== Oathgate Locations ==
=== Urithiru ===
There are ten Oathgate platforms on the edges of the grand plaza in front of Urithiru.{{file ref|Urithiru.jpg|Urithiru top-down view}} Each Oathgate is connected to a location in each of the ten ancient [[Silver Kingdoms]].{{
=== Shattered Plains ===
===Thaylenah===
The [[Thalath]] Oathgate is located in the Thaylen capital, [[Thaylen City]]. It sits at the city's highest and east-most point, near the cliffs falling down into the sea. Standing high above the other buildings, it provides an excellent view of the entire city.{{book ref|sa3|58}} A solitary path connects it to the Royal Ward. Notably, it's the only known Oathgate so far not to be located within the original borders of the ancient city it's connected to.{{map ref|Thaylen City}} In Shadesmar, it's connected to land by a long bridge.{{book ref|sa3|112}}
The Oathgate's original purpose remained in the Thaylen cultural memory, with stories of a "portal of worlds" dazzling childen to this day.{{book ref|sa3|12}} However, the platform itself has been transformed into a sculpture garden. [[Kaladin]] and [[Shallan]] fly to Thaylen City to unlock it, while [[Malata]] does the same from Urithiru side, under [[Navani]]'s supervision.{{book ref|sa3|58}} From then on out, it's frequently used to transport both people and cargo.{{book ref|sa3|111}} It's particularly crucial in the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], as Kaladin and his group fight there in an attempt to return from Shadesmar, and the gate itself is used to transport reinforcements to help repel the [[Fused]].{{book ref|sa3|116}}{{book ref|sa3|120}}
===Azir===
The [[
Once the Azish learn that the structure is an Oathgate, they close down the grand market and build an extensive wooden structure within, indended to funnel anyone coming out of the control chamber down a single, highly defensible path.{{book ref|sa3|65}} Although they initially refuse to open the gate out of fear of the Blackthorn, they eventually allow [[Lift]] to do so to let Dalinar visit their city.{{book ref|sa3|12}}{{book ref|sa3|65}} Dalinar intends to inform them that the entire platform can be swapped, rendering their defences meaningless, although it's unknown whether he ended up passing that information along.{{book ref|sa3|65}}

The [[Valhav]] Oathgate is located in the city of [[Vedenar]], the capital of [[Jah Keved]]. It stands on one of the highest of the grand terraces of the city. Alongside a ramp, a set of stais leads up to the platform.{{book ref|sa3|100}}
Like the other terraces in Vedenar, the Oathgate platform has been turned into a grand garden in the centuries since it's been locked.{{book ref|sa3|100}} After [[Taravangian]] decides to ally with Dalinar, [[Malata]] unlocks the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa3|24}} The garden is then cleaned up, clearing the platform for full use.{{book ref|sa3|100}}

<!-- NOTE: Once there's more than two sentences of information about any of these Oathgates, they should get their own subsections, the same way the ones above have -->

* '''Rira''': The [[Rishir]] Oathgate is located in the capital of [[Rira]], [[Kurth]].{{map ref|Oathgates}} It's likely come under the control of Odium as the Iriali moved to conquer Rira -- something they've intended to do for a long time.{{book ref|sa3|27}}
