==History==
==Characteristics==
As indicated above, the Elsecallers were prodigiously benevolent with regard to visiting the spren in their realm, allowing others to join them in this. They were the prime liaisons with the great ones amongst the spren.

Elsecallers are all about potential and progress. They are polite, careful, cautious, and well considered.Elsecallers, YouTube, 2/7/24
==Known Elsecallers==
Jasnah Kholin, through Ivory, belongs to this order.
==Motto==
==Oaths==
Elsecaller oaths are, like those of the Lightweavers or Skybreakers, themed toward the individual. In this case, the theme is progress - becoming better with each oath, seeking to explore their true potential and reach it. Because of this, the order is open to many different types, so long as they want to improve themselves.
Thoughtful, careful, and cautious, the Elsecallers are generally regarded as the wisest of the Radiants. They seek self-improvement and personal betterment in their lives, but aren't limited to one specific theme or set of Ideals. This makes them one of the most open and welcoming of orders, though they do tend to attract those who are less flamboyant. They have their share of scholars, and often a large number of theologians, but also attract those who are interested in leadership. They are good at encouraging others, but some are known to set their sights upon the things they want and then seize them. In the Knights Radiant, they tend to be among the best tacticians, and are logistical geniuses, aided in part by their abilities to create food and water for armies, but also their ability to move in and out of Shadesmar.Ten Orders
==Immortal Words==
All Elsecallers must speak the Immortal Words of the Knights Radiant, which are a set of rules by which Radiants live. The First Ideal, identical for all orders of Radiants, is used as their motto. Each of the Radiant orders then had an additional number of Ideals that were unique to each order. For the Elsecallers, these Ideals are as follows:
===The First Ideal===
Also known as the Ideal of Radiance.
* To date, it remains unknown as to just when Jasnah may have spoken these words, let alone those of their ensuing Ideals, affording her the powers of an Elsecaller, given her bond with her spren, Ivory.

According to Brandon, Elsecallers feel like the journey is ... the journey is the entire species. And that the journey is the destination.Book signing, Hoboken, NJ, 12/3/16
Also according to Brandon, Elsecallers should be able to get back out of Shadesmar without having to find a perpendicularity,Book signing, Chicago, IL, 12/6/16 but Jasnah doesn't know how to do it yet.Book signing, Skokie, IL, 3/22/14 She should be able to do it, but just hasn't yet figured it out.Book signing, Prague, Czechia, 10/26/19
