'''Kurth''', also known as the ''City of Lightning''{{book ref|sa1|16}} is a city in northeastern [[Rira]]{{book ref|sa3|8}}. It is situated on an island in the [[Reshi Sea]] just off the east coast of the main Riran landmass.{{map ref|Roshar}}
Kurth was once the capital of the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Rishir]], and an [[Oathgate]] which was constructed there to serve the nation and its people.{{map ref|Oathgates}} After the fall of Rishir, the city became a part of the nation of Rira. In the course of her research into the Oathgates, [[Jasnah Kholin]] identified Kurth as the likely site of an Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|8}} While planning how to unite the nations of Roshar in the wake of the [[Everstorm]], members of [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s coalition hoped to open and secure the Kurth Oathgate. During the [[Last Desolation]], the forces of [[Odium]] secured the city and held its Oathgate{{book ref|sa3|107}} by allying themselves with the Rirans and [[Iri|Iriali]].{{book ref|sa3|96}}
It is well-known as far away as [[Alethkar]]. In his youth, [[Kaladin]] had heard stories about Kurth, [[Rall Elorim]], and other faraway locales that encouraged his desire to join [[Torol Sadeas]]' army in order to see what other lands are like.{{book ref|sa1|16}}▼
