  1. Haha! The way you condensed it all reminded me of Kaladin's little summary after they discovered the heralds' fates. I found that hilarious! But yes, this helps put it in perspective. The period leading to the Recreance seemed to have been tumultuous for the Orders, with emotions and tensions flared. I only wish we had been shown a memory or a flashback delving into the thoughts and feeling back then, to help imagine it. I had my hopes up when Pattern mentions "memories in Shadesmar", but tragically, we were left hanging on that. On that note, does somebody know where that has been discussed? Shoot, if that's true, the two events couldn't be directly related. There are still a lot of unanswered questions in the timeline, aren't there? Well, thanks for replying! Although I am curious how the shattering happened. If it were through Surgebinding, then it was applied on a truly devastating scale. Perhaps there was some fabrial or device that amplified the surges.
  2. Greetings everyone! I'm new here, and glad to be a member. I was wondering if it was known (mentioned in the books or in WoB) if the Recreance happened after or before the shattering of the plains. I'm fairly certain it's hinted multiple times that the plains seemed "intentionally shattered", though I'm unsure if this is verified for good. As to why this felt relevent to the recreance, it's purely my speculation. I just felt it contrived for whole orders of radiants to abandon their oaths as one due to a vague feeling that they may end the world. But in the face of concrete proof in the form of a demonstration, perhaps it's plausible. Molding and fracturing rock seems to be the within the portfolio of the tension and cohesion surges. If the shattering of the plains was a result of surgebinding, it could explain the sudden impetus they had to forswear as one. Again I could be wrong on multiple counts. Also I doubt I'm the first to this conclusion. So, if there's any discussion going on elsewhere that answers me, or if anyone has the answers here, I'd be greatly obliged! Thanks! I don't post often and visit kinda rarely, but really I look forward to being a part of the community!
