Thanks, everyone! Some good points there, and I think we'll take a whack at e-mailing Brandon, too, just in case. In the meantime, we've got a ways to go on our Shardblades...so we'll keep on researching while tackling these guys.

My sister and I are finally tackling our Knights Radiant cosplays for DragonCon...and, needless to say, we kind of have our work cut out for us. In a good way, I guess. We've been reading over our bookmarks and scouring the forum and the wiki, and can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Which probably means it's yet to come, but if you all have any insight from Q & A's with Brandon, that'd be lovely! She's settled on being a Windrunner - so, traditional unpainted armor with glowing blue glyphs, light blue eyes, and a rich blue cape. Seems pretty straightforward. I was going to go with Edgedancer, but haven't found enough references to convince me to go with any one color scheme. At first I thought the joints of the armor would glow amber, referencing the flashback where Dalinar encounters the two knights, one of which uses Regrowth. I figured, that's got to be either an Edgedancer or a Truthwatcher, right? Except she uses a topaz entwined with a heliodor to heal him...does that indicate that she was using a fabrial, not a Surge? And isn't amber associated with the Stonewards? Then, at the flashback from the Purelake, Dalinar sees a female Shardbearer glowing red at the joints, though a white glow comes from her skin later. White glow = diamond = the Edgedancers' stone? Or does the red glowing at the joints indicate a Dustbringer? "...stepping through the water with uncanny ease, as if it had no purchase on her". If that's Abrasion, it could be either Order, correct? BASICALLY...with Brandon having confirmed that a Radiant's eye color does correspond to his/her Order...can we assume that the color the plate and its glyphs glow will be the same color as their eyes and other generally glowy features? Windrunners seem to be pretty indisputably blue/sapphire. Sorry for the lengthy post; I know we can only do so much until we get another book, but if at all possible, I'd love to be as accurate as we have the information for. Thanks in advance for anything you've got for me!

Gah, I don't know if I can choose. Mayyybbeee WoR? But I'm still riding the high of just having finished Firefight and would be tempted to say that it's up there. I'm also really fond of Warbreaker. Wait, so...to cookie, or not to cookie? I can't think of a single time I've turned down a cookie and not regretted it. Interestingly enough, I just saw that article for the first time a few days ago in my scouring the web for Blade references. So...big. My quest to be a 5'4 Shardbearer is going to be a fun one. Thank you all for the kind welcome!

Hi! I'm following the forum instructions to a T and letting everyone know...I'm here! I exist! I've followed Brandon's works since I heard he was finishing WoT. Mistborn instantly had me hooked, and now...I can't get out of the Cosmere. Well. Except to read Firefight and the like. Still hyperventilating a little from that one. Since I've lurked around the 17th Shard for a while, reading everyone's wonderful theories, I thought I'd make my lurking more...official? Also, my sister and I are making Shardbearer cosplays for this year's Dragoncon in Atlanta, so I also wanted to ask a few questions of fellow Plate fans. Yay!
