![]() They often attract tinkerers who like to dig down into the shape and soul of a thing, break it, and see what makes it work. ![]() They believe great power requires a strong will to control it. Each oath led to a greater understanding of power, the nature of holding it, and the associated responsibility.ĭustbringers - though they sometimes objected to the common name for their order, preferring instead to be called Releasers - are living contradictions among the Knights Radiant. As a Dustbringer moved through the oaths, they were taught greater powers of destruction - and are one of the only orders where their abilities weren't all available at the beginning, but instead were delivered slowly, as they made the proper oaths. They were led to understand that the powers they used needed to be properly channeled, much as their own desires and wills needed proper form and shape. ĭustbringer oaths were themed toward responsibility. Malata, through Spark, belongs to this order.Chanarach, (along with Nale of the Skybreakers) is one of only two Heralds to be a member of the order to which they serve as patron.The scent of burning fills the air, but the flames don't persist if she doesn't want them to. Marks spread out from the point of contact, little swirls of blackness etching themselves into the wood. Malata demonstrates this by pressing her safehand against a table.

Īccording to Pattern, Dustbringers destroy things. įrom Malata's conversation with Taravangian, it can be inferred that Dustbringers bond with ashspren. At that realization, Taravangian felt proud, for having actually located one of their number who could bond a spren, because that - by any means - had not been an assured accomplishment. Īccording to Taravangian, the Diagram explained that the Dustbringers would be the Radiants most likely to accept his and his compatriots' cause. They also exercised great anger in great prejudice regarding it. When they dealt with others, they were firm in their claim that other "epithets" (i.e., the title "Dustbringers," according to them), were unacceptable substitutions due to their similarity to the title, Voidbringers. ![]() –From Words of Radiance, chapter 17, page 11 Īs indicated above, the Dustbringers preferred to be called Releasers, and claimed as well to be misjudged because of the nature of their power. And when they were spoken of by the common folk, the Releasers claimed to be misjudged because of the dreadful nature of their power and when they dealt with others, always were they firm in their claim that other epithets, notably "Dustbringers," often heard in the common speech, were unacceptable substitutions, in particular for their similarity to the word "Voidbringers." They did also exercise anger in great prejudice regarding it, though to many who speak, there was little difference between these two assemblies.
