The Ten New Radiants Orders (fan-made)

[CoolScrafty7]

Hi everyone! For a while now, I’ve been working on creating 10 alternative Radiant Orders. Even though the official orders in The Stormlight Archive cover a very comprehensive moral framework, I felt there were still some philosophical and moral themes left unexplored or only touched upon indirectly. Because of this, I’ve created these 10 new orders, each with its own unique philosophy, Surges/abilities, Ideals, and specific spren. I’ve tried to stay as true to the canon as possible regarding how the mechanics work, though I did take a few creative liberties with some of them. I really hope you enjoy reading them!

• Wholewardens: they wield the Surges of Progression and Cohesion. Their oaths focus on the protection of the world as a complete living system. Read more about the order
• Endrecallers: they wield the Surges of Cohesion and Division. Their ideals revolve around the sanctity of life, the right to a dignified death, and the balance between justice and mercy. Read more about the order
• Painbearers: they wield the Surges of Division and Adhesion. Their oaths revolve around compassion, sacrifice, and the struggle to balance healing with self-preservation. Read more about the order
• Wavestriders: they wield the Surges of Adhesion and Abrasion. Their oaths revolve around acceptance of the journey, learning from failure, and taking responsibility for one's path. Read more about the order
• Legacykeepers: they wield the Surges of Abrasion and Gravitation. Their ideals revolve around preservation of memory, truth, and the moral duty of remembrance. Read more about the order
• Windwraiths: they wield the Suerges of Gravitation and Illumination. Their oaths revolve around forgiveness, confession, and redemption. Read more about the order
• Selfclaimers: they wield the Surges of Illumination and Transformation. Their oaths center on identity, change, and self-determination. Read more about the order
• Hopepilgrims: they wield the Surges of Transformation and Tension. Their ideals revolve around personal growth and the spreading of hope. Read more about the order
• Dawnradiants: they wield the Surges of Tension and Transportation. Their oaths are tied to joy, resilience, and emotional strength in the face of darkness. Read more about the order
• Dreamwatchers: they wield the Surges of Transportation and Progression. Their oaths follows the path from dream to action. From protecting imagination to manifesting it. Read more about the order

I've included a link next to each Order so you can download the PDF containing its full lore. Which one is your favorite? Which one do you resonate with the most? If you have any suggestions for improvements or changes, feel free to share them in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

[Through the living Wahr He/Him]

Hey welcome to the Shard, Please Consider making an Intro Post here

Cool Idea, but I noticed that Selfclaimers have the Same Surges as Light Weavers Maybe you could rearrange the surges to avoid duplicating combinations?

Here is a possible proposal, the red marked Orders are those whose Surges were changed 

WWa: Cohesion and Progression
EC: Progression and Division
PB: Division and Adhesion
WS: Adhesion and Abrasion
LK: Abrasion and Gravitation
WWr: Gravitation and Illumination
SC: Illumination and Tension
HP: Tension and Transformation
DW: Transformation and Cohesion

I think Progression would fit the Life/Death theme of Endrecallers better than Cohesion

Cool! I'd probably be a Dreamwatcher

Interesting idea

Although I would probably put Dreamwatcher as Illumination and Transportation
