Dawncity is a term used to describe a city on Roshar that is old enough to be able to trace the origin of said city all the way back to the Dawnsingers.

As of 1173, discussing the Dawncities had recently become fashionable among the Alethi lighteyes. No city has yet been confirmed to be a Dawncity. One man, Au-nak seemed to believe that the city of Sesemalex Dar was a Dawncity, due to the complex stone patterns that the city was built within. Highprince Hatham's wife studied the Dawncities.

The Dawncities may have been created with the use of Surgebinding, but in Dalinar's visions, he had seen no sign of any of the Dawncities.

They are beyond the scope of what a group of Radiants could create via Soulcasting. They may have been created by the Dawnsingers making use of an early form of Stoneshaping to shape cities in the stone.
