A '''Nuatoma''' is a leader of an [[Unkalaki]] family clan on [[Roshar]]. [[Rock]] describes them as Horneater equivalent of an [[Alethi]] [[Brightlord]]. The relatives of a nuatoma are his servants. {{book ref|sa1|23}} ▼

It is not clear how an individual becomes ''nuatoma'', although both birth order and heritage are major factors in Unkalaki social standing.{{book ref|sa1|49}}{{book ref|sa3|37}} Since all Unkalaki are [[darkeyes|darkeyed]], eye color is not a consideration.{{book ref|sa1|23}} The relatives of a ''nuatoma'' act as their guards and servants, often performing multiple jobs.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa3|37}} It is implied that a ''nuatoma'' leads each of the [[Horneater Peaks]]. There are occasional skirmishes between peaks, presumably led by the ''nuatoma''.{{book ref|sa1|23}}

When [[Lunamor]] sees [[Phendorana]], who has obvious importance among [[honorspren]], he asks [[Syl]] if Phendorana is like an honorspren ''nuatoma''; because Syl can remember Phendorana berating her for wanting to seek [[Kaladin]], she agrees.{{book ref|sa3|37}}

The lack of Shards among the Unkalaki is a source of embarrassment for the ''nuatoma'', and many have traveled to [[Vedenar]] or [[Alethkar]] offering significant financial incentives in exchange for the chance to duel a [[Shardbearer]] and win a Shard.{{book ref|sa1|23}}{{book ref|sa3|37}} They believe that the first ''nuatoma'' to win a [[Shardblade]] would gain sufficient power to become the first ''tana'kai''—similar to a king{{book ref|sa2|46}}—in many years. Either the respect for a Shardbearer or the fear of an easy defeat would keep the other peaks from skirmishing with a ''nuatoma'' who holds a Shard.{{book ref|sa1|23}}
All of the ''nuatoma'' who have challenged Alethi Shardbearers have been killed.{{book ref|sa1|23}} [[Kef'ha]], Lunamor's ''nuatoma'', chooses to duel [[Torol Sadeas]], believing that it will be easier to win against someone who only possesses [[Shardplate]] first, and then to challenge someone else for their Blade afterwards. He believes that his relatives will simply become servants of House Sadeas if he dies. However, sometime in early {{Rosharan date|1173}}, Sadeas kills Kef'ha without a proper duel and then kills some of his family members who protest before seizing their property anyway.{{book ref|sa3|37}} Sadeas does not know what to do with the surviving Horneaters, but he makes soldiers or servants out of most of them. Lunamor briefly serves as his cook, but he puts [[chull]] dung in Sadeas' food, earning him an assignment to the [[bridge crew]]s.{{book ref|sa1|23}}
After [[Cord]] receives her Shardplate, Lunamor finds it remarkable that their nation's first Shardbearer is not a ''nuatoma'', but a young woman.{{book ref|sa4|12}}
