The '''Order of Windrunners''' was an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.
 
The Windrunners were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the two [[Surge]]s of Atmospheric PressureAdhesion and GravityGravitation, and they absorbed [[Stormlight]] 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.

{{quote|Now, as the Windrunners were thus engaged, arose the event which has hitherto been referenced: namely, that discovery of some wicked thing of eminence, though whether it be some rogueries among the Radiants' adherents or of some external origin, Avena would not suggest.

{{quote|There came also sixteen of the order of Windrunners, and with them a considerable number of squires, and finding in that place the Skybreakers dividing the innocent from the guilty, there ensued a great debate.
