Posted May 18, 2016 Of the 10 orders of the Knights Radiant, seven are named after surges: Windrunners- Gravitation Skybreakers- Division Bondsmiths- Adhesion Elsecallers- Transportation Lightweavers- Illumination Willshapers- Cohesion Edgedancers- Abrasion That leaves three orders: Dustbringers Stonewards Truthwatchers that aren't named after surges. It also leaves three surges: Growth/Regrowth Transformation Tension that don't have a specific order focusing on them. Renarin (truthwatcher) states that he "sees things." That makes me wonder, do the other two orders have special powers too, or is it just a cool sounding name? Interesting note, Windrunner's order name focuses on gravitation, and Lightweaver focuses on illumination. Kaladin's book focused on gravitation, and Shallan's focused on illumination. Tell me what you think below. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2016 IIRC Dustbringers also have Division. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2016 IIRC Dustbringers also have Division. They do, but where skybreakers specifically have break (divide) in their name, Dustbringers seem more destructive than devisive. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 18, 2016 (edited) They do, but where skybreakers specifically have break (divide) in their name, Dustbringers seem more destructive than devisive. but dustbringer isn't their actual name. That is their nickname given by people who judge them harshly and they resented the similarity to voidbringer. Their actual name or more specifically what they called themselves are the Releasers. So through division they are releasing the bonds of what they target, thus dividing it. We also see the affect of their surges in the beginning of Way of kings. They seem to burn even rock.

Posted May 18, 2016 Skybreakers. Their name coresponds to both of their Surges. Also, I find the name of Edgedancers to be poetic - they have Growth (and Regrowth), they balance on the edge between life and death. But yeah, Abrasion and sliding around also works. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 24, 2016 They literally and figuratively dance on the edge, often without a care. The Stonewards could be linked with Tension. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
