Honor is well-known among the Rosharan people, and worshipped as a god.{{book ref|sa1|75}} [[Vorinism]] calls him the '''Almighty''' and claims that he's the only deity, considering worship of [[Cultivation]] to be pagan.{{book ref|sa3|29}} He's believed to be the creator of both Roshar and mankindhumanity.{{book ref|sa1|7}} In the Vorin tradition, he has ten names, the last of which, Elithanathile, is only used by [[ardent]]s, the Vorin priests.{{book ref|sa1|7}} It's said he resides in the hearts of all people.{{book ref|sa1|45}} As it's commonly believed that perceiving him directly would cause one to burst into flames from his sheer glory, he's typically represented by a divine prism with ten facets.{{book ref|sa1|7}}{{book ref|sa1|33}}
 
Vorins believe that the Almighty is also responsible for sorting out the dead and deciding on their afterlife. The best possible outcome is to be sent to battle in [[Tranquiline Halls]], the lost paradise, and reclaim it from the [[Voidbringer]]s. To achieve this, one has to pick a Calling - a purpose in life - and a Glory, an aspect of the Almighty that one strives to emulate.{{book ref|sa1|18}}
