Location from Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
A vast underground cavern system beneath the Pits of Hathsin where the kandra live as a society. Home to the First Generation and the repository of kandra culture, law, and the Blessing spikes.
The kandra Homeland is a hidden civilization beneath one of the Final Empire's most brutal institutions. While prisoners died mining atium above, the kandra lived their own complex society below — governed by the Homeland's Contracts, judged by Generations, and bound by the Blessings that give them sapience. The First Generation, created directly by the Lord Ruler from the original Terris Feruchemists he transformed, maintain the oldest memories and traditions. TenSoon's return to face judgment for breaking Contract brings readers into this underground world of alien beauty and surprisingly human social dynamics. During the Catacendre, Sazed directed the kandra to shelter humanity in these caverns, saving the species from destruction.
Enormous natural caverns carved and shaped over centuries into a subterranean city. Bioluminescent fungi and crystal formations provide soft, otherworldly light. Smooth stone paths wind between kandra dwellings — alcoves and chambers suited to beings who can reshape their bodies. The central chamber where the First Generation resides is vast and cathedral-like, its ceiling lost in darkness above.
