The '''Everstorm''' is a powerful weather pattern on [[Roshar]] similar to a [[highstorm]]. The Everstorm was summoned by Stormform [[Listener|Listeners]] during the [[Battle of Narak]] at the end of the [[War of Reckoning]]. It appears to be referenced as being the same thing as the [[True Desolation]] by [[Honor]] in [[Dalinar]]'s visions, but it is possible the Everstorm is only a part of the True Desolation. According to [[Sylphrena]] it has not been summoned in previous [[Desolation|Desolations]].{{book ref|sa2|89}} Some [[Alethi]] may refer to the storm - or nights when it hits - as the 'Evernight'.{{book ref|sa3|72}}

== Description ==
Where regular highstorms are products of the [[Stormfather]], a splinter of Honor, the Everstorm is not of Honor. It is of [[Odium]]. The storm travels from west to east, opposite the direction of traditional highstorms. It attracts [[stormspren]] and has the unique physical feature of red lightning.This has obvious and terrible consequences for the other inhabitants of Roshar. Because of the Everstorm's backward path and unexpected summoning, Rosharans will be nearly defenseless against its destruction, as both stormwardens and physical barriers will be useless against it. It is noted that it will round Roshar less frequently than a highstorm. It also has the side effect of releasing Parshman who come in contact with it from Slaveform. The biggest advantage for Odium, however, is the Everstorm allows the Fused (ancient Singers) to be reborn in the next Everstorm when killed instead of returning to Damnation as in past Desolations. The characteristics of the Everstorm can vary greatly even within the same passing, for instance, some reports mention red lighting with no wind, while other reports state that burning embers fell instead of rain.{{book ref|sa3|58}}

Where regular [[highstorm]]s are commanded by the [[Stormfather]] and carry with them [[Honor]]'s [[Investiture]], the Everstorm is of [[Odium]]. It travels from west to east, opposite the direction of traditional highstorms.{{book ref|sa2|89}} The Everstorm's clouds are black, and it strikes with red lightning. It lacks a stormwall at the front, and carries neither debris nor [[crem]], only billowing smoke and darkness.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} Vertically, the Everstorm is topped by a layer of clouds. Much like the highstorm, it doesn't reach high enough to threaten [[Urithiru]], though even up there, its passing is accompanied by a wave of unnatural cold.{{book ref|sa3|4}}
   
  +
Past that initial wave, the Everstorm is nearly completely black, filled with ash carried by violent winds.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} This being said, even within a single passing, the conditions within the Everstorm vary greatly. Sometimes, it carried no wind, only lightning; other times, it rains, and yet other, burning embers fall from the skies.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Where the Everstorm's lightning hits appears to be under either Odium's or some other entity's control, as it's capable of targeting individual buildings.{{book ref|sa3|59}}

Just what commands the Everstorm is uncertain. [[Pattern]] suggests it's a spren of some kind serving Odium.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Odium himself can excercise a level of control, stopping the storm at will.{{book ref|sa3|111}} Whether there is some separate entity commanding the Everstorm is left ambiguous, and if such a spren exists, it's yet to make itself known.{{wob ref|12269}}

The Everstorm moves somewhat slower than a highstorm.

Odium is capable of altering the Everstorm's speed as he desires. He can accelerate it, pushing it to go around the planet in as little as five days. He can also halt it to a full stop and hold it in place for hours.{{book ref|sa3|111}} The one time the Everstorm was stopped like this, it eventually dispassated, but later return to round the planet in its usual pattern.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa3|122}}

  +
The Everstorm is a paramount threat to the inhabitants of Roshar, mainly because of its destructive power and direction opposite to highstorm. All structures and houses on Roshar are built in a way that protects them from the westward-blowing [[highstorm]]s, while allowing for lesser protection on the leeward side -- the very side the Everstorm now strikes from. Areas once thought safe, such as [[lait]]s and mountainsides, are utterly defenseless against a force as potent as an Everstorm blowing east.{{book ref|sa3|5}} The consequences of this are readily apparent after just a single passing of the Everstorm, with once-wonderous cities like [[Thaylen City|Thaylen]] ravaged and turned to rubble.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
  +
  +
When the Everstorm and the highstorm clash, the effects are even more destructive, as the two storms feed from each other, becoming more and more powerful until they pass by and return to normal.{{wob ref|9192}} Swathes of terrain can be destroyed, with entire plateaus of rock launched high into the sky.{{book ref|sa2|86}} To be on the ground when the two storms meet is a death sentence.{{book ref|sa3|4}} Fortunately for Rosharans, after the [[Battle of Narak]] the two storms never clash over populated areas, either accidentally or by Stormfather's design.{{book ref|sa3|37}}
  +
  +
The Everstorm has numerous magical effects.

They call for a storm. My opposite. Deadly.

—The Stormfather to Dalinar during the Battle of Narak. [1]

The Everstorm is a powerful weather pattern on Roshar similar to a highstorm, but one that circles the world in the opposite direction. It has been summoned by stormform listeners during the Battle of Narak at the end of the War of Reckoning.[2] The period in which it passes over a given area is sometimes referred to as the 'Evernight'.[3]

Description

Where regular highstorms are commanded by the Stormfather and carry with them Honor's Investiture, the Everstorm is of Odium. It travels from west to east, opposite the direction of traditional highstorms.[2] The Everstorm's clouds are black, and it strikes with red lightning. It lacks a stormwall at the front, and carries neither debris nor crem, only billowing smoke and darkness.[4] Vertically, the Everstorm is topped by a layer of clouds. Much like the highstorm, it doesn't reach high enough to threaten Urithiru, though even up there, its passing is accompanied by a wave of unnatural cold.[5]

Past that initial wave, the Everstorm is nearly completely black, filled with ash carried by violent winds.[4] This being said, even within a single passing, the conditions within the Everstorm vary greatly. Sometimes, it carried no wind, only lightning; other times, it rains, and yet other, burning embers fall from the skies.[6] Where the Everstorm's lightning hits appears to be under either Odium's or some other entity's control, as it's capable of targeting individual buildings.[7]

Just what commands the Everstorm is uncertain. Pattern suggests it's a spren of some kind serving Odium.[8] Odium himself can excercise a level of control, stopping the storm at will.[9] Whether there is some separate entity commanding the Everstorm is left ambiguous, and if such a spren exists, it's yet to make itself known.[10]

Frequency

The Everstorm moves somewhat slower than a highstorm. It takes roughly nine days to circle the entire globe, and three to cross the Rosharan continent.[11][12] This being said, its time of arrival does fluctuate slightly, and precise predictions can be inaccurate. Fortunately, its high visibility and slow movement give the people of Roshar plenty of time to seek shelter.[13] It is not yet clear whether the Everstorm's frequency is affected by the time of the year or other variables.

Odium is capable of altering the Everstorm's speed as he desires. He can accelerate it, pushing it to go around the planet in as little as five days. He can also halt it to a full stop and hold it in place for hours.[9] The one time the Everstorm was stopped like this, it eventually dispassated, but later return to round the planet in its usual pattern.[14][15]

Influence and Magic

The Everstorm is a paramount threat to the inhabitants of Roshar, mainly because of its destructive power and direction opposite to highstorm. All structures and houses on Roshar are built in a way that protects them from the westward-blowing highstorms, while allowing for lesser protection on the leeward side -- the very side the Everstorm now strikes from. Areas once thought safe, such as laits and mountainsides, are utterly defenseless against a force as potent as an Everstorm blowing east.[16] The consequences of this are readily apparent after just a single passing of the Everstorm, with once-wonderous cities like Thaylen ravaged and turned to rubble.[7]

Finally, the Everstorm releases any Parshmen who come into contact with it from slaveform, restoring their Identity and Connection.[22] Such reawakened singers take on a non-slave form. What form this is appears to be random, although they seem to all be ordinary ones rather than Odium-fuelled Regal forms.[23]

History

The Everstorm. It is a new thing, but old of design.

Predictions

The Everstorm did not exist prior to the True Desolation, although the underlying mechanisms were already in place.[2] Its arrival was, however, predicted multiple times by the end of the Era of Solitude, both in numerous Death Rattles and in Dalinar's visions. On most occassions, it was listed alongside with the True Desolation and the Night of Sorrows.[24][25] Renarin likewise had numerous visions about the Everstorm's arrival, though without its name, complete with a precise countdown to its coming.[26]

Summoning

The real possibility of summoning a storm was first put forth by Venli when researching stormform.[27] After assuming the form, Eshonai confirmed it as a possibility, although she either believed or claimed to believe that what she suggested was an ordinary highstorm. Without consulting with the ruling Council of Five, she planned for every able-bodied listener to take on the stormform and call the Everstorm into existence.[28]

As Alethi forces approached Narak, the listeners awaited them and began singing a song that would summon the Everstorm. Rlain warned Dalinar that it mustn't be allowed to be finished under any circumstances, leading Dalinar to order Adolin to stop it.[20] Adolin and his forces launched an attack on the listeners leading the song, and although they managed to slaughter the singers and defeat Eshonai, they were too late.[1]

The resulting Everstorm arrived from the west and clashed with the highstorm over Narak, leading to widespread destruction. Although Shallan managed to transport most of the Alethi units to Urithiru, sparing them from the worst of the clash, those who did not make it onto the Oathgate platform in time were killed.[18][29]

True Desolation

The Everstorm then became a new regular fixture of Roshar's weather system, coming in regular nine-day intervals.[12] In its first passing, it devastated numerous cities in its wake, with particular focus on Thaylen City, which Odium was preparing for an upcoming battle.[6] It also broke the Parshmen out of slaveform and, in subsequent passings, allowed the Fused to enter the Physical Realm.[22][4]

Odium brought the Everstorm with him to the Battle of Thaylen Field, using it to bring his fleet closer to the Thayeln shore before stopping it just out of the city.[9] Following the battle, the Everstorm dissipated, although it later returned back to its regular cycle.[14][15]
