The '''Knights Radiant''' (ParshendiListener: ''Neshua Kadal''){{book ref|sa1|67}}{{book ref|sa1|68}} were an organization of [[Surgebinding|Surgebinders]] on [[Roshar]]. Their Orders were centered at [[Urithiru]], but they lived all across [[Alethela]], the [[Silver Kingdoms|Silver Kingdom]] who had to maintain the arts of war. They considered it their duty and privilege to stay vigilant for [[Desolation|Desolations]].{{book ref|sa1|49}} It is commonly believed that they betrayed mankind on the [[Day of Recreance]], and were then referred to as the '''Lost Radiants'''.{{book ref|sa1|43}} Their symbol was a golden hourglass shape, of eight spheres connected with two at the center.

== Trivia ==
* Brandon intended for sets of Ideals across Orders (e.g. the Third Ideal) to have a theme, though not all oaths will follow the pattern.{{wob ref|12012}}
* The term for a Knight Radiant in Parshendi is Neshua Kadal, possibly related to the Hebrew words נִשְׁבָּע ("Nishba") meaning "One who makes oaths" or נִשָּׁבַע ("Nishuva") meaning "One who was sworn to" and קטל ("Katal") meaning "kill" (a reference to the killing of [[Voidbringer]]s).
