<p>Stormlight place/lore/order article (Corvus), book-canon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Thaylen City&#039;&#039;&#039; is the capital of [[Thaylenah]], an island kingdom of [[Roshar]] renowned for its merchants, banks, and seafaring trade. Built into a steep coastal slope, the city is a hub of Rosharan commerce and the site of pivotal events in [[The Stormlight Archive]], including a climactic confrontation with the forces of [[Odium]].<br /> <br /> == Geography ==<br /> Thaylen City is constructed on terraces descending toward a great harbor, sheltered behind a massive seawall called the Ancient Magnificent Bastion that protects it from the [[The Highstorm|highstorms]] and storm surges. The city&#039;s tiers house markets, banks, and the homes of its famously shrewd merchant families. Its harbor is one of the busiest on Roshar.<br /> <br /> == Society ==<br /> The Thaylen people are known for their distinctive long white eyebrows, which they style and tuck behind their ears, and for their dominance of trade and finance across the continent. Thaylenah&#039;s merchant houses and banks extend their influence far beyond the island, and the kingdom&#039;s wealth rests on shipping and commerce rather than conquest.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> Thaylen City contains an [[Oathgate]] linking it to [[Urithiru]], making it strategically vital in the war against [[Odium]]. The city became the stage for a decisive battle in which [[Dalinar Kholin]] and the reborn [[Knights Radiant]] faced [[Odium]] directly, a confrontation that reshaped the course of the conflict and the unity of the human coalition.<br /> <br /> == Significance ==<br /> As both a center of trade and the site of one of the war&#039;s turning points, Thaylen City holds outsized importance among the cities of Roshar.<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Places]]</div>
