| The Order's two Surges: Cohesion (top left), | |
Stonewards are one of the Ten Orders of Knights Radiant. They were likely founded by Talenel. The glow of their Shardplate was amber. Talatin was a Radiant of this Order.[1] Stonewards wield the Surges of Cohesion and Tension.
History
As observed by Dalinar in one of his visions, the Stonewards were one of two Orders of Knights Radiant who had turned their backs on their fellows (i.e.: the Day of Recreance).[2]
| “ | Now, as each order was thus matched to the nature and temperament of the Herald it named patron, there was none more archetypal of this than the Stonewards, who followed after Talenelat'Elin, Stonesinew, Herald of War: they thought it a point of virtue to exemplify resolve, strength, and dependability. Alas, they took less care for imprudent practice of their stubbornness, even in the face of proven error. | ” |
