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 [[#Powers|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.
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}}▼

== Ideals of the Windrunners ==
While this ideal is unknown currently it is probable that, upon achieving this Ideal, a Windrunner gains his Shardplate.{{epigraph ref|sa3|86}}
==
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}}
=== Resonance ===
At the end of Words of Radiance, many of the bridgemen who worked under Kaladin were suddenly able to breathe Stormlight and heal.{{book ref|sa2|87}} This occurred after Kaladin swore the third oath. This is also similar to what is seen in [[Dalinar]]'s vision, when a [[Knight Radiant]] and his squad are hunting the [[Purelake]] for an [[Unmade]] before a voidspren protector forms a [[thunderclast]] from the bedrock of the lake.{{book ref|sa2|4}} 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 30 miles of Kaladin, and their maximum distance was 50 miles. The Windrunners' resonance was strength of squires{{wob ref|date=2014-03-22|6740|Words of Radiance Chicago signing}}{{wob ref|date=2016-01-01|3958|General Reddit 2016}}, indicating that had Kaladin been of another order, he would not have been able to make all of Bridge Four his squires.
