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 diasdais 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}}
 
In the present day, the city is split between numerous plateaus, the largest of which is home to the [[listeners]]. It encompasses the plaza that houses the ancient tower, as well as the buildings surrounding it. Of its stuctures, the tower is by far the best-preserved, as centuries of highstorms have toppled most of the city and covered it in [[crem]]. While the original purpose of some buildings can still be guessed at, oftentimes the ancient houses and halls are utterly unrecognizable as works of people.{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} Though numerous structures have been completely filled in with crem and rocks, just as many remain empty within, hiding what remains of Stormseat's once-great past — remnants of its inhabitants, rotten furniture and even rusted door hinges. The air within is humid, and musty with age.{{book ref|sa2|83}}
