== Philosophy ==
Those who join the Elsecallers generally subscribe to a philosophy that they should be becoming better with each oath, seeking to explore their true potential and reach it.{{wob ref|13778}}{{wob ref|16466}} The order is more open to all types of people, as long as they want to improve themselves. They tend to attract those who are less flamboyant; scholars, theologians, and those who are interested in leadership. Modern lore connects the Elsecallers with the gemstone Zircon, the number seven, the [[Ten Essences|essence]] tallow, and the body focus oil. They are associated with the attributes of wisdom and carefulness.
The Elsecallers are one of the scholarly orders of Knights Radiant. Inkspren are attracted to people who think through decisions rather than acting on instinct. This quality is usually associated with scholars, but can also apply to a soldier who thinks things through instead of rushing into battle.{{wob ref|1603}} Before the Recreance, the order also had a fair number of theologians and leaders, and was generally considered one of the most welcoming. The Elsecallers are widely considered the wisest and most careful of the Radiants, and were some of the Radiants' best tacticians and logistical organizers.{{wob ref|13778}}
== Ideals of the Elsecallers ==
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiants live. 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 have an additional four Ideals that are unique to that order.{{book ref|sa1|59}} The Ideals of the Order of Elsecallers all focus on progressing with each Ideal and discovering and reaching one's true potential.{{wob ref|16466}} As a result, the order is more open to all types of people, as long as they want to improve themselves.{{wob ref|13778}}
