Ripheus23 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 Is this an idea that's been discussed before?
Calderis he/him Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 They didn't have it. Jezrien's clothing was ruined in the prelude from the fighting, which it shouldn't have been, other than sweat matting, if he had been encased in armor. Only relevant wob I can think of, Brandon doesn't do anything to counter the idea that armor is something the Heralds didn't have. Quote WindRunner88 [PENDING REVIEW] (paraphrased) So far during the Stormlight Archive we've seen that the spren bond appears to have some distinct advantages (i.e. armor, more efficient Stormlight consumption, access to a variety of weapons) over what Tanavast via the Oathpact provided the Heralds. With the exception of Nale, and the fact that the Heralds had no need for Stormlight, can you please tell me one way in which a Herald had a distinct advantage over a level 5 Radiant of their corresponding order? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] (paraphrased) Rebirth. (After seeing what must have been a crestfallen look on my face he added) The Heralds had access to raw levels of power that no Radiant could obtain. source
Yata he/him Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) As Calderis said there is no instance of Heralds having or refering to have Plate of any kind (other than Nale, but he is something more). Much more Kalak stated to be murdered many times from Thunderclast's claws and this is an unlikely scenario if you are an unlimited fueled Surgebinder with a Plate (that use Investiture to repair itself) Edited October 7, 2018 by Yata
Ripheus23 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 OK, so Honorium-foil hat theory: the Dawnshards were Honorplate, but this wasn't something the Heralds wore. It was something Honor himself wore. Honorium-Odium (Honodium/Odorium!) alloyfoil hat theory: Shardplate is made out of pieces of Honorplate.
