<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''Lightweavers''' are one of the ten orders of [[Knights Radiant]], masters of illusion and truth, wielding the [[Surges]] of Illumination and Transformation. They are associated with the [[The Heralds|Herald]] [[Shalash]] and bond cryptics (also called liespren). In [[The Stormlight Archive]], [[Shallan Davar]] is the foremost Lightweaver.<br />
<br />
== Surges ==<br />
Lightweavers command the Surges of '''Illumination''' and '''Transformation'''. '''Illumination''', shared with the [[Truthwatchers]], grants the power to weave light and sound into illusions of remarkable subtlety and realism. '''Transformation''', also called Soulcasting and shared with the [[Elsecallers]], grants the power to change one substance into another by addressing its soul in [[Shadesmar]].<br />
<br />
== Ideals ==<br />
The Lightweavers are unique among the orders in their relationship to oaths. Rather than swearing a fixed sequence of Ideals like the others, after the shared First Ideal a Lightweaver must speak progressively deeper personal '''truths''' about themselves, confronting realities they have hidden or denied. This makes the order's advancement a journey of brutal self-honesty -- a difficult path for those, like [[Shallan Davar]], who use illusion to escape painful truths.<br />
<br />
== Spren ==<br />
Lightweavers bond cryptics, strange [[Spren]] of pattern and lies who are fascinated by spoken untruths and by the creative deceptions of art and story. [[Pattern]], bonded to [[Shallan Davar]], is the most prominent cryptic in the Archive.<br />
<br />
== Notable Members ==<br />
[[Shallan Davar]], a scholar and artist from [[Jah Keved]], is the foremost Lightweaver of the saga, bonded to [[Pattern]]. Her mastery of illusion and her struggle with her own buried truths exemplify the order.<br />
<br />
== Significance ==<br />
The Lightweavers' fusion of illusion, Soulcasting, and the demand for self-truth makes them one of the most psychologically distinctive of the [[Knights Radiant]] orders.<br />
