The first Surgebinders came to be as a result of [[spren]] trying to imitate what [[Honor]] had given his [[Herald]]s. The spren formed bonds with the mankind to give them [[Surgebinding]] abilities.{{book ref|sa2|4}} Honor was surprised by their coming, because he hadn't taught it to his Heralds.{{book ref|sa2|4}} These Surgebinders were later formed into the ten orders of the Knights Radiant by the Herald [[Ishar|Ishi'Elin]], for the purpose of watching for the coming Desolations, and helping men fight, then rebuild the society from the destruction of the Desolations, and they adopted the city of Urithiru as their center of power.{{book ref|sa1|60}}
For a long time, they maintained their duty, until eventually they abandoned it on what is now known as the Day of Recreance,{{book ref|sa1|52}} and possibly even turned against their wards, as some legends say.{{book ref|sa1|45}} This betrayal caused many spren to die, their [[Shardblade|corpses]] becoming tools of destruction, and as a result they stopped granting humanity Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa2|3}}
In recent times, sensing an impending danger, the spren started returning to mankind as an act of self-preservation.{{book ref|sa2|1}} People all over Roshar started gaining Surgebinding powers by forming Nahel bonds with the spren in the following years. At the beginning of the year 1174, Urithiru was reclaimed, and the Knights Radiant were re-founded with initially four members; [[Kaladin]], [[Shallan Davar]], [[Dalinar Kholin]], and [[Renarin Kholin]].{{book ref|sa2|89}}
