In the [[Vorin]] religion, the Weeping is supposed to be a time for self-reflection and contemplating the [[Almighty]].{{book ref|sa2|80}} In [[Yeddaw]], the Weeping is celebrated by eating the city's ten famous pancakes.{{book ref|sa2.5|2}} [[Urithiru]], in turn, isn't affected by the Weepings, as the tower stands far above the clouds.{{book ref|sa2|87}}
The prolonged period of no highstorms leads to a lack of [[Stormlight]]. Rosharans try to preserve it throughout by using enormous gems capable of storing vast amounts of it, with a specific, multi-faceted cut that further prolongs the Stormlight retention. Despite that, few gemstones make it to the next highstorm still infused.{{book ref|sa2|81}} A [[perfect gemstone]] could keep Stormlight for that long, but those are extremely rare.{{book ref|sa3|99}} The lack of highstorms also presents a problem to the [[singer]]s, as they cannot change forms without them.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
