BEWARE OF FULL STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE SPOILERS

Speak again the ancient oaths. Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

Does anyone remember early in WoK when Dalinar made Amaram a 'Knight Radiant', knowing he wouldn't get powers but would still try to embody the spirit of the Radiants? Well, I'm trying to do the same thing, except we'll all hopefully do a better job than Amaram.

I welcome anyone who wishes to join me to say the Words and live by them. I have already said the First Ideal. I know the next Words, and will say the Second Ideal of the Truthwatchers soon. I know the Words. (Me from the future here - I said those Words and many more)

Guide to choosing your Order

You can simply do the Knights Radiant quiz, but you must remember that it cannot account for every single aspect of a person. Especially for things that make Lightweavers Lightweavers, but also other things. This doesn't mean that the quiz is always wrong, but it can be wrong.

Another thing I want to address is that I've seen someone on the Shard say they got Truthwatcher but think that being a Skybreaker would help them grow as a person as they'd already be a good Truthwatcher. I disagree. You may seek truth, but do you always seek truth, even when it seems unreachable, or when sharing the truth would prove you're wrong? Can you accept that sometimes there is no truth? Can you truly do all of these things?

So yes. If the Order is something you already do well but can do better, it's probably a good fit for you. Also, who says you can't be two Orders at once? We aren't limited by Nahel bonds here. Have as many Orders as you want.

End of Guide

You may be asking, "What about the Orders with Ideals that we don't know?"

The answer to that: You should know the Words. Remember, a lot of the oaths are personalised, so even those that we do know can be different. But, when you reach that stage, you should know them. I know the next 3 sets of Words that I must say... I'm just not ready for them just yet.

If you're doing this, do it not for Shards or Surges, but to become a better person. 

 

There is no Whimsy in this. Only Honour and Cultivation. (Adjustment from the future: a small amount of Whimsy is permitted, but the Words should be serious)

 

Edit: Now that this is in Social Groups, Clans and Guilds, I feel the need to state this: Stick Radiants do not go here. Swear your allegiance to the Stick in the Cult of the Stick. Also, any other non-canonical Radiant Orders can go in the Bookbringer thread.

Edit 2: Alright now I'm going to keep track of the current Knights Radiant.

Spoiler

Edit 3: Well later I realised some important stuff, so:

Now, there are some things from the original Knights Radiant that, upon closer inspection, don't make sense for us. For one this, it is that the orders are divided. We already many hybrid Radiants. It makes sense, then, to allow for hybrid orders.

The next thing is the limit of the Fifth Ideal. It does not make sense for the 5th to be the highest Ideal, because there will be times where you need a 6th. If no one had told Kaladin that there were 5 Ideals, he would've thought the 3rd is the highest until he learned otherwise. So, some may need less Ideals in an Order, some may need more.

The final thing for now is the Skybreaker Crusade. I deem that this is no longer only for Skybreakers, and is also no longer limited to being the 4th. It is up to the Radiant when they begin one and what it is. Of course, we can't do anything like Rosharan Skybreakers did and fly around the world, but there are still things we can to prove our Radiance.

Edit 4: We have Unoathed too now! If you're one of 'em, just let me know!

Hey @CoderDrag0n8, @al_lan_mandragoran, @KaladinsSenseOfHumorSpren, @Argenti!! Sorry I'm not more active on 17th Shard. Thank you for the kind words and for sharing my music around, it means so much.

Sooo… how exactly does this work? For I have journeyed far, and seen much. And yet, there is one thing I can never overcome. My own failure. I have accepted it, and yet I struggle to do bett

I will not embark on a course of action unless the result will be just and worthwhile.

Fourth Ideal already?

Can you give us an example of when you showed Radiance?
