taveren Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 i was thinking what if the heralds powers worked differently then the knights radiant in that they only had access to one type of surge and each herald had a different one instead of the duel powers the knights had. also there is that theory that sezeth has a honorblade and the three lashings he uses seems to all be gravity based as least to me the sticking things together always seems more gravity then pressure. on a side note using a full lashing on two objects that have no friction could you slide them around as long as they remained touching while on the subject of heralds is there a list of known or suspected heralds from the first book around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Portz Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 on a side note using a full lashing on two objects that have no friction could you slide them around as long as they remained touching That sounds wrong; perhaps I misunderstand you. Could you please elaborate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taveren Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 the lower the friction that objects have the more slippery they are so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Portz Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 the lower the friction that objects have the more slippery they are so to speak But I don't see the connection with the full lashing. Please bear in mind, this might just be my lacking grasp of the english language! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taveren Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) full lashings stick things together through ether pressure or gravity but if there wasn't any friction on those objects like say trying to stick a hockey puck to some smooth ice would it just slide around but not be able to get taken off the ice Edited February 27, 2014 by taveren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Hoodie Mistborn Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 That sounds more like magnetism to me... you can move a magnet around on a metal plate, but it may be hard to pull off. I would think that with enough Lashing and gravity that even a hockey puck wouldn't be able to move on the ice, even if you completely removed surface tension. As to Herald powers and lists, I don't know that there is a single list itself, but if you look at the coppermind at each Herald's page, I believe there is information on theorized spotting in tWoK. I would assume that Herald powers work like the orders of KR they are associated with (i.e. 2 surges) but on a more powerful scale. Otherwise each KR order would be associated/blend of 2 Heralds for their associations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardlet Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 A full lashing though does not apply to the entire wall or a floor or object. Just the portion to which the lashing is applied. So you should not be able to slide it beyond where the lashing is applied regardless of the relative friction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccstat Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 WoB is that Szeth has the same power set as the Windrunners, so if (as most assume) herald powers and Szeth's powers both come from Honorblades, then we can be sure that herald powers match up with the radiant orders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeiryWriter Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 also there is that theory that sezeth has a honorblade and the three lashings he uses seems to all be gravity based as least to me the sticking things together always seems more gravity then pressure. It has been WoB-confirmed that the Full Lashing uses the Pressure surge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 (edited) I always thought the Heralds powers were magnified versions of the Radiants *Edit:damnation Typo* Edited March 1, 2014 by WEZ313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oathbringer Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Yes the heralds probably have stronger powers, and at the coppermind wilie there is apace dedicated to known names of the heralds. O ly one is unknown so far I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
