Truthwatchers

[wildbuc117]

Are Truthwatchers associated with children?  Specifically 2/3 Truthwatchers we have seen so far (Ym and I suspect Stump) have been involved with helping out orphans (children).  Does helping and protecting children have something to do with their order?

Well, Truthwatchers and Edgedancers share Progression. Edgedancers cultivate plants, so maybe Truthwatchers raise children? Definitely not a bad thought, although Renarin is an outlier to that, which makes theorizing about it difficult.

I assume that their order is made to protect the future and what best represents our future?

When asked what Truthwatchers do at the end of WoR, Renarin just says, "I see." So I'd guess that they do more of predicting and studying the future than preserving it.
