The '''Day of Recreance''' was the final act of the [[Knights Radiant]].

''See also: [[False Desolation]]''
==Cause==▼
The Knights Radiant somehow discovered that [[surgebinding]] had destroyed the world humankind first inhabited and humans then invaded the singer's land. When previous generation had learned this fact, [[Honor]] had counseled them that their cause was just. During the generation of the Recreance, Honor was deteriorating for an unknown reason 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. ▼
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 [[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 is known as [[parshmen]].
While this was occurring, the Knights Radiant were forced to abandon [[Urithiru]]. For some unknown reason, the [[Sibling]] withdrew from the tower. People blamed this withdraw 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 an increased air pressure, continued to work.{{epigraph ref|sa3|69}} Some of the Radiants seemed concerned about the Unmade infiltrating the tower because of the failing protections when they left.{{epigraph ref|sa3|73}}

| 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.
