gokucauthon Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 Not sure if this was shared before but I believe the Knights broke their oaths on purpose to be able to arm the future residents or Roshar. They knew the Desolations were getting closer and close in such a way that civilization had a hard time catching up between. They decided to break their oaths knowing they would leave behind lots of Shardblades and Plate. They probably assigned a certain group to collect and hide them until the "time is right." Now the True Desolation is upon us and once that cache is found I think it will be a big help to the allied forces of Roshar. Also look up the opposite of the word Recreance, alot of words like Bravery and Courage, and Honor!
Leuthie Posted December 14, 2021 Posted December 14, 2021 The Desolations had been over for a long time by the time the Recreance occurred. It was actually the lack of Desolations and the fact that Radiants believed they were doing more harm than good when they responded to large issues that resulted in the Recreance. It definitely wasn't a calculated effort to set the future up for success. 1

Plus the fact their deity went crazy and told them they were going to destroy the world with Surgebinding again... The long term goal, I think, was to remove human access to Surgebinding, not to create Shardblades as weapons. (Dead blades were not all that useful until the gem bonding trick was discovered.)
