Like the [[Envisagers]],{{book ref|sa2|71}} the Sons of Honor believe that by returning the [[Voidbringers]] they will cause the [[Herald]]s to return as well. They believe this will usher in a new era of Vorin dominance.{{book ref|sa2|88}} This is the reason for many of their members joining but some leaders such as Gavilar and Restares do not think this is the case and have different motives for their actions.{{book ref|sa4|4}}{{book ref|sa4|7}}
The Sons of Honor appear ruthless and have little regard for the loss of innocent life in the pursuit of their goals.{{book ref|sa1|51}}{{book ref|sa2|88}} Despite their organization being based around Vorinism, their leaders do not appear to strictly follow the gender norms dictated by the church. [[Amaram]] uses the [[stormwarden script]] to get around the prohibitions on writing.{{book ref|sa2|52}} Restares likely knows it as well, given Amaram's letter was written in the script.{{book ref|sa2|88}} The group also identifies itself as highly patriotic and loyal to [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa3|120}}{{book ref|sa4|5}}
Of the organizations that are aware of the Voidbringers and the [[Desolation]]s, the Sons of Honor are the most incorrect in their beliefs and actions regarding that knowledge.{{wob ref|4604}}
The original founders of the Sons of Honor created the organisation based on religious grounds, aiming to restart the Desolations and thus, they hoped, mankind's former glory.{{book ref|sa3|88}}{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} The Envisagers formed as a splinter group of the Sons of Honor.{{wob ref|14534}} Eventually someone managed to recruit [[Gavilar Kholin]] and he quickly rose up the ranks of the organisation while greatly increasing their power and getting many new recruits. Notably, he is the individual who allowed Amaram to join their ranks.{{book ref|sa3|40}} Over time the new leaders of the organisation, Gavilar and Restares, developed their own goals and plans for the groups unrelated to their stated aim.{{book ref|sa4|7}}{{book ref|sa4|4}} Restares learned of Gavilar's plans and responded favourably, ultimately leading to their collaboration.{{book ref|sa4|82}} To facilitate this, the pair held many secret meetings together.{{book ref|sa2|prologue}}{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} Despite this apparent closeness, however, Gavilar still suspected Restares of being behind his assassination.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}}
Following the death of Gavilar, the organisation went through changes. [[Taravangian]] decided to leave the organisation and founded the [[Diagram]]
Amaram continued to maintain the power of the Sons of Honor and was later requested to arrive at the [[Shattered Plains]] so that he could help with the war effort there. While there, he continued trying to restart the Desolations and continued his research into the connection between the [[listener|Parshendi]] and Voidbringers as well as trying to find the lost city of [[Urithiru]].{{book ref|sa2|52}} Following the [[Battle of Narak]] and the start of the [[Everstorm]], Amaram sent word to Restares that the Sons of Honor were successful in restarting the Desolations, though in truth they had no part in starting the [[True Desolation]]. It is unknown if Amaram actually believed he had helped restart the Desolations. Before leaving to settle in Urithiru, Amaram recognized that the madman in Dalinar's warcamp was in fact [[Taln]], and he went to recover him from his cell. At this time he survived an assassination attempt by the Ghostbloods.{{book ref|sa2|88}}
