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 [[#PowersAbilities|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.
 
== Historical ==
In the time before the Recreance the Windrunners were an Order with over a hundred members,{{book ref|sa1|52}} and a considerable number of squires.{{book ref|sa2|54}} They also reportedly had some issues with the [[order of Skybreakers|order of the Skybreakers]]{{book ref|sa2|54}} At the beginning of the Recreance a large number of Windrunners along with many [[Stonewards]] abandoned their [[Shardblade|Shardblades]] and [[Shardplate|Shardplates]] before the fortress known as "Feverstone Keep".{{book ref|sa1|52}}▼
 
===The Refound Windrunners===▼
During the events of [[Battle of the Tower|the battle at the tower]], bridge captain [[Kaladin]] says his [[Immortal Words|second ideal]] as a Windrunner, allowing him to use his powers freely and to take up squires. This is the beginning of the Refounding of the Knight Radiant order of the Windrunners. later on, the rest of [[Bridge Four]] begin the process of becoming Windrunners, with other bridge crews becoming squires as well. The order is used regularly in [[Urithiru]] for transportation of people and goods and are trained in [[Shattered Plains|The Shattered Plains]].▼
The refound order of Windrunners is well organized and maintains a strong military structure due to the fact that the order came about from bridge crews, originally ran by [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]. The sheer number of bridge crews, along with the Windrunner's resonance, allows for so many people to be Windrunner squires.{{wob ref|date=2014-03-22|6740|Words of Radiance Chicago signing}}▼

{{quote|I will protect those I hate. Even...even if the one I hate most is... ''myself''.| The Third Ideal of the Windrunners (as spoken by Teft){{book ref|sa3|119}}}}
 
=== The Fourth Ideal ===
While this ideal is unknown currently it is probable that, upon achieving this Ideal, a Windrunner gains his Shardplate.{{epigraph ref|sa3|86}} It is hinted to have something to do with choosing to not save people.{{epigraph ref|sa3|86}}
 
Kaladin almost swears this Ideal in Shadesmar, but falters, being unable to swear it.{{book ref|sa3|118}}

[[File:Windrunner.png|Kaladin using Gravitation|thumb|right]]
The Windrunners use the Surges of '''Adhesion''' and '''Gravitation'''. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Someone wearing Shardplate is immune to Lashings, but any objects that they are touching '''can''' be affected.{{book ref|twok|i|9}} Using a combination of Adhesion and Gravitation, a Windrunner could theoretically exit orbit.{{wob ref|5806}}
 
 
;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.
