AndrewHB

Is Niccolo Machiavelli’s political theory, the ends justify the means, incompatible with the Knights Radiants’ First Oath?

Brandon Sanderson

No. Although many of the Orders of KRs would find Machiavelli’s theory that the ends justify the means incompatible with additional Oaths and/or values of that Order, there are some Orders who could accept a Machiavellian. Brandon said that the Skybreakers where a Machiavellian could find a home.

Question

As Brandon was signing my books, I asked if the Elsecallers would also accept a Machiavellian.

Brandon Sanderson

Yes.
