Kurth, also known as the City of Lightning[1] is a city in northeastern Rira[2]. It is situated on an island in the Reshi Sea just off the east coast of the main Riran landmass.[3]

It is well-known as far away as Alethkar. In his youth, Kaladin had heard stories about Kurth, Rall Elorim, and other faraway locales that encouraged his desire to join Torol Sadeas' army in order to see what other lands are like.[1]

The city is home to an Oathgate which was constructed to serve the people of Rishir, one of the ancient Silver Kingdoms.[4] While planning how to unite the nations of Roshar in the wake of the Everstorm, Navani Kholin suggested finding and using the Kurth Oathgate, citing Jasnah Kholin’s research into its location.[2] During the Last Desolation, the armies of Odium took the city and held its Oathgate in addition to the Kholinar and Rall Elorim Oathgates.[5]
