| I think life '''is''' fair. It's merely that often, you can’t immediately see what balances it."
| Nohadon in [[Dalinar]]'s vision{{book ref|sa3|103}}
}}
'''Nohadon''' was a historic [[Roshar]]an king who lived during the [[Heraldic Epochs]]. He's most famous as the author of [[The Way of Kings (in-world)|''The Way of Kings'']], a philosophical treatise in the form of a travel journal.{{book ref|twok|18}}
Nohadon is implied to have been an absolute monarch.{{book ref|sa1|26}} The ability to completely rebuild a ruined kingdom over several decades implies considerable amount of administrative talent. Additionally, he was capable of projecting military power across vast distances, and could take a scout group all the way to the foothills of the [[Misted Mountains]].{{book ref|sa3|103}}
He was a [[Surgebinder]] from a young age, though his [[spren]] is never seen and his order is unknown.{{book ref|sa1|60}} Nonetheless, he possessed enough ability to easily survive a jump from a considerable height without breaking a sweat. He also appears to have some knowledge of [[Realmatic Theory]], as he educates Dalinar on the existence and nature of [[Physical Realm|Physical]], [[Cognitive Realm|Cognitive]] and [[Spiritual Realm]]s in a vision.{{book ref|sa3|103}}
Most famously, Nohadon was a philosopher-king. His best-known work is ''[[The Way of Kings (in-world) | The Way of Kings]]'', but it's implied that he wrote several other texts on logic and philosophy.{{book ref|sa1|5}}
He was also a gifted haggler, and knew how to make Shin loaf bread, both of which were apparently his hobbies.{{book ref|sa3|103}}
It's highly possible that Nohadon had a hand in organizing the [[Surgebinder]]s into the [[Knights Radiant]], as the ancient Knights were said to have based their philosophies and ideals off ''The Way of Kings''.{{book ref|twok|59}}
He's one of the few people to ever be praised by the [[Stormfather]], with the great spren considering him to be "a good man".{{book ref|sa3|28}}
