== Philosophy ==
While each order of Radiants contains a variety of personalities within it, those who join the Lightweavers generally subscribe to a philosophy of speaking truths about themselves that they must admit in order to progress as people.{{wob ref|13777}} The Order finds it important to be able to separate the real from the lie and use that to move forward. Lightweavers tend to be free spirits, and many among their Order see the importance of entertainment, beauty, and art in a person’s life. The Order strives to make sure that the world has something to live for. They tend to attract those who are interested in art, intrigue, secrets, and espionage.{{epigraph ref|sa2|49}}{{wob ref|13777}}
