| Regardless, I . . . understand now as I never did before. The ancient Radiants didn’t abandon their oaths out of pettiness. They tried to protect the world. I blame them for their weakness, their broken oaths. But I also understand.

The Knights Radiant somehow discovered that [[Surgebinding]] had destroyed the world mankind first inhabited and humans then invaded Roshar, the [[Dawnsingers]]' land. When previous generations had learned this fact, [[Honor]] had counseled them that their cause was just. During the generation of the Recreance, Honor was deteriorating under the onslaught of Odium and did not do so. Instead, he raved about the [[Dawnshard]]s, ancient weapons responsible for the destruction of the [[Tranquiline Halls]], and promised the Radiants they would also destroy [[Roshar]]. In order to save the world, nine Orders decided to give up their powers so that Roshar wouldn't be destroyed like their first world was.

| This act of great villainy went beyond the impudence which had hitherto been ascribed to the orders; as the fighting was particularly intense at this time, many attributed this act to a sense of inherent betrayal; and after they withdrew, about two thousand made assault upon them, destroying much of the membership; but this was only nine of the ten, as one said they would not abandon their arms and flee, but instead entertained great subterfuge at the expense of the other nine.

The Knight's actions during the Recreance led not only to the destruction of the orders as a whole, but also to the deaths of the former members. The sense of betrayal many felt at the act of the Radiants led many people to attack and kill them. The Skybreakers chose to hide their order and take up a mission of preventing the Knights Radiant from rising again, believing it would lead to the return of the [[Voidbringers]] and [[Desolation]]s.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}
