You must find the most important words a man can say. It has been theorized by fans that the "most important words", in King Gavilar's message to Dalinar, given with his last breath:īrother. That's kind of the philosophy behind "strength before weakness." Theory Everybody is weak sometimes everybody is strong sometimes, and we need each other. And the idea is that one is strong for the weak when the weak cannot be strong, because someone will need to be there for the other to be strong when one is weak. Like the other two (i.e., "life before death" and "journey before destination") "strength before weakness" has a natural sort of sense to it. Rhythm of War digs into "strength before weakness" a little bit more. *According to Brandon, there are several sorts of ways that he interprets this, and like all of them, he wants to interpret them differently throughout the books. Nale is the only current Skybreaker to have achieved it - and the only Herald - as it has been centuries since anyone mastered the Fifth Ideal. – A specialized form of the Fourth Ideal of the Skybreakers, as sworn by Szeth Ĭalled the Ideal of Law, this requires the Skybreaker to swear an oath that they will become a personification of law and truth. I will cleanse the Shin of their false leaders, so long as Dalinar Kholin agrees. – A specialized form of the Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners, as sworn by Kaladin I accept that there will be those I cannot protect! I will take responsibility for what I have done, if I must fall, I will rise each time a better man. I will listen to those who have been ignored. – Teft’s specialized Third Ideal of the Windrunners I will protect even those I hate, so long as it is right. I will seek freedom for those who are in bondage. I will remember those who have been forgotten. I will protect those who cannot protect themselves. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished. Protecting ten innocents is not worth killing one. Failure is preferable to winning through unjust means. Journey before destination - There are always several ways to achieve a goal.Strength does not make one capable of rule it makes one capable of service. The Radiant protects those who are weak, and uses his strength for others. Strength before weakness - All men are weak at some time in their lives.He never kills unnecessarily, and never risks his own life for frivolous reasons. Life before death - The Radiant seeks to defend life, always.To embody these Ideals and act accordingly upon them, according to a particular spren. –Kaladin's thoughts regarding Dalinar's comments The Knights Radiant did have ideals - and they'd called them that very thing. But the First Ideal was the same for each of the ten: Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination." The four later Ideals were said to be different for every order of Radiants. "But the Immortal Words - these Ideals - guided everything they did. That was their motto, and was the First Ideal of the Immortal Words. The four later Ideals were said to be different for each order of Radiants. The First Ideal is the motto of the Knights Radiant and was shared by all ten orders. These Ideals were based on the lessons taught in Nohadon's book, The Way of Kings. The Immortal Words are a set of rules by which the Knights Radiant lived, and guided the things they did.
