The '''Envisagers''' were a group of people who secretly bore the remembrance of the [[Knights Radiant]] and awaited their return.{{book ref|twoksa1|57}} Currently there are no living Envisagers known,{{book ref|twoksa1|38}} although they could potentially still exist in [[Yulay]], as [[Sigzil]] speaks of a group there with similar goals.{{book ref|twoksa1|43}}
 
==Beliefs==
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|twoksa1|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}}
 
==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|twoksa1|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|sa2|71}}
 
==Quotes==
{{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|twoksa1|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}}}}
