<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Bondsmiths''' are one of the ten orders of [[Knights Radiant]], the rarest and in some ways the most powerful, devoted to unity and the binding of people and forces together, wielding the [[Surges]] of Tension and Adhesion. They are associated with the [[The Heralds|Herald]] [[Ishar]]. Unlike other orders, the Bondsmiths are limited to only three at a time, each bonded to one of three great spren. In [[The Stormlight Archive]], [[Dalinar Kholin]] is the foremost Bondsmith.<br />
<br />
== Surges ==<br />
Bondsmiths command the Surges of '''Tension''' and '''Adhesion'''. '''Tension''', shared with the [[Stonewards]], grants control over the rigidity of objects. '''Adhesion''', shared with the [[Windrunners]], grants the power to bind things together. Beyond their Surges, however, the Bondsmiths possess unique abilities tied to unity, connection, and the binding of bonds themselves, including powers that exceed the ordinary application of their two Surges.<br />
<br />
== The Three Bondsmiths ==<br />
Where other orders may have many members, only three Bondsmiths can exist at once, each bonded to one of the three mightiest [[Spren]] of [[Roshar]]: the [[Stormfather]] (the spren of the [[The Highstorm|highstorm]] and a sliver of [[Honor]]); the [[Nightwatcher]] (tied to [[Cultivation]]); and the [[Sibling]] (tied to [[Urithiru]] itself). This makes the order extraordinarily rare and its members exceptionally significant.<br />
<br />
== Ideals ==<br />
After the shared First Ideal, the Bondsmiths swear oaths centered on unity. [[Dalinar Kholin]]'s defining oath -- ''I will unite instead of divide. I will bring men together.'' -- captures the order's calling to bind the fractured peoples of Roshar against [[Odium]].<br />
<br />
== Notable Members ==<br />
[[Dalinar Kholin]], highprince of [[Alethkar]] and bonded to the [[Stormfather]], is the foremost Bondsmith of the Archive and the architect of the coalition against [[Odium]].<br />
<br />
== Significance ==<br />
The Bondsmiths, through their unique spren bonds and their power of unity, are pivotal to gathering the nations and orders of Roshar into a single front, making them perhaps the most strategically vital of all the [[Knights Radiant]].<br />
