Location from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson
The central plateau of the Shattered Plains and the Listener capital — where the Parshendi made their last stand and summoned the Everstorm that changed the world.
Narak was home. For the listeners — the free Parshendi who rejected their gods — this plateau was the last place they could be themselves. They built a civilization here, small but sovereign, with their own songs, their own rhythms, and their own desperate choice to assassinate Gavilar Kholin rather than let him bring back the Fused. When Dalinar's coalition finally reached Narak, they found not an enemy stronghold but a people making an impossible choice. Eshonai, corrupted by stormform, led a faction that summoned the Everstorm — a storm that sweeps west to east, carrying the souls of the Fused back to Roshar and awakening the parshmen across the world. The Battle of Narak ended the war on the Plains and began a much larger one. Narak itself is now a monument to the moment everything changed — the last breath before the world shattered further.
A massive plateau larger than any other on the Plains, its surface worn smooth by millennia of storms. Stone buildings in the Listener style — low, rounded, integrated with the rock — dot the surface. At its center, the ruins where the Parshendi gathered for their final, desperate ritual.
