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 was summoned by [[stormform]] [[listener]]s during the [[Battle of Narak]] at the end of the [[War of Reckoning]].{{book ref|sa2|89}} The period in which it passes over a given area is sometimes referred to as the '''Evernight'''.{{book ref|sa3|72}}
== 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}}
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 occasions, it was listed alongside with the True Desolation and the Night of Sorrows.{{book ref|sa1|5}}{{book ref|sa1|75}} [[Renarin]] likewise had numerous visions about the Everstorm's arrival, though without its name, complete with a precise countdown to its coming.{{book ref|sa2|4}}
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}}
