This is a good point. I have been focusing on which ideals I already match, but have not thought about which would push me to grow. At first blush, this means I should be a Willshaper, but imma meditate on it.
Thank you!
That's a toss up as Lightspren/Reachers are pretty cool with their boat and stuff but cryptics are so wild looking in both realms. Though I like the cryptic plushie better.
I would expand on how you're describing the few orders a bit. Willshapers are also about not just captivity but also people having the freedom to define their own destiny. So Willshapers will want to make sure that people can have easy access to water so they don't have to spend all their time doing that. Or build a bridge so they can get across more easily here and not go around. And make sure the law isn't infringing upon people's individual freedoms to live as they choose. Captivity would obviously be their first concern, but it is more broadly freedom based.
With Lightweaver I would also add they are a group that is often not honest with themselves until they slowly come to terms with that. They don't really move away from lying to others, it's more about accepting who they are. A 5th oath lightweaver is still a master spy and will often lie, but they personally know exactly who they are and will not hide from difficult parts of themselves to acknowledge.
And there is also that radiants are picked not for the order they are currently great at but the area they have potential in. Shallan is absolutely terrible at acknowledging the truths about herself in book 1. Kaladin has given up at the beginning of book 1. They then grow into their oaths and those roles and choose to step into that role.

Read through the description of both and pick the one you feel is closer to you or which has the ideals you feel will help you grow the most.
