[[File:The Fused by jurassicpencil.jpg|thumb|left|300px|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/jurassicpencil|jurassicpencil]]</small></center> A [[Fused]] in the Everstorm]]
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|Thaylen]] ravaged and turned to rubble.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
=== Summoning ===
[[File:Venli-Coad.png|thumb|right|300px|<center><small>by [[Coppermind:Artists/Ashley Coad|Ashley Coad]]</small></center> [[Venli]] in [[stormform]] ]]
The real possibility of summoning a storm was first put forth by [[Venli]] when researching [[stormform]].{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} After assuming the form, Eshonai confirmed it as a possibility, although she either believed or claimed to believe that what she suggested was an ordinary highstorm. Without consulting with the ruling [[Council of Five]], she planned for every able-bodied listener to take on the stormform and call the Everstorm into existence.{{book ref|sa2|i|11}}
