<p>Stormlight place/lore/order article (Corvus), book-canon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Hearthstone&#039;&#039;&#039; is a rural town in [[Alethkar]], notable as the childhood home of [[Kaladin]], one of the central figures of [[The Stormlight Archive]]. A modest farming community in the princedom of Sadeas, Hearthstone embodies the life of the Alethi darkeyed common folk far from the courts and battlefields of the lighteyed nobility.<br /> <br /> == Geography ==<br /> Hearthstone lies in the lowlands of [[Alethkar]], a town of stone houses built to weather the [[The Highstorm|highstorms]]. The surrounding lands are farmed with lavis and other Rosharan crops, and the town is overseen by a local citylord on behalf of the highprince.<br /> <br /> == Society ==<br /> As a darkeyed community, Hearthstone&#039;s people occupy the lower rungs of [[Alethkar|Alethi]] society. [[Kaladin]]&#039;s father, [[Lirin]], served as the town&#039;s surgeon, a respected but socially fraught position that set the family apart. The town&#039;s life centered on farming, the local lord&#039;s manor, and the rhythms of the storms.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Hearthstone shaped [[Kaladin]]&#039;s early life: his training in surgery under his father, the loss of his brother [[Tien]] to conscription, and his own departure into the Alethi army all began here. The town later suffered under the wider devastation of the war and the coming of the [[The Everstorm|Everstorm]], and [[Kaladin]] returned to find it changed.<br /> <br /> == Significance ==<br /> Though a small and unremarkable town by the standards of Roshar&#039;s great cities, Hearthstone is significant as the crucible of [[Kaladin]]&#039;s character and as a window into the lives of Alethkar&#039;s common people.<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
