ash's_eyes Posted February 18, 2022 Report Share Posted February 18, 2022 we know that ashyn was destroyed because surgebinding went unchecked. now, the ashyn form of surgebinding may have been different, we don't know for sure. but honroblades allow for surgebinding without any type of oaths. this could be insignificant or completely wrong, but is it possible that honorblades were as common as shardblades on ashyn and because there were no oaths to keep the people using them in check, this is what destroyed the planet? again, not much of a theory and i could be totally off, but any thoughts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure it did. I wonder if Honor had to make some kind of item/totem for the Heralds for the Oathpact or if giving Surgebinding to them in this special form was something he wanted to do, whether for the war or another reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cometaryorbit Posted February 19, 2022 Report Share Posted February 19, 2022 The purpose of the Honorblades is a bit mysterious. The Stormfather calls a Honorblade 'the mark of an oath', but the Oathpact was about binding the Fused Cognitive Shadows on Braize - apparently the Heralds were 'dead'/Cognitive Shadows at that point, so could they even use the Honorblades when 'dead'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it was after their arrival AND after the war breaking out with the Singers, because they were made in response to the Fused. Also in WOB he isnt sure that Shallash was born on Ashyn or after the Migration, and we know she had to exist when the Honorblades and Oathpact were created. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
