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 Adhesion and Gravitation, and they absorbed [[Stormlight]] from gems by inhalation. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three [[Lashing]]sLashings. These powers were gained by [[Nahel Bond|bonding]] with an [[honorspren]]. [[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.

===Basic LashingAdhesion===
;Full Lashing:
Using the Full Lashing, a Surgebinder can pool Stormlight into an area. All objects that subsequently touch this area will be bonded to the object, sticking them there and hindering their movement. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out.
 
===Gravitation===
;Basic Lashing:
The Basic Lashing allows a Surgebinder to bind people or objects to different surfaces or in different directions, effectively changing the direction that gravity pulls them.
 
===Full;Reverse Lashing===:
Using the Full Lashing, a Surgebinder can pool Stormlight into an area. All objects that subsequently touch this area will be bonded to the object, sticking them there and hindering their movement. The bond ends when the Stormlight runs out.
 
===Reverse Lashing===
By using the Reverse Lashing, a Surgebinder can increase the gravitational pull of an object, allowing them to subtly pull nearby objects toward it. The Surgebinder must maintain contact with the object to Reverse Lash it.
 
===Other abilities===
;Stormriding:
[[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|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.
