They were the ones that did the sometimes tough job of making certain that the orders didn't abuse their power to become tyrants, as the Skybreakers saw that those with powers could easily oppress those who had none. They were the ones who believed that nobody, not even a Radiant, should be above being questioned. This sometimes gave them a bad reputation among the more free-thinking orders of Knights, but the Skybreakers (at their best) were not merciless. The Skybreakers were the enforcers of the Knights Radiant, often tasked with keeping the peace, policing the other orders, and making certain that dangerous or dark forces in the world were contained. They generally reinforce the importance of moral codes, legal structures, and similar boundaries that protect civilization. Skybreaker oaths are themed toward justice, fighting for causes, and enforcing social rules.
Nale's underlings, both of whom wear uniforms in black and white, with swords at their waists.Szeth now belongs to this order, since being revived by Nale near the end of Words of Radiance, and has bonded with an unnamed highspren.Ref|wor|c|88}} He has now spoken the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Ideals.Nale (along with Chanarach of the Dustbringers), is one of only two Heralds to be a member of the order to which they serve as patron.They would chase an isolated squire, swarming him or her with a flurry of eight pouches, often scoring six or seven hits while rarely getting hit themselves. Each pole bears only a single color, encouraging competitors to move about to hit others with as many colors as possible. Trainees take quickly to the game, and pouches then are flung in all directions. Similarly, hitting each other in the face gains no advantage. Notably, the master said that only color on the uniform would be counted, so holding the pouches and dusting one's own fingers is fine. The winner is the one who has lost the fewest points. One loses four points for each different color on his/her uniform, and an additional point for each repeated hit from a color. These have been placed atop poles so that one must use Lashings in order to reach them. In a test of martial competence, the squires train using pouches bearing powders of different colors as their only weapons. When Szeth kills a fat nobleman, he tells Master Ki - who agrees with him - that he's killed the worst of them. Training Īs part of their training, the squires are responsible for killing or capturing criminals. Skybreakers' Shardplate is likely made up of lesser spren than highspren.

Īccording to Nale, the other orders of Knights Radiant always did consider themselves beyond the reach of the law. –From Words of Radiance, chapter 28, page 3 Īs stated above, the Skybreakers had considerable abilities for quelling disturbances amongst rival entities which amounted to almost divine skills. The considerable abilities of the Skybreakers for making such amounted to an almost divine skill, for which no specific Surge or spren grants capacity, but however the order came to such an aptitude, the fact of it was real and acknowledged even by their rivals. –From Words of Radiance, chapter 5, page 17 And thus were the disturbances in the Revv topiarchy quieted, when, upon their ceasing to prosecute their civil dissensions, Nalan'Elin be took himself to finally accept the Skybreakers who had named him their master, when initially he had spurned their advances and, in his own interests, refused to countenance that which he deemed a pursuit of vanity and annoyance this was the last of the Heralds to admit such patronage.
