| gergroy said: Yeah! Somebody else has read the books! I dont think you have to read warbreaker to understand nightblood. Im sure you will learn enough about nightblood in the next stormlight books for it to feel self contained. Its short appearance at the end was more of a tease and a wink to those in the know. Also, I dont think sveth will ever get a spren. They said that not every radiant had a spren, that some of them had honor blades. Thats what sveth had, and nightblood is supposed to be even more powerful than that. |
AFAIK it was the Heralds who had no spren, but the spren actually saw what Honor/Cultivation were doing and mimmicked it to create every Radiant order. There would be no way for the original Skybreakers to be rivals to the Windrunners of old if they had no spren of their own, and that's why I believe Nalan and his current Skybreakers are different from their past selves? Perhaps? It's still a bit confusing, really.
Unless Darkness is not Nalan, but only bears his honorblade and claims to be him, and created a order called Skybreakers, who has nothing to do with the original Skybreakers...
Either way, has it been estabilished who bears the Honorblades? Shinovar had eight or seven of them? AFAIK one is lost from the prelude itself, and one of the Heralds came back to claim his/hers on a later occasion. Szeth had one from Shinovar, and Darkness bears another one, which could or could not have come from the Shinovar blades or one of the two unaccounted for...
