This week Senne defines the Willshapers...
Prepare to say the words...
Get ready to dive into each of the Radiant Orders with Senne Khald (apprentice Worldsinger) as we near the Words of Radiance leatherbound crowdfunding campaign. Each week, you can expect a new journal entry focused on a different order from Senne. Meet back here every Tuesday to see the next entry. (Joining the pre-launch campaign? You're in luck. Those that do will get to see the new entries a day early!)

All the revealed artworks are really good. I absolutely love the artwork of Shallan as kid talking to Hoid, that is one of the best moments/scene I have ever read or seen.
Marie Seeberger is a GOATed cosmere artist; every single piece is a certified banger.
The art was SO good! Does anyone else feel something weird is going on? Brandon had to approve this, and Shallan is being depicted in the WILLSHAPER video? I'm thinking mistake but who knows
@hubrisnxs2013 This is Shallan's book. A large majority of the art shown has been of her, regardless of the Order.
@@hubrisnxs2013 These videos are showcasing the art in Words of Radiance. Shallan was present in several of the last Radiant orders videos as well.
all of the Shallan and Hoid scenes are unbelievable
"Well sometimes Willshapers destroy things too" ROFL
This needs to be the highest upvoted comment. I almost spit my drink out when I head that line.
All I thought was “enter America. Freedom ain’t free” I know that’s the worst take for the order, but it cracked me up😂
Yup fantastic line.
I immediately said, "Oh my god their libertarians!"
that's the first time I've heard rofl in a while tbh
As much as I'd love to be a Windrunner or an Edgedancer, I can't help but feel my soul resonates with the order of the Willshapers
Technically edgedancer, lightweaver and truthwatcher all edge out willshaper for me ( plus windrunner is a tie), but the more I understand Willshapers, the more I know that I would be one.
The Quiz told me i am a Willshaper... And this video just gave me reassurance. Can't wait to see more of the Order in the following books and more Knights from it
Wait what quiz? I'm curious now
Me too!
@@pendagar449there's a radiant order quiz on Sanderson's website
Me 3
I am also a Willshaper
As a sciences and shop class teacher I feel very much at home in my Willshaper order. This video just reinforced that feeling❤
This is Monkey D Luffy's Radiant order 😂
Yes it is
+
Inherited will, freedom to choose, destroying evil and oppression. Yup this is Luffy!
I've been a Willshaper for years but haven't truly understood what that means in today's world. I don't often have the opportunity to break people out of cages... But this helps me understand! It's about every person being able to make whatever choices they want for their own life! And in that, I believe wholeheartedly! I'm very queer and I believe that every human being should be able to decide for themselves who they are, what they want to be, and how they want to live. I agree with the oaths for any other orders and could certainly learn a lot through them, but this belief is central to who I am in a way that the others cannot be. I am, have always been, and will always be: a Willshaper
I think the coolest part about Willshapers, is the Spren they bond.. I'd so love to be a a trader sailing in Shadesmar alongside my Spren.
So glad we finally are getting the Willshaper video!
No other order resonates with me on such a fundamental level.
I like how the order with purple and gold dropped on Mardi Gras lol
I love this one. We need to see more Willshapers up close and personal.
Finally, now I know what Radiant Order Ron Swanson would belong to. Godspeed Sanderson.
When the quiz came out a while back, I was skeptical about my result. But after some time and seeing the order in such a lovely video, I can’t help but look forward to the Willshaper book
Rhythm of War was the willshaper book
I've got some bad news buddy
crap, i had forgotten about Venli since it was essentially Windrunner #2
@@MrGrizzly7392arguably, there are 3 focus characters: Venli/Eshonai, Kaladin, and Navani.
However, the "focus" characters are the ones who get dedicated flashbacks; RoW was Venli. We'll almost certainly see more of her and more Willshapers in the future, though. After all, we're not even 1/2 way through the series
@@MrGrizzly7392 You mean Bondsmith #2?
YES! I always loved the implications of the Willshapers and this absolutely confirms they're the order for me.
Been waiting for this one! I wasn't so sure about getting Willshaper on the quiz a few years ago, especially since we didn't know much about them. Now I'm sure I'd be a willshaper lol, #SayTheWords !
As a Willshaper (according to the quiz), I stand by this.
Beautiful artwork for sure!
I joined the Willshapers before Rythem of War came out, even got a tattoo before the book.
But ive never regretted it. In fact thinking of my oaths has helped me to be more self assured as i help my friends escape state's that opress them. I am still not as confident as i want to be, but thats what the journey is about.
I came up as a Willshaper pretty strongly on the test, and I agree; I believe in seeking freedom, and I agree with how our order is described in this video for the most part.
I will say though, I can see why out of all the orders willshapers are the most varied in terms of belief. You can have everyone from the most conservative person to the most liberal individual within this order working towards freedom, but I wonder; how many willshapers believe in exercising your freedom to restrict somebody else's freedom? No willshaper believe in restricting freedom! But wait, perception is a powerful thing. An individual might feel held back by somebody else, and theg might be justified to feel that way, but an individual can just as easily hold themselves back and blame somebody else.
Willshapers don't just help people do whatever they think they want to do in my opinion; as a willshaper I think that it should be the individuals choice to chase after addictive substances, however, even if they say that is what they want, I think it is the willshaper's job to free them from that bondage.
What we say we want isn't always what we actually want, so my goal as a willshaper is to free people from the chains of slavery that they choose to wear. I don't do this by force, it remains the individual's choice, but if I can help someone to recognize that what they think they want is self destructive and unhelpful and isn't actually what they want, then I can actively help them to achieve freedom.
Agree with that! I was also thinking something like helping people to become free thinkers by identifying chains and helping to break them.
Ok Eren
You have to (or should) have some level of Selflessness to serve in a Radiant Order. The paradox of tolerance applies. Killing a King who wishes to oppress is fully in line with the ideals as his individual freedom in no way trumps others.
I disagree with the notion that this order would attract many conservative people. Hell, I don't even think it would attract a ton of liberals (though it would attract some). This order is the most fundamentally socialist of any of the orders - tearing down unjust hierarchies is literally the basis of what socialism is about, whereas conservatism is fundamentally about upholding hierarchies that conservatives see as necessary.
The statement that "Willshapers are quite different from each other" seems to me to be more a statement of their personality and convictions than a statement of their political beliefs and morals. To put it another way: their shared political beliefs are what LEAD to their varied personalities.
@@Ruminations09 This is the way.
According to the quiz, this is my order.
While I don't agree 100% with example given in the video, freedom to choose is absolutely one of my core values.
So given that and the fact that each Willshaper can be completely unique from each other, I think I would fit well enough.
Ive been wondering when in the timeline these blurbs are being written. The fact she doesn’t mention willshapers only being singers now makes me think she’s a pre Recreance scholar.
Good point but it does tell you the date. Compare to dates in the Death Rattles for confirmation of your theory!
@@hubrisnxs2013 nothing in the books so far uses the epoch dating scheme being used here as far as i know
@@obviousalias132Dalinar's vision in WoK takes place in the Eighth Epoch
@@adamklaits6379 oh awesome thank you
The first video (Windrunners) establishes that she's from the Sixth Epoch; that's one of the Heraldic Epochs, when the Heralds and the Knights together fought in the Desolations. There were at least eight epochs that we've heard of.
Now im even more proud of being a willshaper
The music is hauntingly beautiful
I love all of these.
I can't wait to see more about this order (my order) in the books ❤
yesss finally!! the quiz made me a willshaper and i am obsessed
I am a Lightweaver according to the quiz, and I strongly identify with that, but this is the first video that makes me feel like I want to be of another order!
Live and let live. I like it 🔥I hope Adolin becomes a willshaper in book 5!
I'd suggest reordering this playlist to play them in release order, or at least move this before lightweaver. Also add stoneward and bondsmith to this playlist.
finally my order...yes freedom is life.
My second order on my birthday. This is a good day
What happens when your truest wants or desires clash with other people's truest wants and desires? If building a dam will free you up from subsistence farming to become an artist, which your really want. But it'll force someone living on the land where the dam is being built to leave their home, which they really love. That's the reason most of us can't live exactly the way we really want, because other people really want other things.
Taken the quiz many times over many years always expecting a different answer but every time it is just a higher percentage of Willshaper. I was kind of hoping for elsecaller, but it is what it is 😅
Willshapers are willing to build a bridge? Anyone else think of the Diagram predicting that the Parshendi (Listeners as they prefer) or one of them will form a bridge?
I think we need more willshapers...
I wish we could get these art pieces as prints
Proud to be a Willshaper
I love those videos
I haven't seen videos for Stonewards or Bondsmiths yet. Are those forthcoming?
Never mind. They're on the UA-cam page, just not on the playlist.
thought I was a truthwatcher from the quiz but after learning about the other orders I'm not so sure haha
I’ve been waiting for this to come out ever since I took the test and realized the only other willshaper is my boy Venli and there isn’t a whole ton of info on the order
Boy? But Venli isn't a guy
I'm afraid there has been a terrible mistake. Venli is not a guy, my guy.
Cool! I can't wait until we meet a Willshaper in the books
Venli is a Willshaper.
Both Venli and Eshonai were Willshapers.
@@Ruminations09 Oh, really? I thought they were something else for some reason
Finally. Ron Swanson can now say the words.
Oath 1. I will build for those who can't build for themselves.
Oath 2. I will eat all the bacon and eggs you have. Wait. . . I want to make sure you heard me. I didn't say I would "eat alot of bacon and eggs". What I said was "I will eat all the bacon and eggs you have"
THESE WORDS ARE ACCEPTED!
i free you from the bondage of bacon.
@@hrbaconthese words. . . are not accepted.
So willshapers are just libertarians who will actually build the roads?
Anarcho-Libertarians who actually put their money where their mouth is.
I identify with this order. I see it more as enablers and anti-oppressors. If someone cannot do something they want to because of a physical or social limitation, a Willshaper will help them with that obstacle.
I'm very strongly a Willshaper, but I am quite conservative.
I believe that laws are restrictive; to the law abiding.
That's the distinction for me; if everyone were perfect and didn't have contradictory beliefs or seek to control others and actually sought what they want and not what they think they want (self destructive tendencies are something people "want", but in reality, addiction is just something that someone should be convinced to desire freedom from), then laws would be only restrictive.
I'm very much a Willshaper and am a Socialist in real life, so...
If you're using "libertarian" (with a lowercase 'L') in its original use - where it refers to a specific type of socialism - then yes.
If you're referring to "Libertarian" (with an uppercase 'L') as in the American political party - then no.
The quiz told me I'm a will shaper and it sounds great. Im still giving heart eyes to edge dancer cause that sounds closer to my real life future profession( doctor)
Willshapers sound dope 😆
What's their surges again?
Funnily enough, I think this video may have cemented that I am a Lightweaver in my mind. Just due to some of the descriptions given here and how they contrast with Willshapers.
Yay 💜💜
As a teacher I think it is no surprise I am a Willshaper.
But what If what I want is in conflict with what someone else wants?
What does the Willshaper do then? Who do they choose? how do they choose?
I think the idea is everything is on a case by case basis. What is it that you both want? A job? Specific resources? A lover? And it would be up to the Willshaper’s personal philosophies. Did the job choose the other person because they’re more qualified or because you were discriminated against? Should the resource be owned by any one group or person or should it belong to the people, in which case neither of you get it? If it’s a lover, well, unless the other person is being forced by parents or the other suitor, you’re out of luck, friend. It isn’t the most efficient or consistent order, so asking two different willshapers might get you two different answers.
Hell yeah
It's me! :D
The existentialism order 💚
Willshapers 🤝 Anarchists 🏴
Down with all forms of hierarchy and oppression, I will seek freedom for those in bondage.
Why is there Shallan art in the willshaper video?
There has been Shallan art in ALL of the radiant order videos because this whole series is promotional material for the Words of Radiance leatherbound campaign which launches in a few weeks.
What spren do they bond?
Lightspren or "Reachers"
I've been learning about Simone Weit recently, and I think she'd be a good role model of a willshaper for anyone curious.
Oh man... I wonder if Thaidakar would be a Willshaper if he could bond a spren
I love these videos, and I am happy to the writers and visual artists being credited.
But could you please credit the composer/s and musicians.
Temptation to join another order....
I knew i liked willshapers for a reason.
We're still waiting on stonewards, right?
And Bondsmiths.
Adoooonalsium

Willshapers report in!
That's me!
It's increíble how this video is so SOY ESE, i love it
We ball!
WILLSHAPER! My order. Cool video, that being said... I wish it had mentioned there are currently no Human Willshapers. They could have at least SHOWN Venli & Timbre in the video.
It looks like these descriptions are from a world singer alive when all the Knights Radiant were still around. This is all from before Way of Kings.
Why there isn't a single line about their lashes ?
Surges. Transportation and Cohesion.
I’ve watched both videos and taken the test, but I can’t tell whether I’m a Lightweaver or a Willshaper, they both fit my personality:/
I think it’s technically possible to join more than one order.
Just like in any group of people, there's going to be variation within the orders. You aren't defined by one quality or characteristic and neither is anyone else. Being a lightweaver doesn't mean that you couldn't possibly be a willshaper and vice versa. Just like being a doctor doesn't mean you couldn't possibly have been a teacher or an electrician or anything else you wanted to be.
My people
Willshapers! Mount up
It means...get on your horses.
Interesting we saw Shallan as a child, shes not a willshaper, and neither is Hoid, but there is a theory there was a Willshaper close to Shallan back then.
Shallan has been prominently featured in EVERY video, for every order so far. The pictures aren't pictures of the order. They're just artwork that's going to be in the WoR Leatherbound.
I’m a Skybreaker but these guys seem nice
I also love both order, my quiz put me as a willshaper and second as a skybreaker, I wish there was a mix of both.
Also a Skybreaker (in case the profile picture didn't give it away). My reaction to this video was very much, "Cool, and when some people use the freedom you've given them to make themselves worse rather than better, we'll be there to help prevent people getting hurt."
Gotta max out materia. Just fight the swarm of bugs over andnover to Ap farm
Confirmed: Satoshi Nakamoto was a Willshaper.
This sounds like a very hard order. You cant help everyone be free to live out their dreams. There is always contradictions.
Indeed. If the king’s dream is to be a tyrant, he apparently doesn’t get to live his dream.
@@johnhogue9402 when somebody uses their freedom to restrict someone else's freedom, that's the thing.
Willshapers have the most varied and contradictory beliefs out of all of the orders of knights, which is probably why I so strongly came up as a willshaper, because I always find something to disagree with my peers on.
That's what the ideals are for. Take the windrunners: even though their main thing is protecting people, there's an ideal about how "there are those you can't protect". I think the ideals would build upon each other so a Willshaper won't back a tyrant
Everyone should be free to work out the contradictions that arise from opposing dreams. There will always be give and take in the interaction of free entities. If the entity's dream is to take everyone else's freedom (the tyrant example above), there is no give and take, so the entity is working against what the Willshapers seek to achieve. Seems fairly clear cut to me.
@@johnhogue9402 That's the paradox of Tolerance. We don't have to be tolerant of intolerance, in fact to have tolerance we must root out intolerance with extreme prejudice.
I wonder if Adolin will be a willshapper. I think he will reforge a bond with his dead blade and become a knight radiant.
Maya is an edgedancer spren I believe so
@@danielalexander9418 I thought that as well, but we don’t know yet do we? What are the willshapper spren like? His personality fits willshapper so well.
@davidgillis950 I think he is more of a skybreaker than a willshaper (I see them as opposite ends of a continuum and he is somewhere in the middle) the actual traits that he upholds are most in line with edgedancers, with a helping of windrunner and elsecaller.
@@davidgillis950 1) maya is for sure a deadeye cultivationspren, and 2) people are more than their single order (as evidenced by so many of us qualifying for multiple orders). It’s a combination of luck and predisposition. My favorite example of this is Lopen’s cousin, Huio, who is fascinated by the broke clock fabrial in Dawnshard. That has Dustbringer written all over it, yet he’s still a Windrunner because of his environment.
I'm not a huge fan of the Stormlight Archive (books are to big) and don't really understand what these videos are. Can someone educate me?
No. Go read the books. Journey before destination.
@@PlagueKing_LordFalix There is no other more acurate, in world, answer than this one
I'm going to go ahead and expand on what PlagueKing_LordFalix said since it probably confused you a bit. You see, there are ten orders of Knights Radiant and all of those orders believe in Journey before Destination. So stop trying to get to the Destination and go enjoy the Journey of reading the books. Who cares if they're big books. That just makes the Journey bigger and richer.
@@rainman6090 Thanks, I've read the first three books I just didn't know if this was just for fans.
How could a unified Knights Radiants exist? Willshapers and Skybreakers seem like natural enemies.
Common goals & purpose are powerful bonds.
skybreakers follow some law or someone, because they think their own judgement to be insufficient.
willshapers want everyone to live out their personal freedom, as long as it doesn't impact other people's freedom
if the willshapers create laws that align with their orders beliefs, the skybreakers could follow the willshapers' sense of justice and the two would be perfectly aligned
Oddly, I think they would be fine compliments for one another, which really surprised me. I definitely align more with the Skybreaker worldview, but that's because I believe people are naturally evil. I truly believe in John Madison's claim that, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." If Willshapers help to make people a little closer to angels, then Skybreakers become less necessary. But so long as people aren't angels, Skybreakers will stand against those who would use their freedom to harm others. I'm actually really starting to like the pairing of the orders the more I think about it.
Wasn't Shallan insecure about her beauty because her face wasn't round enough for Alethi standards? If that isn't round enough, I can't imagine Jasnah's face since she's described as the perfect Alethi woman
Okay, but what are their powers?
Cohesion and Transportation.
When are you going to fantasize Will Shakespeare?
So Monkey D Luffy
Libertarians but Good?
I have said before that I used to consider myself libertarian until I interacted with other libertarians. I empathize with and relate to the overall philosophy of allowing people to given themselves as much as possible, but most libertarians I have interacted with take it to an extreme that ignores the realities of living in a society where we all in some way rely on others and others rely on us. This video makes me think the Willshapers will mostly fall in that same bucket.
Libertarians (at least in America) are basically Anarcho Capitalists, they embrace the selfish ideology of "Screw you , I got mine." Seems to me Willshaper (really all the Radiant Orders) has to embrace a healthy amount of selflessness.
I think this falls much more on the lines of existentialism than it does libertarianism.
Not to get too much into irl politics but there is a pretty important distinction between right-wing libertarians (in the US sense) and the traditional (leftist) line of anarchists, the latter being much more keen on how people are only free in a society where other people recognize them as free (most clearly stated by bakunin and malatesta), given that willshapers will build systems and infrastructure for the sake of others, they seem to fall much more into the traditional anarchist category, then again this is a fantasy setting so its probs for the best not to try to force everything into our irl molds
Wow, it feels like members of this order could manifest in a lot of different ways. At first, I thought "activist", but technically all the Radiant orders are activists after some fashion. Then, I starting thinking about specific jobs or roles. I was hearing "psychiatrist, civil engineer, sociologist, scientist." These guys seem like they could be just about anything, a "kitchen sink" order focused around "giving people more options."
Since I'm moderately confident there's a chance Adam will read this - do you think that foot fetishes have a higher rate of incidence in Roshar because of the hyper sexualization of safehands?
I said this in another comment but it's worth repeating because people are bringing up the term "Libertarian" a lot.
"Libertarian" was originally a term that applied to some socialists and was basically a synonym with "anarchist", but later that word was appropriated by capitalists who wanted capitalism with no restrictions. But capitalism is by its very definition and function a hierarchical system, which is the exact opposite of what anarchism is. So basically modern libertarianism (libertarian capitalism) is a lie and a contradiction
The Willshapers appear to be more in line with libertarian socialism or anarchism.
I was looking for this comment! My thoughts exactly!
So Willshapers are libertarians. Neat!
So what I'm hearing is Kelsier would make a good Willshaper.
Spoilers for all Mistborn books:
Era 1 Kelsier, perhaps.
What would a Willshaper do if one uses his freedom to kill innocents? Would they take his freedom from him?
"...well sometimes Willshapers destroy things too."
Ah. Willshapers are the embodiment of enablers.
ah libertarians
Laws are systems which can (and should) be made to maximize Liberty while enabling a Just, Equal, & Equitable Society. Libertarians are far more Anarchistic. Which doesn't mean a Willshaper isn't a Libertarian, but it is far from a requirement.
Can u give historic names, that have been willshapers ?
Alesxander the Great ? Elon Musk ?
Very few willshapers would be famous imo. Alexander the Great was a literal conqueror and Musk is far from the proponent of freedom he claims to be. I imagine willshapers would most be the teacher who taught you how to read. The volunteer at the park showing kids how to use power tools. A grandparent showing their grandkids how to fish. The union leader ensuring management doesn’t squeeze blood from a stone. If you need a big names, check out Shawn Fain and Norm Finkelstein.

This makes Willshapers arguably one of the most dangerous orders.
No where is it mentioned whether or not this "personal freedom of choice at all costs" mentality protects the rights of others in any way.
What if your goal is, "I want to be the most successful mass-murderer ever"? Is there a Willshaper out there who would help this person fulfill their goals in minute detail?
Sanderson did say that the Willshapers probably wouldn't have any problem with Adolin killing Sadeas.
@@rainman6090 Honestly? I don't either. I consider it self-defense, not murder. But just like the Skybreakers can tread into Lawful Stupid terrain, I worry that the Willshapers might dip into the "only your goals matter and everyone else be damned" pool.
@@Darkkfated Probably depends on the Willshaper. They seem to be a pretty varied order in terms of beliefs, but I think most Willshapers would view mass murder as a violation of others personal freedom. While something like Adolin killing Sadeas might fall into the self defense bucket. Also Sadeas was a sadistic Tyrant to his bridge crews which would probably put him at odds with Willshapers.
Honestly, I wouldn’t put it past one crazy willshaper to find a loophole. “You desire death? let’s find you people wanting to die” and boom you have a semi-questionable death with dignity policy.
Jokes aside, Willshapers would constantly be considering *everyone’s* freedom as illustrated with the above example. If it’s a one-sides freedom, then that’s just oppression.
Please rewrite Rhythms of Bore.
Just spoke to Brandon, this comment convinced him! Stay tuned!
Go read the twilight saga. I hear is very funny
