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... |
Yeah, I'm probably just confused on the honorblade stuff. There is so little to go on so far...
nalen did say at the end of this last book that shinovar had 7... Which Im guessing is not counting the one sveth just had. So thats 8 accounted for, one lost is probably the one nalen has, and talanel should have one as well as the last herald in the oathpact. So that should be all of them.
However, i do question whether this nalen is the actual herald. If he abandoned the oathpact like all the heralds did... He shouldnt have his honorblade right? If he has his honorblade and is the hearald... Shouldnt he have been enduring untold torture with talanel?
