The '''Order of Windrunners''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{epigraph ref|sa2|54}}
 
The Windrunners were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the [[Surge]]s of Adhesion and Gravitation, and they absorbed [[Stormlight]] from gems by inhalation. They formed a [[Nahel Bond]] with [[honorspren]]. The combination of Adhesion and Gravitation resulted in the three [[#Abilities|Lashings]]. [[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.
 
== Ideals of the Windrunners ==
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiants lived. The First Ideal, identical for all orders of the Radiants, is used as their motto. The following four Ideals were unique to the Windrunners. By the end of ''Words of RadianceOathbringer'', three Ideals are known (including the First Ideal).
 
=== The First Ideal ===
 
;Reverse Lashing:
By using the Reverse Lashing, a Surgebinder can increase the gravitational pull of an object, allowing themthe toinfused subtlyobject to pull nearby objects toward it. The Surgebinder must maintain contact with the object to Reverse Lash it. Items that are airborne are pulled more strongly towards the infused object.
 
=== Resonance ===
Due to a combination of their two surges, Windrunners have new, secondary effects, known as athe [[Resonance]].{{wob ref|3625}} The Windrunners' Resonance is strength of squires,{{wob ref|6740}}{{wob ref|915}}, which allows them to have many more squires compared tothan other Orders. After Kaladin swore the third oath, many of the bridgemen who worked under Kaladinhim were suddenly able to breathe Stormlight and heal.{{book ref|sa2|87}} Later, Kaladin trains the bridgemen in sucking in Stormlight and using Lashings. However, their abilities are only present when Kaladin is nearby. [[Sigzil]] noted that they could use Stormlight effectively within 30thirty miles of Kaladin, and their maximum distance was 50fifty miles.{{cite}} SylSquires haswill alsolose confirmedaccess thatto Kaladin'stheir preternaturalpowers skillin withan weapons,hour evidentor sincetwo after the firstWindrunner time he picked up a quarterstaff as a boy, comes from their bondleaves.{{citebook ref|sa3|55}}
