The '''Windrunner River'''
==Geography==
The Windrunner River is the longest and most prominent river in northern Alethkar, and it defines the borders of several princedoms. Its catchment area spans most of northern Alethkar; the main branch of the river originates from the [[Unclaimed Hills]] near [[Shulin]] and flows northwest until it empties into the [[Bay of Elibath]]. One of its major tributaries flows from the [[Sunmaker Mountains]] and includes several branches that are close to [[Kholinar]]. Other tributaries originate near [[Kelathar]] and [[Tomat]]. The village of [[Hearthstone]] also lies on the river's path.{{map ref|Alethkar}}
In [[Shadesmar]], the river is represented by long, thin peninsulas in the [[Sea of Oracles]], one of which contains [[Candlemore]].{{map ref|Sea of Lost Lights}}
==History==
When [[Kaladin]] flew from [[Urithiru]] to the besieged city of [[Kholinar]] with [[Elhokar]] and his strike team, [[Sylphrena]] informed him that they had passed the Windrunner River to help orient him to their location on the continent.{{book ref|sa3|60}} When Kaladin and Elhokar were later walking towards the city, they passed over the river on a stone bridge, and Elhokar noted that the river was named after Kaladin's prominent Radiant Order.{{book ref|sa3|61}}
After the attempt to free Kholinar failed and most of the team ended up in Shadesmar, they traveled along the narrow strips of land that represented the river in the [[Cognitive Realm]].{{book ref|sa3|89}}
