Makes sense. Thanks guys!

I just finished WoR and there's a couple things I'm wondering about. Throughout the book, I was under the impression that Szeth was named Truthless because he had surgebinding abilities that were only supposed to happen before a Desolation, and since the Shin leaders refused to believe that was happening, they named him Truthless, essentially saying that his existence was a lie. Then we find out that his abilities came from his Honorblade; they weren't innate. So why was he named Truthless? And why would the Shin leaders give an Honorblade to a Truthless and then exile him, essentially losing one of their most valuable possessions? Also, how long after the Heralds broke their oathpact did Day of Recreance take place? If the Heralds were leading the KR, wouldn't they have ceased to exist at the same time? Or the KR just continued on their own? Were the Heralds regular men who gained their powers and honorblades from their oaths after reading Nohadon's work?
