As one of the ten cities on [[Roshar]] to have an [[Oathgate]], Stormseat held a great deal of power during the [[Heraldic Epochs]]. The city was well-known in its time even across the world, as images and mosaics of it can be found as far west as [[Azir]].{{book ref|sa2|60}} During the [[True Desolation]], its importance is even greater, as rather than ten Oathgates, humans opposed to [[Odium]] hold only four.{{ref|text=Stormseat, [[Vedenar]], [[Azimir]] and [[Thaylen City]]}} Narak grants immediate access to the [[Shattered Plains]] and the warcamps that are among the last of the free [[Alethi]] territories, as well as the various cities of eastern [[Frostlands]], among them [[New Natanan]].{{map ref|Roshar}}
During the [[War of Reckoning]], the city is ruled by the [[Council of Five]], a group of [[listener]]s each holding one of the five forms known to their kind.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} For the first two years, it was a Council of Four, as [[nimbleform]] has only been discovered three years prior to the [[Battle of Narak]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} After the Battle, the city comes under control of [[House Kholin]], although eventually, [[Dalinar]] puts other armies on duty there as well to foster unity among the Alethi.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
