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 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 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.

Windrunners and the Surges of Atmospheric Pressure and Gravity

The Windrunners use the Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have contentCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

Basic Lashing

Changes the Gravity of a person or object.

Gives the user the ability to bind people or objects to different surfaces or in different directions.

Full Lashing

Binds objects together, until the Stormlight runs out.

Reverse Lashing

Gives the thing that is being touched be the Surgebinder a gravitational pull.
