== Geography ==
It was during the war that [[Jasnah Kholin]] began her research into [[Urithiru]]. Eventually, she pinpointed Stormseat as a possible access point into the city, and though she seemingly perished in the attack on her ship, her [[ward]] [[Shallan Davar]] continued her work.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Eventually, Shallan managed to find the rough location of Stormseat and convinced [[Dalinar Kholin]] to organize an expedition to find it, and the Oathgate it held.{{book ref|sa2|78}}

As the Alethi pushed towards Narak, the listeners there were transforming into [[stormform]], while the children, the elderly and those who refused to change abandoned the city for the dubious safety of the Plains further east.{{book ref|sa2|i|13}} Eventually, the stormforms and the Alethi clashed over Narak and the surrounding plateaus.{{book ref|sa2|83}} Though the listeners were defeated, it was not before they managed to summon the [[Everstorm]], and Shallan had to rescue the Alethi armies by reactivating the Oathgate.{{book ref|sa2|86}}▼
