I will speak my truth

I’ve said my first truth, and working towards understanding and accepting second.

So I was thinking about the first oath specifically the strength before weakness part because that one always seemed a little like different from the others but I think I understand it now. It's not always physical strength and sometimes the strongest thing you can do is be weak like if I'm opening up to someone and exposing my weakness is actually stronger than actually being " strong".

I believe I'm ready to say the 3rd ideal.

I will control myself even if people make it difficult.

If you really want one, I can summon a master forger

@SpartanBrigade

He's totally not a Forger that just stamps stuff to look like Shardblades.

@SpartanBrigade have you started on my design yet?

[SpartanBrigade He/Him]

I’ve uh… had stuff going on lately sorry

No no that's good. Would you mind if I changed my design description, since you haven't?

Sweet!

Ok...I wanna mix the Stoneward/Windrunner glyps, which I'll do soon and send you a pic to use if possible, and have that on the intersection point of a trident. I want it to be kinda swirly blue/orange, and a little long. Other than that, decorations are at your discretion

[CoderDrag0n8 He/Him]

Can I change my design to be a Lightweaver Hand-Axe Red-Green and a Lightweaver Sword Red-Green?

Please and thank you

Sounds good
If you could send a photo too that could be helpful too
Which part is swirly blue/orange and a little long?

I want both the handle and the tines to be a little long, closer to long spear length. I want the whole thing to be swirly, with more orange on the hilt/shaft/whatever you call it and more blue toward the tines

Yes, welcome to the Knights Radiant.

I have decided, with much deliberation, that since I am not yet ready to swear the oath, I will postpone it. 

Instead, I will swear a different set of Words that will become my Third Oath.

I will do away with all the distractions which prevent me from reaching my potential.

(Since at the moment my potential equates to good grades, that means ridding myself of distractions during study. ...There's also a bit more to it than that, but I think that will suffice).

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 have @Kaladin Stormcursed, whose oaths are a merger between that of a Windrunner and a Stoneward. The Truth I must say is also closely connected to my growth as a Truthwatcher. 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. 

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, but there are still things we can to prove our Radiance.

 

The final, final thing: We officially have 20 Knights Radiant!

A force to be reckoned with and feared.

We will defeat all our enemies with our nerdiness and Arcanist superpowers of random fact remembering

Ooh - I just realised: This is my 100th post!!!!!!
