=== Squares ===
Luthadel is home to many squares and open crossroads. One of the most prominent of these is the [[Fountain Square]], being large enough for tens of thousands of people. It has a central patio raised five feet above the ground that contains four bowl-like fountains. The square is located in central Luthadel, on the road from the Steel Gate to Kredik Shaw. Every time the Lord Ruler decided to perform executions, these would be held at the fountain square. The prisoners were forced on their knees beside a fountain each, where they got beheaded by an Inquisitor, and their blood streamed in the fountains coloring them red.{{book ref|mb1|26}} Later this general area became known as the [[Square of the Survivor]].{{book ref|mb1|36}}
Another large square is the [[Fourwell Crossroads]], located in Luthadel's commercial district in the southwest, where more fortunate skaa and less fortunate nobles mix on the streets. In each corner a well can be found, and the square's center is dominated by a fountain with a massive copper statue depicting the Lord Ruler, standing dramatically in cloak and armor, the defeated Deepness represented by the water at his feet.{{book ref|mb1|11}}
