==Beliefs==
Like the [[Envisagers]]{{book ref|sa2|71}}, they believe that by returning the [[Voidbringers]] they will cause the [[Herald]]s to return as well. The Sons of Honor believe this will usher in a new era of Vorin dominance.{{book ref|sa2|88}} The Sons of Honor appear ruthless and have little regard for the loss of innocent life in the pursuit of their goals.{{book ref|sa1|51}}{{book ref|sa2|88}} Despite their organization being based around Vorinism, they do not appear to strictly follow the gender norms dictated by the church. Amaram uses the [[stormwarden script]] to get around the prohibitions on writing.{{book ref|sa2|52}} Restares likely knows it as well, given Amaram sent him a letter written in the script.{{book ref|sa2|88}}
== History ==
The Sons of Honor existed before [[Gavilar Kholin]] joined their organization, but he helped to greatly expand their numbers and influence. Notably, he was the one who recruited Amaram to join them.{{book ref|sa3|40}} The night of Gavilar's death, he thought Restares might have been responsible, though he never thought previously that Restares would do that.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} In truth, the Sons of Honor's plans to return the [[Fused]] and start a Desolation led to the [[listeners]] having him killed.{{book ref|sa3|prologue}}
Although he was reluctant at first, Restares convinced Amaram to take the shards [[Kaladin]] won and kill any witnesses, though he enslaved Kaladin as a sign of his thanks instead.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Amaram's trip to the [[Shattered Plains]] had to do with investigating the listeners and their connection to the Voidbringers.{{book ref|sa2|52}} After the [[Battle of Narak]], Amaram sends word to Restares that the Sons of Honor were successful, though in truth they had no part on starting the [[True Desolation]]. Amaram recognized that [[Taln]] was not a madman and took him.{{book ref|sa2|88}}
[[Odium]] used Amaram's beliefs and the truth about the [[Heralds]] to convince him to join Odium's forces.{{book ref|sa3|120}} It is currently not known if any other members of the Sons of Honor know the truth about the Heralds or if they have joined Odium as well.
== Relationships ==
The Sons of Honor appear to have an antagonistic relationship with both the [[Ghostbloods]] and the [[Skybreakers]]. [[Mraize]] sent [[Shallan]] to spy on Amaram in order to discover what the secrets the Sons of Honor knew.{{book ref|sa2|43}} After receiving Shallan's intelligence, they tried to assassinate him. The hit was unsuccessful.{{book ref|sa2|88}} Mraize acts dismissive towards the Ghostbloods, referring to them simply as Restares's cronies.{{book ref|sa2|54}} The Skybreakers also tried to have Amaram killed as a strike against the Sons of Honor.{{book ref|sa3|40}} They sent [[Helaran Davar]] to his army with [[shardblade]] and [[shardplate]] to kill him. This plan, however, resulted in the Sons of Honor gaining control of another set of shards.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
The [[Diagram (group)|Diagram]] likely knows about the Sons of Honor, as [[Taravangian]] was a member of Gavilar's trusted inner circle.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} It is not clear if the Sons of Honor are aware of the formation and actions of the Diagram. The two organizations have similar origins in their awareness of the [[True Desolation]] but different philosophies on what should be done about it.{{wob ref|3399}}{{wob ref|4604}}

▲I do not exult in this success. Lives will be lost. It has ever been our burden as the Sons of Honor. To return the Heralds, to return the dominance of the Church, we had to put the world into a crisis.
