Mailliw73 he/him Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 The Stormfather seems pretty irritated and unwilling to help Dalinar with being a Bondsmith. He said that he won't become a sword for him. Was the Stormfather just as annoyed back in the days of the KR? If so, the Bondsmiths never had Shards of their own. Even if the Stormfather was willing to help, how would he be the Shards for all three Bondsmiths?

Even if the Stormfather was willing to help, how would he be the Shards for all three Bondsmiths? The Stormfather was different before the Recreance. Killing hundreds of his children probably made him a bit bitter. The Bondsmiths probably couldn't all have the Stormfather as a sword, but I imagine one of them could have him at a time. Plate should also have proven no problem, as it doesn't seem to actually require the spren permanently past whatever is required in its making. Edited July 25, 2014 by Moogle
el_warko he/him Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Dunno, maybe because of the size of the Stormfather (SF), he could be multiple swords to multiple people. "Here Dalinar, you've proven yourself to me that you are not a complete douch-bag and I've grown to like and respect you. Here, have an arm." Alternatively, due to his power and position of influence (in the Sprenmere), he may have noted that getting all sword-like (too committed) is a very good way to end up dead - it stands to reason that individual Rosharians reneged on their oaths prior to the Recreance - and he held back for that reason. Wild Speculation for the end of the first Stormlight arc: SF commits to Dalinar, who becomes the champion of anti-Odium (aO) camp who dies in single combat with Odium*, thus depriving team aO of two powerful individuals. * may also die in the fight because a walk-in (Szeth? (Nalan knows best)) slips Nightblood into Dalinar's back in said throw-down.
Left he/him Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Or maybe stormfather has been bonded before, which is why we've never seen his whole body......................................................... 1
kadolin Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 There was an honorblade for their order as well. Take turns!
Firiel she/her Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 The Stormfather is essentially a representation of Honor. Considering the Knights Radiant broke their oaths, it makes sense that his connection with Honor would make him very reluctant to bond again.
