'''Ardents''' are priests of [[Vorinism]] in [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1||7}} Since the [[Hierocracy]] the ardents have been forbidden from participating in politics, owning possessions, and are themselves the property of [[lighteyeLighteye]]s. Like Parshmen, Ardents are not paid for work. They are the only people allowed to use the Almighty's other name ''Elithanathile'' or He Who Transforms. Many male ardents had shaved heads and long beards, most ardents dress in grey robes.
 
Ardents are exempt from many customs in [[Alethkar]], especially gender-specific customs. Female ardents are not required to cover their [[safehand]] and are allowed to eat both masculine and feminine foods. Male ardents can learn to read and pursue other feminine arts.
