Ardents were presumably around since the rise of Vorinism, but only rose to power along with the [[Hierocracy]]. 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}}
The Hierocracy was eventually overthrown by the [[Alethkar|Alethi]] warlord [[Sadees]],

* In the English language, the word "ardent" is an adjective meaning eager, zealous or passionate.
* Though the word shares some similarity with [[Arteth|arteth]], the name of [[Shu-Dereth]] priests from [[Sel]], ardents and arteths are not connected.{{wob ref|6823}}
* Though the ardents were around in some capacity back in ''[[The Way of Kings Prime]]'', back then they were simply called monks.{{wob ref|3808}}
