Around the same time, the Stormfather began sending out his visions. While there were less than ten people to have received them, the only ones known are [[Gavilar]] and [[Dalinar Kholin]].{{wob ref|12268}} Gavilar began seeing them shortly before his death, although he interpreted them far differently than they were supposed to be.{{wob ref|3316}} This led indirectly to the creation of the [[Diagram (literature)|Diagram]], as well as Gavilar's cooperation with the [[Sons of Honor]] in a bid to bring the [[Herald]]s back, even if it meant starting a new Desolation.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}{{book ref|sa2|88}}
Following Gavilar's death, the Stormfather began sending his visions to the younger brother. This led to Dalinar's reputation in the [[Alethi]] warcamps plummeting, but also to him beginning to research the Desolations and making the first attempt at truly uniting Alethkar.{{book ref|sa1|12}} At the same time, as [[Kaladin]] was bonding Syl, the Stormfather was keeping an eye on him. When Kaladin was strung up by to face his judgement by [[Torol Sadeas|Sadeas]]' orders, the Stormfather appeared, as if observing him, although Kaladin later assumed it was a delirious hallucination.{{book ref|sa1|34}}
The Stormfather later visited Kaladin directly in a dream, where the two had a conversation. He accused Kaladin of being a traitor, and shared his belief that humans couldn't be trusted.{{book ref|sa2|32}} His predictions seemingly came true when Kaladin killed Syl by breaking his bond.{{book ref|sa2|69}} Stormfather visited him in a subsequent highstorm to tell him that she was dead and that Kaladin would never [[Surgebind]] again. While he let [[Shallan]] see him as well, he didn't speak with her.{{book ref|sa2|74}}
During the [[Battle of Narak]], the Stormfather spoke to Dalinar out of a vision, claiming that the Alethi were lost, and promising to send a highstorm to sweep away their bodies. At the same time, Syl began to regain her consciousness, and so the Stormfather departed to stop her from re-bonding Kaladin.{{book ref|sa2|83}} Despite his best efforts, Syl succeeded, and the Stormfather reluctantly conceded allowing her to restore her bond.{{book ref|sa2|84}}
Following the battle, Dalinar climbed to the top of [[Urithiru]] to speak with him. The Stormfather answered, explaining the [[Everstorm]] and Honor's death, whereupon Dalinar attempted to bond him. Though initially, the Stormfather was hostile to the idea, he eventually agreed once Dalinar said the [[Immortal Words]], although under the stipulation that Dalinar would wield no [[Shardblade|Shards]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
