The Order of Truthwatchers was an order of the Knights Radiant on Roshar.
The Truthwatchers were Surgebinders who used the two Surges Illumination and Progression, and they absorbed Stormlight from gems. It is very likely that they also used a Nahel bond.
Historical
The Truthwatchers were people that were silent and secretive most of the time.
They were also considered to have an esoteric nature.

Ideals of the Truthwatchers
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the Immortal Words, are a set of rules by which the Knights Radiant lived. The First Ideal, identical for all orders of the Knights Radiant, is used as their motto. Each order of the Knights Radiant had additional four ideals that were unique to each order.
The First Ideal
“Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination.”

Powers
The Truthwatchers use the Surges of Progression and Illumination.
Progression was used by Ym to heal a small boy's foot of infection in words of Radiance pgs 173-174, and by Lift to revive and heal Gawx after his throat was slit in WOR pgs 704-705.
Illumination is used by Shallan to craft illusions by weaving light, sound and various waveforms. She uses this to disguise herself (often as Veil, though sometimes as others), make herself appear cleaner, older and more attractive, to create illusions of walls and rocks to hide behind and in, and to create an illusion of herself in the distance doing something (getting the ghostbloods orders and as a distraction for the chasm fiend).
Quotes
“Now, as the Truthwatchers were esoteric in nature, their order being formed entirely of those who never spoke or wrote of what they did, in this lies frustration for those who would see their exceeding secrecy from the outside; they were not naturally inclined to explanation; and in the case of Corberon's disagreements, their silence was not a sign of exceeding abundance of disdain, but rather and exceeding abundance of tact. —From Words of Radiance, chapter 11, page 6”
