![]() The Edgedancers are known as being caring and graceful. Too often, the actions of the powerful have terrible effects on the people with no voice, and the Edgedancers consider it their solemn duty to remember that the people are the ones they truly serve. They also attract those who are a little foolhardy at times-brave soldiers who see themselves as containing and controlling terrible destruction so it won’t get out of hand and hurt innocents.Įdgedancer oaths are themed around remembering the ordinary people of the world-those who aren’t powerful generals or Radiants. They attract anyone who likes to take things apart, who likes to know how things work. However, they were also often used as sappers, engineers, and strategists. If you want a large swath of land destroyed or burned, you call in the Dustbringers. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to act as the equivalent of artillery in a modern army. They instead see their nature as being about control, precision, and understanding. ![]() They don’t see themselves as being about destruction-though their powers are the most destructive of any order of Knights Radiant. ![]() They tend to object to those who focus only on their destructive sides, as they argue that in order to create, one must understand the pieces of the thing they are trying to make. However, their oaths are themed toward control-that they need to be able to control, contain, and channel the terrible power inside them. They often attract tinkerers who like to dig down into the shape and soul of a thing, break it, and see what makes it work. They believe great power requires a strong will to control it. Each oath led to a greater understanding of power, the nature of holding it, and the associated responsibility.ĭustbringers-though they sometimes objected to the common name for their order, preferring instead to be called Releasers-are living contradictions among the Knights Radiant. As a Dustbringer moved through the oaths, they were taught greater powers of destruction-and are one of the only orders where their abilities weren’t all available at the beginning, but instead were delivered slowly, as they made the proper oaths. They were led to understand that the powers they used needed to be properly channeled, much as their own desires and wills needed proper form and shape. Anyone believing in finding true justice, in defending the innocent, and in punishing the guilty would be welcome in the Order.ĭustbringer oaths were themed toward responsibility. Note that the current incarnation, led by the Herald Nale in his madness, is more rigid than the ancient order, which understood that the law was not perfect, but instead represented an ideal to try to reach over time. They tend to attract those who believe in the importance of legal code, those who have strong moral codes of their own, and those who think the best defense against anarchy are things like patriotism, moral fiber, and rules to govern behavior. ![]() They were the ones that did the sometimes tough job of making certain that the Orders didn’t abuse their power to become tyrants, as the Skybreakers saw that those with powers could easily oppress those who had none. They were the ones who believed that nobody, not even a Radiant, should be above being questioned. This sometimes gave them a bad reputation among the more free-thinking Orders of Knights, but the Skybreakers (at their best) were not merciless. The Skybreakers were the enforcers of the Knights Radiant, often tasked with keeping the peace, policing the other Orders, and making certain that dangerous or dark forces in the world were contained. They generally reinforce the importance of moral codes, legal structures, and similar boundaries that protect civilization. Skybreaker oaths are themed toward justice, fighting for causes, and enforcing social rules.
