The Unkalaki are organised in clan-like social structures. The leaders of these clans are called [[Nuatoma]]. The relatives of a Nuatoma serve him and act as his household. Nuatomas regularly leave the Horneater homeland in attempts to win [[Shard]]s in duels with Shardbearers. The first Nuatoma who could win a Shardblade would become the king of the Unkalaki.{{book ref|sa1|23}}

{{quote| The nuatoma, they see our lack of Shards as a great shame. They want these weapons very badly. It is believed that the nuatoma who first obtains a Shardblade would become king, a thing we have not had for many years. No peak would fight another peak where a man held one of the blessed Blades.|Rock to [[Kaladin]] and [[Teft]]{{book ref|sa1|23}}}}

It is unclear if Nuatomas are fourth sons or if their position excludes them from the normal profession system.
 
Some Horneaters are born with the ability to see normally invisible [[spren]] like [[Sylphrena]]. These individuals are called ''alaii’ikualaii'iku''.{{book ref|twok|21}}
 
At one point, [[Rock]] tells [[Bridge Four]] about the Unkalaki dueling system, saying that the two men would drink [[mudbeer]] and sing until one of them gives up. The point is that by the end of the duel, no one will recall why they were fighting.{{book ref|sa1|27}}
 
== Cuisine ==
 
The Unkalaki received their common name "Horneaters" due to their ability to eat the hard shells of crustaceans. [[Rock]] ascribes this ability to their unusually strong teeth. Unkalaki cuisine utilizes less spices than [[Alethi]] cuisine.{{book ref|sa1|23}}

Horneater lager has the reputation to melt teeth and cups. {{book ref|sa2|46}}
Rock tells members of [[Bridge Four]] the story of how the Unkalaki claimed the Horneater Peaks.
 
The Unkalaki were at the brink of extinction due to their belligerent nature at that time. They had a leader called ''tana’kaitana'kai'', who talked to the three most powerful gods on Roshar and asked them for shelter. They were the gods of the trees, the waters and the mountains respectively.
 
Both the god of the trees and the god of the waters refuse to give them shelter since they could not guarantee the safety of the Unkalaki. The god of the mountains does not outright decline the request but tells the ''tana’kaitana'kai'' that his slopes are places only for spirits and they could not sustain life.
The ''tana’kaitana'kai'' solves the dilemma by asking the god of the waters to place lakes on the peaks of the mountains, the mountain god to heat them with his thermal energy from the deeps of the earth and the god of the forests to bring edible plants to the now habitable areas on the mountain peaks. The gods were pleased with this solution and the Horneaters moved to the peaks.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
