is said to have 10 names, the last being the most holy. Kaladin swears upon this name when promising the safe return of his little brother to their parents. It is likely this tenth name is the same as the name only the Ardents may use.
After the "Final Desolation" and the betrayal of the Radiants. It is said that the Almighty was cast out of the Tranquiline Halls, and left to reside in the hearts of men. This is the reason for the Ardentia. They help the faithful hone the skills of their devotions. These devotions are the task each person chooses, or is given, that will be used during their afterlife to aide in the battle to return the Tranquiline Halls to the Almighty. The most important and common is that of warrior, though the skills range from cooking to music to crafting and various others, warriors are needed the most to fight the forces of Damnation. The usefulness of some of the skills during a battle in the spiritual realm is called into question by a few characters, for instance, being a great cook for an army who will not need to eat, seems a little useless.
The Almighty's relationship to the High Storms is unclear. The name Storm Father is used as the name for the deity that controls, or created the High Storms. It's probably safe to assume the Storm Father and the Almighty are one in the same, but it's not specifically addressed. It is possible though that he could be one of the Heralds, or someone else entirely. Also, during Kaladin's judgement at the hands of the Storm Father, (by being tied outside during a high storm for his attempt to save the men of Bridge 4, by using their bridge as a shield. This attempt left the battle in chaos, and resulted in Kaladin's owner, High Prince Sadeas, being enraged after losing the Gem Heart due to Kaladin's actions.) he sees a face in the approaching storm that looks malevolent, prompting the belief it could be Odium, but later when he speaks to the face in the storm, it appears to be the Almighty. Also, the visions of Dalinar happen only during the High Storms, and during the final vision shown, it is made clear the Almighty is the one who sent/left the visions. Meaning, even if the Almighty didn't create the High Storms, he has at least used them to his benefit.
