'''Honor''' is one of the sixteen [[Shard]]s of [[Adonalsium]], and one of the three, alongside [[Cultivation]] and [[Odium]], present in the [[Rosharan system]]. The original Vessel of Honor was called [[Tanavast]]
== Intent ==
== Associated magic ==
=== Stormlight ===
[[Stormlight]] is a gaseous form of [[Investiture]] associated with Honor. It was not created by him, as a proto-version of it existed prior to his arrival on [[Roshar]], but in the present day, it has been subsumed into him.{{wob ref|9266}} The largest [[splinter]] of Honor, [[Stormfather]], is responsible for creating and maintaining the [[highstorm]]s that bring stormlight.{{book ref|sa2|83}}{{wob ref|5991}}
Stormlight is crucial to Rosharan ecosystem. Numerous animals form bonds with lesser [[spren]], which most likely require stormlight as fuel. Moreover, large quantities of stormlight are necessary for [[singer]]s to change forms.{{book ref|sa2|i|5}} In [[Shadesmar]], spren derive susteinance from stormlight.{{book ref|sa1|101}} While humans do not normally utilize stormlight themselves, its presence makes them significantly more healthy.{{wob ref|912}}
=== Surgebinding ===
[[Surgebinding]] is a magic system derived from both Honor and [[Cultivation]].{{wob ref|1640}} To utilize it, a person must bond a higher spren, a sentient [[splinter]] that is composed of the two Shards' Investitures in some proportion. Afterwards, this allows the person to inhale stormlight and use it to control [[Surge]]s, a set of ten fundamental forces, although a single spren bond allows access to only two of them.{{wob ref|7663}} Some bonds favor Honor, and others Cultivation, although the proportion, and whether there are Surges "purely" of one or the other, is still under speculation.{{wob ref|10649}}
