+ | The Everstorm is a paramount threat to [[Roshar]]ans, mainly because of its destructive power and direction of movement. All structures and houses on the continent 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. This makes areas once thought safe, such as [[lait]]s and mountainsides, utterly defenseless.{{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]] ravaged and turned to rubble.{{book ref|sa3|59}} The advent of the Everstorm also threw off the normal highstorm schedule by about four months.{{wob ref|10231}} |
