== Philosophy ==
Those who join the Windrunners generally subscribe to a philosophy of protection, particularly defending innocents or those who are unable to protect themselves.{{wob ref|13772}}{{book ref|sa1|67}}{{book ref|sa3|121}} The order believes in structures of command, team dynamics, and the importance of a strong squad.{{wob ref|14098}}{{book ref|sa3|121}} They are very militaristic by nature.{{wob ref|10320}}{{wob ref|16437}} They tend to attract those who seek to protect the defenseless, but also enjoy action and fighting for what they believe in.{{wob ref|13772}}
== Ideals of the Windrunners ==
The Windrunners use the Surges of '''Adhesion''' and '''Gravitation'''. The combination of these two Surges resulted in the three Lashings.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}{{book ref|sa1|part=ars}} Someone wearing Shardplate is immune to Lashings, but any objects that they are touching '''can''' be affected.{{book ref|sa1|i|9}} Using a combination of Adhesion and Gravitation, a Windrunner could theoretically exit orbit.{{wob ref|5806}} They have been noted as having traveled at at least 200 mph.{{book ref|sa4|111}}{{ref|text=However, even with a triple Lashing and a continuous source of Stormlight that may be nearly their practical limit against wind resistance.{{book ref|sa4|9}}|group=note}} While flying, Windrunners are able to lessen the force of the wind, and can also create a channel to keep groups of people close together.{{book ref|sa3|60}}
Like most Knights Radiant, the Windrunners have squires,
Unlike other Radiant orders, Windrunners will "explode with power" when they speak oaths, due to their order's proximity to the [[Order of Bondsmiths]].{{wob ref|8220}}
