In the Alethi variety of Vorinism, warrior is considered the highest Calling, as it leads directly to the fight to reclaim the Tranquiline Halls.{{book ref|sa3|105}}
When it comes to relationships, Vorinism is focused on making and upholding oaths. Breaking oaths, or acting without proper oaths, such as having sex outside of marriage, is frowned upon. However, Vorinism offers a wide variety of partnership oaths for those who do wish to pursue relationships, including some for same-sex couples.{{wob ref|1443}}
=== Belief in Symmetry ===
Symmetry is considered holy in Vorinism. Among others, [[glyph]]s are shaped symmetrically, [[Silver Kingdoms]] have perfectly symmetrical names and many people's names are close to symmetrical. However, people who have names that are actually symmetric are looked down on as "too holy" and therefore blasphemous.{{book
=== Temples ===
In addition, the Vorin religion justifies the cultural divide between the [[Lighteyes]] and [[Darkeyes]], with the former being considered closer to the [[Almighty]] and thus more holy, giving them power over the darkeyed masses.
Vorins are sometimes purposefully named after the Heralds - for example, [[Shallan]] for [[Shalash]] or [[Kaladin]] for [[Kalak]].{{wob ref|333}}
