The Truthwatchers were [[Surgebinder]]s who used the two [[Surge]]s Illumination and Progression. It is very likely that they also used a [[Nahel bond]].
== Historical ==
The Truthwatchers were silent and secretive most of the time.
They were also considered esoteric.
== Known Truthwatchers ==
[[Renarin Kholin]] has claimed to be a Truthwatcher. {{book ref|sa2|89}}
[[Ym]] is believed to have been a Truthwatcher (based on his temperament along with his ability to use Progression), though this is unconfirmed.
== 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 an additional four ideals that were unique to each order.

==
The Truthwatchers use the Surges of Progression and Illumination.
Progression was used by Ym to heal a small boy's foot of an infection
Illumination is used by [[Shallan_Davar|Shallan Davar]] (a [[Order_of_Lightweavers|Lightweaver]]) 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 (getting the Ghostblood's orders and as a distraction for the chasmfiend).▼

[[Renarin_Kholin|Renarin Kholin]] saw the [[True_Desolation|Everstorm]] coming even though he had no line of sight on it (Words of Radiance, page 1019), and said that he could see the future (Words of Radiance, page 1019), though he incorrectly predicted the death of himself and those around him (pages 1019 and 1028). He also later stated that Truthwatchers are unique because "they see" (Words of Radiance, page 1073)▼

{{quote|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 an exceeding abundance of tact.|[[Words of Radiance (in-world)|Words of Radiance, chapter 11, page 6]]{{book ref|sa2|52}}}}
