When Navani writes something via spanreed to Thaylen City from the control building of the Oathgate to that city within Urithiru, the building itself flashes a moment later - a ring of Stormlight running around it, like the afterimage of a firebrand being waved in the dark.
In protecting the cities with Oathgates, he believes that the people can be more mobile than the Voidbringers, despite that they are everywhere. Oathbringer ĭalinar believes that the Oathgates are the key to fighting the people's mutual enemy on Roshar. What they know is that they're safe from the Parshendi. Prior to this novel's end, many teleportations of former residents within the various warcamps of the highprinces have taken place and most Alethi, formerly in the Shattered Plains, are now ensconced in Urithiru (though they don't really know this or the legendary city's history). Shallan then followed up on her mentor's research, reclaimed her past and, in so doing, realized that by summoning her living Shardblade and ramming it into the slot of the Oathgate's operating mechanism, she was able to discern the procedure for making the Oathgate 'work'. Just why this Oathgate is still operational or hasn't been sealed isn't known, but such was suspected by Jasnah, who researched its history and imparted her suppositions to her ward, Shallan. The only known functioning Oathgate on Roshar is capable of transporting massive numbers of people from Stormseat (the former capital of Natanatan), called Narak by the Parshendi, at the center of the Shattered Plains, to Urithiru, which is located within the mountains south of the Purelake in the center of the continent. Whether from lack of use or lack of necessity isn't known, though Shallan thinks that they may have been sealed. With their betrayal of humankind on the Day of Recreance, over time, the Oathgates ceased to function.
In the distant past, Oathgates were located throughout Roshar and were the means by which the Knights Radiant traveled from various locales to Urithiru, where the orders of the Radiants were centered.
