== History ==
The ancient Stonewards were the infantry and the ground troops of the Knights Radiant; alongside the [[Windrunners]], they were considered the finest soldiers. They tended to attract people interested in warfare, but also challenge, prowess with weapons, and athleticism. Throughout the world, they were widely known for being dependable, strong and filled with resolve, but also stubborn to a fault and prone to taking on projects larger than themselves. This attitude was said to be a good representation of their patron Herald.{{wob ref|13780}}{{epigraph ref|sa2|37}} They took pride in this -- to be there when they were needed was a core tenet of their order.{{wob ref|13780}}
The author of ''[[Words_of_Radiance_(in-world)|Words of Radiance]]'', says that the Stonewards were exmplars of resolve, strength, and dependability while also being stubborn to a fault. The author notes this made them a better match for the nature and temperament of their Herald than any other order.{{epigraph ref|sa2|37}}

In modern times, there have been no Stonewards visibly active on [[Roshar]].
Stoneward oaths focus on team dynamics, on learning to work with others, and on being there for those who need them. They put the interests of others before their own, and will not bend their Ideals for the sake of convenience. {{wob ref|13780}}
 
Stonewards were the infantry and ground troops of the Radiants and are renowned as their finest soldiers. (A title that, on occasion, the Windrunners dispute.) They tend to attract those who are most interested in warfare, prowess with weapons, or athletics of any sort. They liked a challenge, and in times of peace are seen engaging in (and running) various sporting events of both a military and non-military nature. Many enjoy the outdoors, and you’ll find exploration enthusiasts among them, as well as those who just like the fresh air. They tend to be known for their can-do attitudes and for taking on enormous projects (sometimes more than they can handle). However, most agree that the primary attribute of the Stonewards is their dependability. Though sometimes gregarious, they are never flighty. If a Stoneward is your friend, they will be there for you, and that is a core tenet of their Order—to be there when they are needed. Another key attribute is their ability to take a difficult situation with few resources and make something better of it. Though not known as inventors or creators, they are good at improvising solutions to problems in the moment.{{wob ref|13780}}
