don_karma_II he/him Posted April 21, 2013 Report Share Posted April 21, 2013 This theory is a pure speculation of mine. I believe the oathpact is between Honor and Cultivation. I know this has been put forward by many others too. Let me explain why this is so. Theory: Oath pact is between Cultivation and Honor to fight against Odium each time during the desolations. Desolations are the coming of Odium to splinter the shards in Roshar and destroy it in the process. SO Cultivation and Honor make a pact that the person speaking the oaths of Honor will recieve powers from the Highstorms which are of cultivation. The bonding is faciliated by sprens which are of Honor initially. Heralds are those who come to announce the arrival of desolations and to lead men for the upcoming battle during desolations. I think Honor over extended itself and invested too much in the heralds and the honor blades. So when the Heralds broke the oath pact, Honor was significantly weakened which made it easier for odium to splinter honour. Only hiccup is how the sprens and stormlight were changed after honor was splintered. Since oaths are being spoken once again.. Can the shard honor be remade? What happened to the splinters of honour? Kindly discuss,.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
