The Origin of Storms is where highstorms are formed. Rosharians believe that it exists far to the east, possibly across or in the Ocean of Origins.[1]
In the story Hoid tells to Kaladin, Derethil and the Wandersail, there is thought to be another Origin to the west, where the Voidbringers were spawned. King Derethil, sailing far to the west, finds a whirlpool where the ocean drains ringed by islands populated by the Uvara people.[2]
In the first Oathbringer interlude, Puuli references "the sailors lost on an infinite sea" who "come from the hidden island of the Origin." His grandfather believed these men from the Origin would "come with Light in their pockets" and "to destroy."
Speculation
The origin is thought to be Honor's shardpool, though this is only speculation at this time.[citation needed]
