The King's Palace

The king's palace on the Shattered Plains was built up the side of a large stone hill, with tunnels dug down into the rock. The king's own quarters sat at the very top.
This meant lots of climbing and hiking up switchbacks for Kaladin and his men, solely for the king's protection.
Within the palace, there were cavernous hallways lit by spheres grouped in lamps on the walls; sapphires and diamonds blended to give a blue-white cast.
The hallway to the king's conference chamber grew surprisingly decorative as they approached it. There was even a series of reliefs being carved on the walls - the Heralds, embellished with gemstones on the rock to glow at appropriate locations.
The chamber itself was decorated with a thick rug and large unshuttered windows on the leeward side. The room had one other door, probably out onto the balcony, but no other exits.
The walk between the barracks in Dalinar's warcamp and the king's palace - which the king had started calling the Pinnacle - took an hour or so.
This is also the locale where the initial fight between Kaladin and Szeth took place.
Plus, Shallan delivered the news of Jasnah's "death" to her brother, the king, at this locale.
