+ | Stormwardens primarily focus on predicting when highstorms will arrive, hence the name. The process involves complex mathematics{{book ref|sa2|31}} done using a custom glyph-based script{{book ref|sa2|52}} and is based on a variety of inputs, including the times of recent highstorms, the times of previous years' highstorms, and when the last highstorm left the western edge of Roshar.{{wob ref|7943}} Although the results are not perfect, they are very useful; even a hobbyist like [[Lirin]] can predict the right date 80% of the time.{{book ref|sa1|4}} Contrary to mythology, which states that each highstorm is a separate storm starting at the [[Origin]], modern stormwardens and other scholars believe that there is only one highstorm that circles the planet repeatedly.{{book ref|sa2|87}} |
Stormwardens study a variety of scholarly topics besides highstorm prediction, often ones relating to highstorms. They predict Rosharan seasons,{{book ref|sa1|22}} which are affected by highstorms,{{wob ref|3777}} and have found that growing plants using storm water is better than using lake or river water due to the nutrients it contains.{{book ref|sa1|11}} They are sometimes included in other scientific experiments;{{book ref|sa2|35}} notably, stormwardens are part of the expedition by [[Gavilar Kholin]] that makes first contact with the [[listener]]s and are the ones who come up with the name "Parshendi".{{book ref|sa1|45}} |
