'''The Order of the Windrunners''' was an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.
 
The Windrunners were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the two [[Surge]]s of Gravitation and Atmospheric Pressure and they absorb [[stormlightStormlight]] from gems by inhalation. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three [[Lashing]]s. These powers were gained by bonding with an [[honorspren]] however there may be other ways to gain these abilities as with [[Szeth]]. The glow of the Windrunners [[Shardplate]] was blue. [[Kaladin]] displayed the ability to ride the [[Highstorm]]s, 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.
