Intent

Honor seeks to uphold oaths and agreements, and to make things binding.

Associated magic

It is thought that of the thirty types of magic practised on Roshar, ten of them (corresponding to the Knights Radiant) stem from Honor.

Lore

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 Heralds to fight the Voidbringers. Sometime after the event referred as the Last Desolation, he was Splintered by OdiumCite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content, 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.

Vorinism

Honor was also known as the Almighty; worshiped as a god and creator of mankind by Vorin peoples. He was also known as Elithanathile a name only the ardents were allowed to use for the Almighty.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content

He had another name, allowed to pass only the lips of ardents. Elithanathile. He Who Transforms.
