Template:ShardholderInfobox The Almighty is worshipped as a god on the world of Roshar. At the time of The Way of Kings he is dead and leaves a series of visions received by Dalinar triggered by the highstorms.

He held Honor, one of the shards of Adonalsium.[1] The Almighty was killed by Odium.

Theories

  • Because the Almighty holds Honor, it has been theorized that his original name was Tanavast. Kaladin is addressed as follows in a vision.

Child of Tanavast. Child of Honor. Child of the one long since departed.

—The voice of the vision.[2]

As the Almighty matches the last two requirements, it stands to reason that the first applies to him as well.[3]
