Honor is commonly known on [[Roshar]], as God, the '''Almighty''', the creator of mankind. It is suspected that he was in some way responsible for the [[Oathpact]], that bind his [[Herald]]s to fight the [[Voidbringers]]. Sometime after the event referred as the [[Last Desolation]], he was [[Splinter]]ed by [[Odium]]{{ref|?|755|27|Was Honor Splintered by Odium? It is stated in the final vision given to Dalinar, "I am, I was, the Almighty, but Odium has killed me." -Snote85}}, but not before leaving behind a "journal" of sorts - a series of visions, to warn of what he fears to come, the True Desolation, the end of [[Cosmere]] by the hand of Odium.
 
The Almighty is said to have 10 names, the last being the most holy. [[Kaladin]] swears upon this name when promising the return of his little brother [[Tien]] to his parents. It is likely this tenth name is the same as the name only the Ardents may use.
 
After the "FinalLast 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[[devotaries|devotery]]. 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[[Highstorms]] is unclear. The name Storm Father[[Stormfather]] is used as the name for the deity that controls, or created the High Storms. It's probably safe to assumeprobable the Storm FatherStormfather 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(Specifically someone[[Jezrien]], else entirely. Also,as during [[Kaladin's judgement]], atit theis hands of the Storm Fathersaid, (by"that beingKaladin tiedwas outsideto duringbe ajudged high storm for his attempt to saveby the menhighstorm, ofso Bridge 4,as by usingJezrien theirhimself."), bridgeor assomeone aelse shieldentirely. This attempt left the battle in chaosAlso, and resulted induring Kaladin's ownerjudgement, 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.
