== Ideals of the Truthwatchers ==
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiants lived. The First Ideal is shared by all of the orders, and is used as a motto for the Knights Radiant as a whole. Each of the orders then has an additional four Ideals that are unique to that order. The Ideals of the Order of Truthwatchers all focus on seeking and sharing truth, as well as making sure it is not improperly exploited. However, unlike the [[Order of Lightweavers|Lightweavers]], who pursue personal truths, the Truthwatchers are concerned more with uncovering the greater secrets of the universe.{{wob ref|13776}}

== History ==
The ancient Truthwatchers were often scientists, scholars and tinkers; this led to them being perceived as quiet and rather esoteric in their pursuits. They tended to be reserved, though a group of them was always dedicated to monitoring the actions of the poeple in power on Roshar, and making their opinions on said actions heard far and wide if necessary. They particularly concerned themselves with abuse of power, as well as finding out the truth, though what constituted "truth" was a subject of some debate.{{wob ref|13776}}
Truthwatchers would often engage in enthusiastic discussions on the topic of philosophy, particularly concerning the truth, even if many such conversations would take place only in writing. They were also interested in the more obscure crafts and sciences, such as new [[fabrial]]s or technologies.{{wob ref|13776}}
Modern Truthwatchers are few and far betwen, scattered around the world rather than united.{{book ref
