The ancient Skybreakers seem to have been involved in conflicts with other Orders frequently, especially the two Orders they share Surges with. The Skybreakers considered the Dustbringers to be on the edge morally and did not get along with them.{{wob ref|11988}} They also reportedly had some issues with the [[Windrunners]]. [[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.{{book ref|sa2|22}}{{book ref|sa2|59}} Debates ensued when Windrunners and Skybreakers tried to decide the fate of the guilty.{{epigraph ref|sa2|54}} These conflicts got significantly worse as the time of the Recreance approached.{{epigraph ref|sa3|64}} Some believed these and other conflicts caused the [[Sibling]] to retreat, but it was unrelated to the true cause.{{epigraph ref|sa3|70}}

The Skybreakers were also the only Order that did not partake in the [[Recreance]] and remained active in the following two millennia.{{book ref|sa2|88}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}{{book ref|sa3|40}}{{book ref|sa3|90}} At some point, Nale retrieved his [[honorblade]] from [[Shinovar]] and bonded his own highspren, officially joining the Skybreakers. He is the only known Herald to have joined their Order.{{book ref|sa3|106}} It is not known if this took place before or after the Recreance, but he was a member of the Skybreakers for centuries before the [[True Desolation]].{{book ref|sa3|90}}
It is mentioned by [[Mraize]] that [[Helaran Davar]] had been attempting to locate the Skybreakers, and that Nale had recruited him, although he was not worthy of a spren bond before he died.{{cite}}
