=== Historical Bondsmiths ===
The order of Radiants known as the Bondsmiths was founded by the Herald [[Ishar]] during the cycle of [[Desolation]]s, who also served as the order's patron.{{book ref|sa3|64}} The Bondsmiths along with the other orders helped in the fight each Desolation against the [[Voidbringer]]s.

The Bondsmith's focus was generally on unity and peacemaking, presumably during and between Desolations.{{wob ref|13781}} Instead of using their powers in an active combat role,{{book ref|sa3|64}} they helped resolve disputes between nations and set up functioning governments in regions where none existed.{{wob ref|13781}} Bondsmiths also helped keep the peace between the various orders of Radiants, who often clashed and squabbled with one another.{{epigraph ref|sa3|67}} The Bondsmiths persisted following [[Aharietiam]], but their post-Desolation role is unclear. They likely continued to help in the struggles against the remaining [[singer]]s.{{book ref|sa3|56}} By the time of the [[False Desolation]], only one true Bondsmith, Melishi, existed{{epigraph ref|sa3|79}} sworn to the Sibling. As a part of the plan to defeat [[Ba-Ado-Mishram]], Melishi used his powers to imprison the Unmade in a [[Perfect gemstone]],{{epigraph ref|sa3|80}} and likely assisted with the capture of [[Re-Shephir]].{{book ref|sa3|30}} This action damaged the Sibling, leaving it unable to hear the Rhythm of the Tower and create its own Light.{{cite}} The events of the Recreance followed shortly thereafter, and the fate of Melishi is uncertain, although he is said to have ended his bond to the Sibling prior to the Recreance. It is known however that the order of Bondsmiths was disbanded at this point.{{epigraph ref|sa2|41}}
