Little is known of the appearance of ancient Stormseat. Although the [[Song of Wars]] claims that the city "covered" the [[Shattered Plains]], the surviving images of it paint it as rather small, though it likely had numerous outbuildings and satelite towns.{{epigraph ref|sa2|26}}{{book ref|sa2|60}} Within the city itself, several landmarks could be distinguished, among them a tall tower in the very centre and the dais housing the city's [[Oathgate]] to the south-west of it.{{file ref|Stormseat Mosaic.jpeg|Stormseat Mosaic}}{{book ref|sa2|81}} It's known that Stormseat had a temple dedicated to the [[Herald]] [[Chana]], with a large mosaic on its leeward side.{{book ref|sa2|77}} If Stormseat was similar to other major cities of its era, like [[Kholinar]] and [[Thaylen City|Thaylen]], it's possible every Herald had a temple of their own within its walls.{{file ref|Thaylen City.jpg|Map of Thaylen City}}{{file ref|Kholinar.jpg|Map of Kholinar}}

 

 

=== War of Reckoning ===

Though [[listeners]] have lived on the [[Shattered Plains]] since before the [[Aharietiam]], they made their home at the collapsed domes near the Plains' outer edge. It was only following the assassination of the [[Alethi]] king, [[Gavilar Kholin]], that they moved to Narak, as its remote location made it a better defensive position. Over the next five years, the listeners transformed Narak into a functioning city, building on top of the old structures.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Though they might've been more spread out at the start, by the end of the [[War of Reckoning]], their entire nation lived there.{{wob ref|6513}}

 

[[New Natanan]] has attempted to get Stormseat for themselves; however, at the present they lack both the political clout and military power to enforce their claim.{{book ref|sa3|96}}
