During that time, their word was absolute, as they claimed the sole authority to understand and interpret the scriptures and the [[Almighty]].{{book ref|sa1|18}} They dismissed the powers of [[Surgebinding]] as trickery, and sought to bury all knowledge of [[Knights Radiant]], but they themselves claimed to be able to know future through visions and prophecies.{{book ref|sa1|18}}{{book ref|sa1|26}}
 
Hierocracy was eventually overthrown by the [[Alethkar|Alethi]] warlord [[Sadees]], or the Sunmaker, during his campaign to conquer the entirety of [[Roshar]].{{book ref|sa1|18}} Ever since, the social status of ardents has falledfallen significantly. In the present day, they are slaves of [[lighteyes]].{{book ref|sa2|16}}
