The Order of Windrunners was an order of the Knights Radiant on Roshar.
The Windrunners were Surgebinders who used the two Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation, and they absorbed Stormlight from gems by inhalation. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings. These powers were gained by bonding with an honorspren. Szeth was able to use the three Lashings by way of an Honorblade, assumed to have belonged to Jezrien, the order's patron.
The glow of the Windrunners' Shardplate was blue.

Basic Lashing
The Basic Lashing allows a Surgebinder to bind people or objects to different surfaces or in different directions, effectively changing the direction that gravity pulls them.
Full Lashing
Using the Full Lashing, a Surgebinder can pool Stormlight into an area. All objects that subsequently touch this area will be bonded to the object, sticking them there and hindering their movement. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out.
Reverse Lashing
By using the Reverse Lashing, a Surgebinder can increase the gravitational pull of an object, allowing them to subtly pull nearby objects toward it. The Surgebinder must maintain contact with the object to Reverse Lash it.
Other abilities
Kaladin displayed the ability to ride the Highstorms, though it is unknown if this was an ability of all of the Knights Radiant, just the Windrunners, or if this was an unrelated ability specific to Kaladin.
