Urithiru consists of 10 levels, with each level being 18 stories tall. Each level is wider going down and there are numerous balconies on the sides of the tower. The roofs of the lower, wider levels have gardens built into them. On the Stormward side of Urithiru there are large glass windows. Remarkably, this glass has stood for thousands of years and is still intact. Urithiru is surrounded by the ten plateaus of the [[Oathgate]]s. The interior of Urithiru is filled with tunnels that twist about in strange curves, Dalinar hypothesized that this was to fool invaders. {{book ref|sa3|8}} Each tunnel had distinctive patterns of strata, for instance, the corridor to Dalinar quarters had alternating red and yellow strips of strata that sloped upwards while the strata in the bathhouse where [[Vedekar Perel]]'s body was found spiraled and corkscrewed.{{book ref|sa3|9}} Known strata colors include shades of brown, yellow, red, orange, and orangeemerald green.
