Taln's eyes


Hilfandor

Recommended Posts

Finished my reread of tWoK today, and I had forgotten that Taln is described as having dark brown eyes when he arrives at Alethkar.

Sometime between his travel between Alethkar and his arrival at the Shattered Plains, someone switches his honorblade with a different shardblade. After the switch, his eyes are....dark brown.

When a dark eyes bonds a shardblade, their eyes slowly lighten, as we see with Moash.  If Taln's sword was switched with a regular shardblade, why didn't his eyes change?

I think this very much has to do with the Heralds' nature as Cognitive Shadows, and the direct Connection they had to Honor through the Oathpact. Maybe all this means the section of the spiritweb that causes lighteyed-ness can't be changed in Heralds?
