==History==
 
== Radiant Orders==
The Knights Radiant comprised of ten different orders, some of which had several hundred members. They lived and recruited across [[Alethela]], the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] who had to maintain the arts of war. The radiants share a bond with [[spren]], who are related to their powers. Each Order had two [[Surgebinding]] Powers associated with it, and each Powers was used by two different Orders. Scholars associated the ten orders with the [[Ten Essences] as well.
 
The Knights Radiant used [[Shardblade]]s and [[Shardplate]], which were etched with glyphs and glowed a different color according to the Order they were a part of. Among the orders were [[The Order of Windrunners|Order of WindrunnersWindrunner]]s, [[Order of StonewardsStoneward]]s, and possiblyDustbringers. Two of the orders shared the 'binding of [[DustbringerSoulcasting]]s. ▼

* [[Order of Stonewards]], the:The glow of their Shardplate was amber. With the combination of topaz and heliodor fixed in metal, one could regrow flesh and bone. The combination was called a Regrowth; however, this may be a kind of [[fabrial]] and not a power of the order.▼

== Ideals ==
{{main|Immortal Words}}
 
The Ideals by which the Radiant lived, known as '''The Immortal Words''. Serve as a guide to the Radiants for how they were to live their lives. The First Ideal being the same for every order. while the four later ideals were said to be different for every order. These ideals were based off of book of [[Way of Kings]].
 
=== First Ideal ===
 
First Ideal - ''{{quote|Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.'',|The wasfirst explainedideal byof the [[TeftImmortal Words]]:}}
As explained by [[Teft]]:
 
;Life before death
* Life before death, :The Radiant seeks to defend life, always. He never kills unnecessarily, and never risks his own life for frivolous reasons. Living is harder than dying. The Radiant’s duty is to live.
 
;Strength before weakness
* Strength before weakness, :All men are weak at some time in their lives. The Radiant protects those who are weak, and uses his strength for others. Strength does not make one capable of rule; it makes one capable of service.
 
;Journey before destination
* Journey before destination, :There are always several ways to achieve a goal. Failure is preferable to winning through unjust means. Protecting ten innocents is not worth killing one. In the end,all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.
