'''Stormseat''' was the capital city of the historic [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] of [[Natanatan]] on [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa2|60}} During the [[War of Reckoning]], it's called '''Narak''', or Exile, and serves as the home of the [[listeners]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}
== Geography ==
Rather than excavating Stormseat, the listeners constructed their own settlement atop the city's bones. The rocky shelves have been transformed into barracks and homes, while carapaces of [[greatshell]]s form ramshackle houses. Inside, crem is used to create divisions and make separate rooms, with additional layer on the outer walls to provide insulation and stability. Mounds of former buildings serve as [[rockbud]] farms, while many houses grow [[shalebark]] on the outside. Both the homes and the farms are built in the shadows of the older structures, to protect them from highstorms.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}}{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} This does not make them completely protected, however. As the highstorm arrives, the listeners stuff rags under the doors, set up support beams to prop up the walls, and close up the windows, hammering in large blocks of wood to secure them.{{book ref|sa2|i|5}}
Following the [[Battle of Narak]], the city has been taken over by humans, who turn it into a fortress to protect the Oathgate to [[Urithiru]] and the route between it and the warcamps. The tower is repurposed into a lookout, and the buildings become barracks. The surrounding plateaus serve as training grounds for the [[Windrunner]] squires and assembly points.{{book ref|sa3|55}}{{book ref|sa3|46}}. They are connected to each other and Narak by old bridges from [[gemheart]] hunts, though plans are made to replace those with permanent structures.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
