==== Re-Shephir's Chamber ====
The room in which [[Re-Shephir]] hides until being banished by [[Shallan]] has likely once been a library; however, by the time the Alethi arrive there, its collection has been destroyed by the [[Unmade]].

The entrance to the chamber proper is a large archway with individually placed stones, unusual in Urithiru. The ceiling has a large mosaic of the heralds. The walls are also covered in mosaic tile, depicting the ten spren of the Knights Radiant and other more enigmatic symbols: a figure hovering above the ground embracing a blue disc, the Almighty as a cloud, and a woman in the shape of a tree reaching hands toward heaven. There are two metal doors on opposite sides of the hallway, both leading to decayed libraries.{{book ref|sa3|29}}
 
A notable feature of the room is a column of gemstones in its center, around which Re-Shephir coiled when discovered. Though it's appearance is unusual, its purpose - and whether there is a purpose to it beyond decoration - remains unknown.{{book ref|sa3|29}} Renarin theorizes that it's a giant fabrial that does "being a city."{{book ref|sa3|44}}
