===Strata===
Each tunnel in Urithiru has distinctive patterns of strata.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Known strata colors include shades of brown, yellow, red, orange, and emerald green, though it would appear that only [[Surgebinder]]s are capable of perceiving the various colours.{{wob ref|10715}} The stone itself is smooth to the touch and hard enough that it can't be scratched with a knife.{{book ref|sa3|13}} Notably, the same strata patterns can be seen on [[Kholinar]] windblades, indicating similar
Known strata descriptions:
* '''Third floor corridor where Sadeas's body is found''': "twisted with lines—natural strata of alternating earthy colors, like those made by crem drying in layers."{{book ref|sa3|2}}
* '''Bathhouse where [[Vedekar Perel]]'s body is found''': "spiraled, twisting around the floor, ceiling, and walls like the threads of a screw"; "curving, twisting medley of oranges, reds, and browns—ballooning out across the sides of this chamber in wide bands before coiling back into narrow stripes to continue down the hall that led out the other side"{{book ref|sa3|9}}
* '''On the way to Dalinar's quarters''': "wide reddish strata alternating with smaller yellow ones"; "sloping slightly upward"{{book ref|sa3|8}}
* '''Shallan's quarters''': "bright circular patterns"{{book ref|sa3|13}}
* '''Room where Dalinar inspects the honor blade''': "no strata"{{book ref|sa3|16}}
* '''Sparring room''': "grey and black"{{book ref|sa3|16}}
* '''Sadeas' quarters, side room''': "muted pattern of strata"; "oranges and reds that blended together so evenly you could almost pretend the wall was all one hue"{{book ref|sa3|21}}
* '''Passageway to the theater''': "emerald cast"{{book ref|sa3|25}}
* '''Small chamber where Dalinar and Navani worked''': "like the folds of a fan"{{book ref|sa3|28}}
* '''While Shallan chased the Midnight Mother''': "danced on the walls"{{book ref|sa3|29}}
* '''Storage room near the top of the tower''': "a line of red crystal embedded in the stone wall [...] started at the ceiling and wound all the way down the wall--within the pattern of the light green and grey strata--to the floor. It was smooth to the touch, distinct in texture from the rock around it [...] like the other strata lines ripple out from this one, getting wider as they move away from it"{{book ref|sa3|109}}
