The '''Everstorm''' (Alethi: [[File: Kalak.svg|20px]] [[File: Modern zeras.svg|22px]] romanization: ''Kalazeras'', lit. ''Eternal Storm''){{file ref|Alethi_Glyphs_Page_1.jpg|Alethi Glyphs Page 1}} is a powerful weather pattern on [[Roshar]] similar to a [[highstorm]], but one that circles the world in the opposite direction. It
== Description ==
The inside of the Everstorm is completely dark, filled with ash carried by violent winds.{{book ref|sa3|i|6}} This being said, even within a single passing, the conditions within vary greatly. Sometimes, there is no wind, only lightning; other times, it rains, and yet other, burning embers fall from the skies instead.{{book ref|sa3|58}} Where the Everstorm's lightning hits appears to be under either Odium's or some other entity's control, as it's capable of targeting individual buildings.{{book ref|sa3|59}}
Just what commands the Everstorm is uncertain. [[Pattern]] suggests it's a spren of some kind serving Odium.{{book ref|sa2|60}} Odium himself can

The Everstorm
Odium is capable of altering the Everstorm's speed as he desires. He can accelerate it, pushing it to go around the planet in as little as five days. He can also bring it to a full stop and hold it stationary for hours.{{book ref|sa3|111}} The one time the Everstorm was stopped like this, it eventually dissipated, but later returned to round the planet in its usual pattern.{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa3|122}}
{{image|The Fused by jurassicpencil.jpg|side=left|width=300px|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

The Everstorm has numerous magical effects. It attracts [[stormspren]] and, presumably, other [[voidspren]].{{book ref|sa2|81}} It also carries the [[Fused]], souls of long-dead [[singer]]s who serve Odium in numerous lives.{{book ref|sa3|38}} Through an Everstorm, the Fused can possess any singers who open themselves up to them, killing the original mind and replacing it with themselves while retaining

=== Predictions ===
The Everstorm did not exist prior to the [[True Desolation]], although the underlying mechanisms were already in place.{{book ref|sa2|89}} Its arrival was, however, predicted multiple times by the end of the [[Era of Solitude]], both in numerous [[Death Rattle]]s and in [[Dalinar's visions]]. On most
The storm first took shape in [[Shadesmar]] centuries before its arrival in the Physical Realm, and its appearance was partly what drove some spren to begin searching out bonds to refound the [[Knights Radiant]].{{book ref|sa4|73}}{{book ref|sa4|75}}
=== Summoning ===
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}}
As Alethi forces approached [[Narak]], the listeners awaited them and began
The resulting Everstorm arrived from the west and clashed with the highstorm over Narak, leading to widespread destruction. Although Shallan managed to transport most of the Alethi units to [[Urithiru]], sparing them from the worst of the clash, those who did not make it onto the [[Oathgate]] platform in time were killed.{{book ref|sa2|86}}{{book ref|sa3|2}}

The Everstorm then became a new regular fixture of Roshar's weather system, coming in regular nine-day intervals.{{book ref|sa3|35}} In its first passing, it devastated numerous cities in its wake, with particular focus on [[Thaylen City]], which Odium was preparing for an upcoming battle.{{book ref|sa3|58}} It also
