Difference between revisions of "Origin"

As the presumptive source of highstorms, the Origin is hugely important to Rosharans. The nature of the flora and fauna on Roshar is heavily influenced by local climates that are dominated by the storms, which are strongest in the east where they make landfall.{{wob ref|5701}} Many buildings, particularly those in eastern Roshar, have features such as doors, balconies, patios, and gardens facing away from the Origin, so as to protect them from storm winds and debris.{{book ref|sa2|46}}{{book ref|sa2|49}}This Inarrangement contrast,is theso tower-citycommon ofthat [[Urithiru]]people hasmay afeel talluneasy columnin ofspaces windowsthat directly facingface the Origin.{{book ref|sa2|49}} However, possiblesome onlyhumans becauseand it'[[singer]]s, locatednotably above[[Dalinar]]{{book theref|sa1|12}}{{book storms.ref|sa4|57}} and [[Eshonai]],{{book ref|sa2|i|104}}{{book ref|sa4|81}} often gaze towards the Origin in contemplation.

There is some disagreement on Roshar as to the Origin's true nature. While ancient myths state that every [[highstorm]] begins there, modern [[stormwarden]]s believe that a single highstorm continuously circles the planet.{{book ref|sa2|87}} However, the term "Origin of Storms" is used by both humans and [[listener]]s, and the belief that the storms originate there is still widely held.{{book ref|sa2|49}}{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} According to [[Lirin]], there have been a few attempts to sail east to the Origin, but of all the ships to set out for it, none have ever returned.{{book ref|sa1|16}}
