The Order of the Lightweavers Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content was an order of the Knights Radiant on Roshar.

The Lightweavers were Surgebinders who used the two Surges, and they absorb stormlight from gems. So far it is not know what Powers the Lightweavers had. It is however believed that the order surely has to do with Lightweaving, a magic system shared on both Roshar and Yolen. They perhaps deal with illusions. It is very likely that they also used a Nahel-bond.

Ideals of the Knights Radiant

The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as The Immortal Words, are a set of rules by which the Radiant lived. The First Ideal, identical for all orders of the Radiants, is used as their motto. The four later Ideals were said to be different for each order of Radiants.

The First Ideal

"Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination."Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; refs with no name must have content The First Ideal is explained to Kaladin by Teft:

  • Life before death - The Radiant seeks to defend life, always. He never kills unnecessarily, and never risks his own life for frivolous reasons. Living is harder than dying. The Radiant's duty is to live free.
  • Strength before weakness - All men are weak at some time in their lives. The Radiant protects those who are weak, and uses his strength for others. Strength does not make one capable of rule; it makes one capable of service.
  • Journey before destination - There are always several ways to achieve a goal. Failure is preferable to winning through unjust means. Protecting ten innocents is not worth killing one. In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.
