The Skybreakers are [[Surgebinder]]s who use the [[Surge]]s of Gravitation and Division.{{17s ref|topic|4323|text=Seattle Signing Report|date=10/14/2013}} They form a [[Nahel Bond]] with [[highspren]].{{book ref|sa2|59}} They are widely thought of as fanatics in both Shadesmar and the physical realm. Highspren is usually used as a derogatory term.{{cite}} The Skybreakers were the only Radiant Order not to have abandoned their oaths on the Day of Recreance, and continued to operate in secret until the present day.
They were the last order to be accepted by their chosen [[Herald]], Nalan'Elin,{{epigraph ref|sa2|43}} and also the only one where the patron Herald became a Knight Radiant.{{book ref|sa3|106}}▼
They also reportedly had some issues with the [[Windrunners]]. [[Sylphrena]], an [[honorspren]], mentioned to [[Kaladin]] that "Laws don't matter. What's right matters." [[Highspren]] and, through them, the Skybreakers judge and dispense justice according to the letter of the law and what may make logical sense to them, while the Windrunners will disregard these laws or logic at their letter to do what is considered right. This is further supported when [[Kaladin]] tells [[Sylphrena]] that he'll "find his own justice" in regards to [[Amaram]], and she cautions that he's "not a [[Skybreaker]]," and that he's "not supposed to be like [that]."{{book ref|sa2|22}}▼

; Surgebinding
The Skybreakers are able use the Surges of '''Gravitation''' and '''Division'''.
; Other Skills
They reportedly had the ability (unrelated to their Surges) to divide the innocent from the guilty that was by some even considered to be an almost divine skill.{{book ref|sa2|55}} However, they do not have any supernatural abilities in determining a person's guilt{{wob ref|date=2017-11-13|8208|Oathbringer release party}}, so this appears to be some combination of mundane experience and exaggerations in folklore.
