You are now a Knight Radiant, of one of the ten orders. The orders are: Windrunners, Skybreakers, Dustbringers, Edgedancers, Truthwatchers, Lightweavers, Elsecallers, Willshapers, and Stonewards. Each of these orders has two out of a total of ten 'Surges' that they can wield. They gain their powers through an oath they have sworn to a type of spirit known as spren. Once they have sworn the correct ideals, they can also manifest armor known as Shardplate that boosts your physical abilities, and can turn your spren into a Shardblade, a weapon that carves through anything and cuts souls when it meets living flesh. The surges can be powers ranging from gravitation to adhesion to transformation. You have the ability to metabolize food to create lifelight which you use to power your abilities.
