem to be affecting it. They discover a dark cloud over the palace, and witness attacks made by the [[Fused]] before entering the city. A Fused attack on the wall is actually what allows them to enter the city, distracting the guards enough for them to push through. The city's defenses and command structure has basically collapsed, but the [[Kholinar Wall Guard]] has taken up the defense of the city under the command of Highmarshal [[Azure]], but they are mostly directed outwards towards the Fused.
[[Sja-anat]] corrupted a large portion of local spren into twisted versions of themselves, including the spren of the [[Oathgate]]. [[Ashertmarn]], the Heart of the Revel, drove many of the nobles of Kholinar into excess and debauchery in an organization known as the [[Cult of Moments]]. Queen [[Aesudan]] attempted to bond with [[Yelig-nar]] by swallowing a gemstone containing it. This process proved too much for [[Aesudan]] and she is presumed dead.
