The Knights Radiant (or Surgebinders in general) were not something that were intended to exist by the Shards on Roshar. They weren’t designed into the system; they’re more of an accident.

==Q&A with Brandon==
Q. Can you tell me something about the cosmere that you haven't told anyone before?
A. There are inhabited planets in the cosmere that don't have any Shards there. There may be inhabited planets that only have a Splinter of a Shard. There are 10 core cosmere planets, which tell the overarching story of the cosmere.
Q. You have said before that all the planets had their names before the arrival of the Shards. Is Roshar the planet's name before the Shards arrived?
A. Yes.Roshar
