}}{{spoilers| for [[Words of Radiance]]}}
The '''Immortal Words''' were a set of oaths sworn by the [[Knights Radiant]] in order to gain their [[Surgebinding]] abilities. There were five sets of '''Ideals''' for each order, with the first being the same among all orders, making it likely that the total number of Ideals is 41.
== Purpose ==
The primary purpose of the Ideals was to serve as a guide to the Radiants for how they were to live their lives. These ideals were based off of the lessons taught in [[Nohadon]]'s book, [[Way of Kings|The Way of Kings]].{{ref|b|sa1|c|59}} As the book had forty parables, it seems likely that each parable described an ideal of the Knights Radiant, excluding the First Ideal.{{ref|b|sa1|c|58}}
