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}} It is stated in the book [[Words of Radiance (in-world)|Words of Radiance]] that one order "said they would not abandon their arms and flee, but instead entertained great subterfuge at the expense of the other nine.", implying that they began killing Radiants who would not break their oaths. Over those years, Nale increasingly put his imprint on the order, and the Skybreakers of the modern era are much more rigid than their pre-Recreance predecessors.{{wob ref|13773}} Nale seems to have some control over which of his recruits obtain spren bonds, and he is exacting in testing them before they are found worthy.{{book ref|sa2|40}} In the centuries leading up to 1173, Nale was the only Skybreaker to swear the Ideal of Law.{{book ref|sa3|90}}
The Order has a small fortress in [[Marabethia]] that overlooks the [[Purelake]].{{book ref|sa3|90}} Hopefuls are brought to the fortress for testing, and Squires and Masters reside there while training (unless they are away on a mission).{{book ref|sa3|90}} Skybreakers usually wear the uniforms of local law enforcement wherever they travel, regardless of their own race or nationality.{{book ref|sa3|90}}{{book ref|sa3|98}} The Skybreakers have power and Shards that they use to awe new recruits.{{book ref|sa3|40}}
