'''Honor''' is one of the sixteen [[Shard]]s of [[Adonalsium]]. The person that originally held the Shard Honor was called [[Tanavast]], but following his death, Honor was [[Splinter|Splintered]].{{qa ref|755|27|Was Honor Splintered by Odium?}}

 

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

 

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

 

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]], 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.{{qa ref|666|3|Was the Almighty still alive when the Heralds packed it in?}}{{qa ref|755|27|Was Honor Splintered by Odium?}}

 

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.
