The '''Order of Edgedancers''' is an order of the [[Knights Radiant]] on Roshar.{{epigraph ref|sa2|46}}
 
The Edgedancers wereare [[Surgebinder]]s who useduse the [[Surge]]s of Abrasion and Progression,{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} and they are associated with the diamond [[polestone]]. They bond [[cultivationspren]].
 
== Philosophy ==
Edgedancers generally subscribe to a philosophy of remembering the ordinary people of the world.{{wob ref|13775}}{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} The order considers it their solemn duty to remember that the people are the ones they truly serve. They even aspire to remember and hear their enemies, as their stories could provide insight.{{book ref|sa4|36}} Edgedancers see it as their duty to care for the common folk and improve their daily lives and are similar to Good Samaritans.{{wob ref|684}}{{wob ref|16456}} They tend to attract religious people and leaders and those who advocate for ordinary people.{{wob ref|13775}}
 
== Ideals of the Edgedancers ==

}}
The Edgedancers use the Surges of '''Abrasion''' and '''Progression'''.
 
The Edgedancers use the Surges of '''Abrasion''' and '''Progression'''. [[Lift]]'s ability to metabolize food into [[Lights#Lifelight|Lifelight]] is an unique exception relating to the [[Old Magic]] and not a standard ability of Edgedancers.{{wob ref|11796}}
The Surge of [[Surgebinding#Progression|Progression]] allows them to make plants or other organic objects grow much faster than normal. They can also heal, and although the extent of this ability is unknown, it seems that the wielder is even able to heal others from wounds suffered from Shardblades. ▼
 
=== Abrasion ===
The Surge of [[Surgebinding#Abrasion|Abrasion]] grants them the ability to manipulate friction.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} They can apply this in different ways. In close range combat, this ability can make them hard to be stopped or grabbed. When used to decrease wind friction and friction on feet, they can travel long distances at considerable speeds, though keeping balance without friction requires a lot of practicing. They have been described, poetically, as being able "to ride the thinnest rope at speed, dance across rooftops, and move through a battlefield like a ribbon on the wind."{{book ref|sa2|i|9}}
 
=== Progression ===
[[Lift]], the only specific example of an Edgedancer given thus far in the series, has the unique ability to extract Stormlight from food through an ability granted by the [[Nightwatcher]].
▲The Surge of [[Surgebinding#Progression|Progression]] allows them to make plants or other organic objects grow much faster than normal.{{book ref|sa2|part=ars}} They can also heal, and although the extent of this ability is unknown, it seems that the wielder is even able to heal others from wounds suffered from Shardblades.

* [[Godeke]] (bonded to [[Archinal]])
* [[Lorain]] (bonded to unan unknown cultivationspren)
 
==Trivia==
* If he had joined the [[Knights Radiant]], [[Wayne]] would most likely have been in the Order of Edgedancers. Most of the Ordersorders would look very strangely upon Wayne.{{wob ref|11843}}
* If she had joined the [[Knights Radiant]], [[Wan ShaiLu]] would most likely have been in the Order of Edgedancers.{{wob ref|11128}}
