Difference between revisions of "Everstorm"

Where regular highstorms are products of the [[Stormfather]], a splinter of Honor, the Everstorm is not of Honor. It is of [[Odium]]. The storm travels from west to east, opposite the direction of traditional highstorms. It attracts [[stormspren]] and has the unique physical feature of red lightning.This has obvious and terrible consequences for the other inhabitants of Roshar. Because of the Everstorm's backward path and unexpected summoning, Rosharans will be nearly defenseless against its destruction, as both stormwardens and physical barriers will be useless against it. It is noted that it will round Roshar less frequently than a highstorm. It also has the side effect of releasing Parshman who come in contact with it from Slaveform. The biggest advantage for Odium, however, is the Everstorm allows the Fused (ancient Singers) to be reborn in the next Everstorm when killed instead of returning to Damnation as in past Desolations. The characteristics of the Everstorm can vary greatly even within the same passing, for instance, some reports mention red lighting with no wind, while other reports state that burning embers fell instead of rain.{{book ref|sa3|58}}
