Devin is an average Eruntu who seeks to become a Guard of house Sserin, but to do so, he must come at least fourth in an annual race organized by the Guards. Each man can attempt the race three years in a row. The first two years, Devin fails, and is instead sent to work in the orchards his village is famous for. Over time, he comes to appreciate the work, and grows unwilling to join the Guard. However, though he fails his third race, the Kkoloss in charge decides to take all of the boys, him included. As it turns out, all villages have been drafted like this, and, in a further break from the tradition, they don't swear the Oath that would give them the Sserin Kkell power, superhuman strength.

Devin's cellmates in prison are Skeer, a would-be revolutionary preaching for Eruntu to throw off the Kkoloss yoke, and Ix, a strange creature that makes a point of reasserting that he is, indeed, human, at every opportunity. The three of them witness the Sserin gathering and killing the entire house Kkeris, including Vevinn, in hopes of gaining their Kkell, Skill . However, it's Devin who suddenly finds himself able to learn new things in the blink of an eye. He picks the lock, frees the other prisoners and fights the Sserin Guards, and his little group flees. Out in the woods, they splinter, until only seven remain - Devin, Seer, Ix and four imprisoned Guards - Hine, Voko, Ralan and Meeve. Skeer promises to lead them to the Eruntu Rebellion, which ends up blamed for the slaughter.

Devin's group, now with Vvenna in tow, return to Quin's group. Quin and Devin confront each other and Devin kills Quin, then takes charge of the rebels. Shortly afterwards, Ralan reveals to him that he has two Kkell powers - Sserin Strength and Ddoven Repulsion, due to having deserted from Ddoven forces. Devin agrees to keep it a secret. Over the next two weeks, he reequips themthe rebels and begins sending out scouts. Voko is one of them, and informs him that Vvenna has been replaced.

Devin mourns Hine and declares that he intends to overthrow the entire church, including the Emperor. As his group considers their next actions, Ralan reveals that rather than an Eruntu with two powers, he's Kkoloss from house Ddoven who's been hiding out among the Sserin Guards. He promises that if the rebels can get to the mainland, he getcan find them allies among his kin.

The ''Mythwalker'' magic system is called the Kkell powers. Every Kkoloss bloodline has its own magic, different for men and women.{{url ref| url=https://brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-two/|text=Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Two|site=https://brandonsanderson.com}} A single bloodline has a limited sum total of power, meaning that as the family grows larger, the power becomes more spread out. By contrast, if there are few members of the family, they will become extremely powerful. However, the power doesn't spread evenly - the Kkoloss families are divided into Septs, and each Sept holds less Kkell power than the one above it. The Sept one belongs to appears to be based on the proximity to the King or Queen, the leaders - and, by extension, most powerful members - of the house. Should a powerful member of the family die, those of lower Septs will gain more power.{{url ref|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-five/|text=Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Five|site=https://brandonsanderson.com}}

Kkell powers can be bestowed without a blood relation. An archpriest can adopt a person into another house, giving them access to a bloodline; should a King or Queen be adopted, their new house gains their Kkell power. Coversely, by rejecting Hess, a Kkoloss can rid themselves of the power. While they have no power of their own, the Eruntu can take a Kkell Oath, which grants them the power of the Kkoloss house they swore it to, at the cost of forbidding them from ever striking a member of said house. The power gained in this way cannot be discarded.{{url ref|url=https://brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-twenty-one/|text=Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Twenty-One|site=https://brandonsanderson.com}}

There are few limitations to the Kkell power: the user's Sept sets the maximum strength with which it can be used, and the power cannot be used while unconscious.{{url ref| url=https://brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-prime-mythwalker-chapter-eleven/|text=Warbreaker Prime: Mythwalker Chapter Eleven|site=https://brandonsanderson.com}}

* The religious theocracy oppressing the lower caste,

* The names [[Skaa]] and Kkoloss (asmodified to [[Koloss]]),

* Vvenna's Kkell power of altering her weight (which became iron [[Feruchemy]]), and the Sserin power of gaining Strength (which became steelpewter Feruchemy). The Ddoven Repulsion power has some similarities to steel [[Allomancy]].

* A side character who pretends to be a member of the lower caste while belongbelonging to the higher (Ralan vs. [[Breeze]]),

=== In ''[[The Stormlight Archive]]'' ===

* The differences in eye colourcolor between social classes (Kkoloss have colourfulcolorful eyes while Eruntu's are dun),

* The pattern of double consonants in names, although in ''Warbreaker'' it was altered slightly to make it easier to read (ex. Vvenna vs. Vivenna),

* The small seizures that Devin suffers whenever he acquires a new skill are the very similar to the seizures caused by suddenly acquiring a lot of [[Breath]],
