I’ve always assumed that he asked the Nightwatcher to take away the pain and depression of his wife’s death because he was so heartbroken that he couldn’t function, and she took away the pain as his boon, but took away the whole memory of her as his cursed. Kind of like a double edged sword. but i'm open to other theories too.

I'm pretty sure that it can't be because I seem to remember Brandon saying that if the heralds stayed on Roshar for too long that the desolations would return early (correct me if I’m wrong that but I’m pretty sure that’s what he said). So my theory is when they “walked away” from the oathpact they worldhopped to other Cosmere worlds. This could explain how Nalan was able to be in possession of Nightblood to be able to give it to Szeth, and maybe Vasher followed looking for Nightblood.

I think it may come with the complete oaths Kal has now said 3 out of 5 so I would think we'll find out soonish

I hate to kill this theory because I think it’s actually fun…but this was the exact question my buddy asked at the signing last night and WOB- ‘No, Shardplate is assuredly not crem’

Ok so I’ve done a significant amount of lurking here, but I’m pretty active on goodreads. I’ve been reading Brandon’s books for a few years. I actually read them all at least once before I was introduced to the idea of the Cosmere it blew my mind! I had to go back and reread everything and see all the little things that I missed out on the first or second time around. I look forward to getting into some discussions here.

the questions that i asked at the signing last night, These are paraphrased because I don't have a perfect memory. Q: Can allomancy affect shardblades? A: it would be very difficult it to affect a shardblade, maybe a duralumin burn could affect one but It would difficult Q: So are shardblades more organic than metal then? A: The blades are a product of the splinters of honor and are essentially a form of investiture, so I short answer yes but they have metallic qualities. Q: If an Elantrian was bonded a seon and traveled to Roshar would that bond act as a Nahel bond? A: The bond would act very similarly granting the bonded certain abilities but not exactly the same as the spren bond.
