=== Origins and Old Vorinism ===
Though the origins of Vorinism are lost to the [[Shadowdays]], it's known that the name "[[Almighty]]" was used to refer to [[Honor]] even back during the [[Desolation]]s -- in fact, it might predate human arrival on [[Roshar]], as it was used even by the [[Herald]]s themselves.{{book ref|sa1|19}}{{book ref|sasa1|part=prelude}} The Vorin religion came about around that time, basing itself on writings of a currently-unknown, but highly influential writer whom it was eventually named after.{{wob ref|12365}} [[Nohadon]] was another important figure during that time, and ''[[The Way of Kings (in-world)|The Way of Kings]]'' he penned was one of Vorinism's early holy texts.{{book ref|sa1|53}}
 
Back in the early days of the religion, now called '''Old Vorinism''', the [[Knights Radiant]] were an important part of the faith, and [[Immortal Words#The First Ideal|the First Ideal]] was a religious doctrine. The primary tenet of the faith, as far as can be ascertained, was that how one lived was far more important than what one had accomplished. Religion premeated every aspect of life, allowing the ardents to own land and property.{{book ref|sa1|53}}
