The '''Day of Recreance''' was the final act of the [[Knights Radiant]]. Nine of the ten orders abandoned their [[Shardblade]]s and [[Shardplate]] and broke their oaths, killing their [[spren]]. The [[Order of Skybreakers]] was the one order that did not participate; instead, the Skybreakers hid themselves away.{{book ref|sa3|40}} For around two thousand years{{wob ref|9655}}{{book ref|sa3|56}} the reason for the Recreance remained unknown until it was rediscovered in the [[Eila Stele]] during the [[True Desolation]].
== Lead Up ==
Right before the Recreance, the Radiants had been fighting in the [[False Desolation]]. [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], one of the nine [[Unmade]], had learned how to [[Connection|Connect]] to the singers to give them forms of power and [[Voidlight]]. The fighting was particularly intense at this time.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}} In an attempt to stop the fighting, the Radiants sent a strike team to try and imprison Ba-Ado-Mishram using the unique powers of the [[Bondsmiths]]. {{epigraph ref|sa3|79}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} Presumably this strike team succeeded, as the singers lost their [[Identity]] and Connection and were unable to think or act independently, becoming what are known as [[parshmen]].
While this was occurring, the Knights Radiant were forced to abandon [[Urithiru]]. For some unknown reason, later revealed to be Mishram's imprisonment{{book ref|sa4|49}}, the [[Sibling]] withdrew from the tower. People blamed this withdrawal on increased conflicts among the Radiants and claimed the Sibling withdrew intentionally, but scholars of the time disagreed.{{epigraph ref|sa3|68}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|70}} Some of the tower's protections failed, leading to wilting plants and cooling air, but other functions, such as
== Cause ==
The Knights Radiant somehow discovered that [[Surgebinding]] had destroyed [[Ashyn]], 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 Ashyn, 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.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
[[Mayalaran]] indicated that the Recreance was a conscious choice, with the Knights and their bonded spren in agreement, and not the grievous betrayal of spren by the Orders that

The Knights' actions during the Recreance led not only to the destruction of the orders as a whole
Society quickly changed after the Recreance and began to form the culture seen in modern Roshar. Those in power wanted control of the Shardblades. To prevent women from wielding them, they encouraged following [[Arts and Majesty]], a philosophical book claiming masculine arts are two-handed and feminine arts are one-handed. In retaliation, a movement of women claimed the ability to read and write for themselves.{{wob ref|6245}} It is also likely that the division between [[lighteyes]] and [[darkeyes]] was formed during this time. Eye color is connected to the memory of the Radiants.{{wob ref|5546}}{{wob ref|8628}}The lighteyes' authority likely extends from those memories. The majority of lighteyes are descended from people whose eyes changed color, which would mean their ancestors were either Radiants or [[Shardbearer]]s.{{wob ref|81}}
Spren societies were completely decimated. The majority of the surviving spren were mere children at the time
Within two hundred years of the Recreance, knowledge of the Radiants was already beginning to be lost. It was difficult to distinguish facts, superstition, and lore.{{book ref|sa2|77}} At some point, many Shardblades were lost, as hundreds were dropped during the Recreance, and only around eighty are known in the modern world.{{book ref|sa1|52}}
