After the "Last 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 [[devotaries|devotary]]. 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 [[highstormshighstorm]]s is unclear. The name [[Stormfather]] is used as the name for the deity that controls, or creates the highstorms. It's probable the Stormfather 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 (specifically [[Jezrien]], as during [[Kaladin#Kaladin's_Judgement|Kaladin's judgement]], it is said, "that Kaladin was to be judged by the highstorm, so as by Jezrien himself."), or someone else entirely. Also, during Kaladin's judgement, 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 [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] of [[Dalinar]] happen only during the highstorms, 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 highstorms, he has at least used them to his benefit.
 
During Dalinar's final vision, he asks who the person speaking to him is, the person responds, "I am, I was the Almighty, but Odium has killed me."{{ref|b|twok|c|75}}
