m (→‎The Story of the Horneater Peaks: more pluralizing how Rock did)
The Unkalaki were at the brink of extinction due to their belligerent nature at that time. They had a leader called ''tana'kai'' who talked to the three most powerful kinds of gods on Roshar and asked them for shelter. They were the gods of the trees, the waters, and the mountains respectively.{{book ref|sa2|46}}
 
Both the gods of the trees and the gods of the waters refuse to give them shelter since they cannot guarantee the safety of the Unkalaki. The gods of the mountains do not outright decline the request but tell the ''tana'kai'' that his slopes are places only for spirits, and they cannot sustain life. The ''tana'kai'' solves the dilemma by asking the gods of the waters to place lakes on the peaks of the mountains, the mountain gods to heat them with histheir thermal energy from the deepsdepths of the earth, and the gods 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}}
 
Whether these three sets of gods are related to the three [[Shard]]s on Roshar is unknown.
