Gods Who Sleep Not
also known as The Gods Who Sleep Not
The Horneater name for a class of god, distinct from the gods that are spren and the gods that are people — single-minded beings whose body is a creeping swarm of cremlings. Cord tells Rysn that they are not evil, only extremely secretive, that they have always walked Roshar in this form, and that they guard powerful, terrible treasures behind trials and tests. SA:DS:Ch 8
