|The Ten Orders of Knights Radiant{{wob ref|13772}}
}}
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 are associated with the sapphire [[polestone]]. They absorbed [[Stormlight]] from gems by inhalation. They formed a [[Nahel Bond]] with [[honorspren]]. The combination of Adhesion and Gravitation resulted in the three [[#Abilities|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.
== Philosophy ==
While each order of Radiants contains a variety of personalities within it, those who join the Windrunners generally subscribe to a philosophy of protection, particularly defending innocents or those who are unable to protect themselves.{{wob ref|13772}} The Order believes in structures of command, team dynamics, and the importance of a squad of brothers and sisters. They tend to attract “big sibling” types, who seek to protect the defenseless, but also enjoy action and fighting for what they believe in.
== Ideals of the Windrunners ==
As a result of both their past as bridge crews in the army of [[Torol Sadeas]] and Kaladin's military training, the refounded order of Windrunners is well organized and maintains a strong military structure.{{book ref|sa3|35}}{{book ref|sa3|121}} The Windrunners' resonance, has led many of the bridgemen, as well as some others, to become squires,{{book ref|sa3|46}}{{book ref|sa3|122}} making the Windrunners one of, if not the, most numerous of the modern orders.
