(→Culture: changed "at birth" to "by birth order", since siblings explicitly change professions if they lose elder brothers, and occupation is therefore not fixed at birth; added a note that we don't really know how daughters fit in. (It's possible that Alethi sexism meant Rock used "sons" instead of "children", a la Sigzil's complaints about having to explain lighteyes that don't have light eyes, or daughters might have some as-yet-unstated other role)) |

The '''Horneaters''', or '''Unkalaki'''{{book ref|sa1|14}} as they refer to themselves, are a race of people on the world of [[Roshar]]. They live on the tops of mountains called [[Horneater Peaks]]. They currently have no [[Shardplate]] or [[Shardblade]]s.{{book ref|sa1|23}} They are one of several races on Roshar with [[listener]] blood in their ancestry.{{wob ref|930}} As a result, they have a higher tendency to be asexual than other races without listener ancestors.{{wob ref|3400}} Furthermore, they seem to be able to faintly hear the Rhythms{{book ref|sa3|37}}, although it remains unclear whether they are able to distinguish them or attribute them to certain feelings. Features that are often associated with Horneaters are pale skin, tall stature, and red hair. {{book ref|sa2|69}}
