MistGyorn Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 Are there any theories or information out there about shard plate for KR? Dalinar mentioned in one of his visions that the KR's helms seemed to disappear when he wasn't looking. This seems to indicate that plate, like blades, could be summoned and evaporate when called upon. Are there ideas of why this is? Perhaps once the KR reaches a higher level or when they speak a higher oath? Are the blade and plate the same spren or are they different? (follow-up questions incoming).
Weltall Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 We don't know the origin of Shardplate and Brandon has RAFO'd questions about it, but he's said that we've gotten hints and there may be some characters who already have it, or could have it. Mind you, this involves material from Oathbringer which we aren't allowed to talk about in the regular SA board. One thing that we've been speculating on since Words of Radiance is that Shardplate is formed from 'lesser' spren which are associated with a given Order. For example, windspren for the Windrunners. This one got started when people noticed the way that windspren would surround Kaladin when he was being especially Windrunner-y in that book. 1

So does the quote I mentioned above have anything to do with Shard Plate?
Weltall Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 @Barbarian AL Yeah, it does directly relate to Shardplate. It's also technically an OB spoiler so you probably want to remove it.
