| ⚫ | '''Yeddaw''' is a city in [[Tashikk]] on [[Roshar]]. Yeddaw's shape and appearance is very unusual because it is composed of hundreds of trenches cut into the ground by hired [[Shardblade]]s, the Imperial Shardblades of [[Azir]]. All inhabitants live inside of the trenches, but farming is done above the city in the spaces between trenches. These trenches have varying widths and make a spiral towards the center of the city, which has a large moundlike building that rises over the surface of the ground, called the Grand Indicium.{{book ref|Edgedancer|11}} All of the trenches are cut so that water drains out of the city during Highstorms, with the Grand Indicium being the highest central point from which the rest of the city slopes downward.{{book ref|Edgedancer|2}} |
