“No, this was impressive. A majestic city cut out of the starvin' ground. ”
—Lift, when thinking about Yeddaw[1]
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 Shardblades, 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.[1]
History
Yeddaw is the main setting for Edgedancer, a Stormlight Archive book featuring Lift. In Edgedancer, Lift travels to the city and has interactions with the inhabitants while following Nale.[1]
