From we know about the temperaments of known members, like Renarin Kholin; and "sub-members" like Ym and the Stump we may be able to make some educated guesses about the other ideals for the order of the Truthwatchers. One similarity that can be found is the tendency to learn about peoples stories or what makes them tic. this trait can be seen in Ym's charging street youths their story in exchange for a pair of shoes. This is also shown by Renarins tendency to study people (although this may be attributed to his personal disposition) and in the Stumps habit of looking into the children she takes in for signs of a faked illness or disability. Taking what we know about both the ancient and modern versions of the Truthwatchers alongside the knowledge that the Ideals are designed as a progression that develops a Radiant's character toward the central concepts of their order. <ref>[https://wob.coppermind.net/entry/2711] puts us one step closer to knowing the ideals of the Truthwachers</ref>.
In addition it can be seen that in addition to surges there is almost an overlap in "intent"(eg: similar to how the law should protect people, the orders of the Windrunners[protection] and the Skybreakers[law] share a surge [gravitation] and therefore are "next to each other"). Following this line of thought it would stand to reason that the in a sequential group of three orders the one in the middle would be something of a cross between the two. Since the orders of the Edgedancers were said to focus on humanitarian issues, and the Lightweavers "oaths" hinge on confronting repressed truths. Because Truthwachers sequentially stand between these orders we must merge these "intents" of humanitary efforts and self-confrontation/introspection to most accurately guess the ideals of Truthwachers. In addition it bears mentioning that each ideal (so far and with the exception of the lightweavers) are all "I"-statements.
With all these things considered i present a guess at either the second or third ideal of the order of the Truthwatchers<br>

(as for sourcing concerns the theory listed above primarily stems from either myself, "Oathbringer", or other articles on the Coppermind, like https://coppermind.net/wiki/Immortal_Words .

The Truthwatchers use the Surges of '''Progression''' and '''Illumination'''.
