| − | A '''stormclock''' is a device from [[Roshar]] which can be used to tell when a [[highstorm]] is due.{{book ref|sa3|16}} It's composed of a single arm on a round face, and some hidden mechanisms.{{file ref|Vambrace.jpg|Vambrace, from Navani's notebook}} |

| + | [[Navani Kholin]] constructed a bracer for [[Dalinar]] which contained both a timepiece and a stormclock, and housed a [[painrial]].{{book ref|sa3|16}} |
||
| − | Rather than a clock, it's more akin to a timer. The user must wind it up for the amount of time they predict is left until a highstorm.{{book ref|sa3|16}} The stormclock then counts down the time and makes a small dinging sound upon finishing.{{book ref|sa3|64}} As such, it can be used to count down until other things as well, such as the arrival of the [[Everstorm]].{{book ref|sa3|122}} |

| − | While regular Rosharan timepieces are [[fabrial]]s, it's uncertain whether stormclocks are as well or if they work purely mechanically.{{book ref|sa1|10}} |

| − | The stormclocks have existed on Roshar for some time, but [[Navani Kholin]] is the first to create a version small enough to wear on one's wrist.{{book ref|sa3|16}} She designs a leather vambrace that combines a stormclock with a regular fabrial clock and a [[painrial]], and gifts it to several people, among them [[Dalinar]] and [[Adrotagia]].{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} |
