The '''Envisagers''' were a group of people who secretly bore the remembrance of the [[Knights Radiant]] and awaited their return.{{book ref|twok|57}} Currently there are no living Envisagers known,{{book ref|twok|38}} although they could potentially still exist in [[Yulay]], as [[Sigzil]] speaks of a group there with similar goals.{{book ref|twok|43}}
==
They believed in the Knights Radiant, their way of life, the [[Immortal Words]], the [[Immortal_Words#The_First_Ideal|Ideals]], and also in the [[Almighty]], and even in old [[Vorinism]].{{book ref|twok|59}} They knew the Immortal Words and the Ideals of the Knights Radiant.
They desired the return of the Knights Radiant. Similarly to the [[Sons of Honor]] they believed that if they could find a way to return the [[Voidbringers]] the Knights Radiant would also return.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
They also believed that the powers of the Knights Radiant were likely to manifest themselves in someone who's life was in danger. They would place themselves in mortal danger, often dying in the attempt. Teft spoke of people being pushed off of cliffs, or crushed by rocks.{{book ref|sa2|71}}
==Teft==
[[Teft]]'s parents were part of the Envisagers. Contrary to his parents Teft thought it nonsense and left the sect.{{book ref|twok|57}} He didn't believe until he saw [[Kaladin]] infusing [[Stormlight]].{{book ref|twok|38}} Unfortunately Teft couldn't seek advice from them, because he unintentionally caused their deaths when he reported the Envisagers' activities to their citylord.{{book ref|sa2|71}} The citylord, for reasons Teft does not understand, had the entire group executed.{{book ref|

{{quote|The Envisagers were gone. Dead, because of what he had done. If there were others, he had no idea how to locate them.|The Way of Kings, [[Teft]]{{book ref|twok|38}}}}
{{quote|They thought that people were more likely to manifest powers if their lives were in danger. So...they'd put lives in danger. Members of their own group-never an innocent outsider, bless the winds. But that was bad enough. I watched people let themselves be pushed off cliffs, watched them tied in place with a candle slowly burning a rope until it snapped and dropped a rock to crush them.|Words of Radiance, [[Teft]]{{book ref|sa2|71}}}}
