== Ideals of the Bondsmiths ==
The Ideals of the Knights Radiant, also known as the [[Immortal Words]], are a set of rules by which the Radiant lived. The First Ideal, identical for all orders of the Radiants, is used as their motto. Each of the Radiant Orders then has an additional four ideals that are unique to each order.{{wob ref|13781}}
The theme of the Bondsmiths ideals are "I will unite".{{
=== The First Ideal ===
In the time before the Recreance the Bondsmiths commonly had no more than three members, making them the smallest of the Orders.{{epigraph ref|sa2|44}} However, this is not a constant and there has been a time where there was only one Bondsmith, and never more than three.
Bondsmith oaths are focused on unity, unification, and bringing others together. However, this is a loose theme, as there are so few Bondsmiths—and the three sources of their powers are so different in personality—that the oaths can end up taking a variety of different shapes, depending on the situation.{{wob ref|
Anyone can become a Bondsmith, subject to persuading one of the three spren who grant Bondsmith powers. Those powers tend to work differently for one Bondsmith than another, and even those Surges they share with other Orders tend to work differently for Bondsmiths.{{wob ref|
The Bondsmiths are unusual in that there are never more than three full members. Historically, they worked to resolve disputes and help set up functioning governments. Even though there can only be three full members, there were times that some Bondsmiths did take squires. Beyond that, many of the retinues that protected the Bondsmiths were considered members of the Order–going so far as to swear oaths, even though they didn’t have a spren and never would. Some even called this the most pure form of being a Radiant, because these were oaths sworn not in the name of gaining powers, but simply for the good of the oaths themselves.{{wob ref|
Bondsmiths are generally the heart and soul of the Radiants, the most protected and highly regarded of the Orders, capable of doing incredible things with the nature of oaths, bonds, and power. The Order, including the aforementioned squires and attendants, tends to attract the peacemakers of the world, those who want to bring people together rather than divide them.{{wob ref|

|We are uncertain the effects this will have on the parsh. At the very least, it should deny them forms of power. Melishi is confident, but Naze-daughter-Kuzodo warns of unintended side effects.

It is possible that a Bondsmith's powers are responsible for the act that robbed nearly every singer of their minds.{{epigraph ref|sa2|58}} During the [[False Desolation]] a strike team of Radiants attacked the Unmade [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], who had Connected with the singers centuries after [[Aharietiam]]. The Bondsmith Melishi's goal was to use his abilities to imprison Ba-Ado-Mishram within a perfect gem to deny the enemy forms of power and [[Voidlight]].{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} This attack was apparently successful at imprisoning the Unmade,{{book ref|sa3|prologue}} but perhaps inadvertently{{epigraph ref|sa3|81}} the singers Connected to the Unmade had a piece of their soul ripped out, rendering them into the servile parshmen.{{book ref|sa3|17}}
