The Order's two Surges: Adhesion (top left), |
Windrunners are one of the Ten Orders of Knights Radiant. They have the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation. The combination of these two Surges results in three separate powers which are known as the Three Lashings.[1]
History
In a vision experienced during a Highstorm, Dalinar Kholin witnessed hundreds of Radiants on the Day of Recreance abandoning their Shardblades and Shardplate.[citation needed]
Potentially wholly unrelated to Dalinar's vision, there is also the following:
“ | There came also sixteen of the order of Windrunners, and with them a considerable number of squires, and finding in that place the Skybreakers dividing the innocent from the guilty, there ensued a great debate. | ” |
–From Words of Radiance, chapter 28, page 3[2] |
Known Windrunners
Kaladin has bonded with a honorspren (i.e.: Syl), spoken and embraced the First, Second and Third Ideals.[3]
Notable Characters with Windrunner Abilities
Szeth is able to use the powers of a Windrunner by bonding with a Honorblade (not to a honorspren) and without having spoken or embraced the first three Ideals.[citation needed]
