First of all. They DID 100% have a schoice. They Chose to abandon the oathpact. No one forced them to. And assuming there were not outside magical causes (of course), they should have been able to do something. Having PTSD is not an excuse for dishonorable action no matter what the circumstances. And aren't they supposed to bepinnacles of human morality and justice? otherwise why would Tanavast have chosen them. And the choice of their abandoning the oathpact is not nearly so bad as their failure to keep men together.They abandoned mankind allowing the hierocracy and who knows how many other disasters to occur without their leadership.

Reference? We know Ishar had an Honorblade
-
Well what would the Stormfather's "cousin" spren even be?
-
@kari-no-sugata Lol the love triangle could kill pattern!? The DRAAAAAAMAAA!
-
First of all we Know they can get better PTSD is traumatic yes, but no mental illness provides an excuse not to live your life to its fullest potential. It doesn't give them the excuse to not help. Thousands of people have recovered from PTSD and gone to live productive lives on their own.
-
They've had the last 4500 years to recover from their torment maybe it can't be done on their own though maybe they need the words of a Radiant to fill their cracked cognitive or spiritual webs. Although nstead of helping the world they (the ones we know of) spent that timeworking against those who we know can fight the voidbringers, (I.e. Ishar and Naln killing KRs) Perhaps recovery is beyond reach, but why was Lift able to make Naln see the light? After all that time. They failed, not only themselves and Taln, but the world as well, hopefully they come out of it before it's too late with KRs help
-
I wonder how lightweaver would regress in their order then? Would they have to tell bad lies? Lie to themselves about hard truths perhaps? What constitutes a bad lie to a Cryptic anyway?
-
But wouldn't Syl show a disdain for shardplate as well if it were the wind spren? I mean she hangs with them all the time! It'd be like seeing a coat made of puppies and saying "As long as it isn't people I'm good Cruella!"
-
Ah but is it wealth and prestige you wish for, or pure joyous FUN. I think dust bringers would be the most fun just blowing up walls as you skate across the ground would be so epic.
-
Not to ruin the moment but aren't there only 2 full shardbearers and the king with a blade? I do like that scene though. Michael Kramer perfectly narrates it in the audiobook with all the bodies dropping from the ceiling until you get the impression that it is literally raining corpses -
theory An Possible Explanation for Taravangian's Diagram
Radiant_Jaeger replied to DrakeMarshall's topic in Stormlight Archive
So would this compassionate ideas be simple ethics by which the Diagramists should act? Do no harm. The ends do not justify the means etc.? Also I think cultivation already put her chips on the knights Radiant side of things, what with Wyndle and Lift -
So far the best use of "living" shardplate is in the chapter Starfall where we see a windrunner dismiss their helm seamlessly, and it has a glow to it unlike any "dead" shardplate. The major theory on this is that the shardplate is each intellectual Spren's cousin spren gathered and used as armor wind spren for Honorspren, etc. However I think that the Radiant's themselves are the source of the shardplate. It could be another layer of skin as it were, an attempt by their bodies to make themselves less porous and give the leaking Stormlight a place to be held in. The reason I think it's a new magical skin is because it regrows when fed Stormlight. Wouldn't the dead wind spren inhabiting said plate be unable to regrow once the bond is broken? It is Another effect of the symbiotic bond between the spren and their Knights. Thus giving the knights another means of protection while ensuring that their knights always have a source of Stormlight. It's something I haven't found a specific thread on yet.

@maxal And you lost me with argumentation
-
Iyeah because Syl never warns Kaladin not to help Moash because it'll kill her. I think the spren CANT tell Them about it.
-
Lol classic @maxal Factorial is my word of the day. But I agree. Not liking Shalladan doesn't necessarily have to do with the "hero and lady" trope. I just don't think they fit. Shallan and Adolin fit well, especially now that they have even darker acts in common. I bet when Shallan tells Adolin about her father he will tell her about Sadeas and they'll be all the stronger for it.
-
I really want to see him in shardplate again though lol! Because of how he's so natural in it! This is a cool idea about the Honorblades and their "aliveness"
-
I don't think so. The whole mass murderer thing might be too much of a dampener.
-
lol I have a filthy mind so I immediately assume you meant ménage au trois My bad, but LGBT confusion (with one' down identity) might not be the best suited entanglement during a medieval magic apocalypse with the literal incarnation of Hatred orchestrating the world's downfall. actually now that I write it, What better place is there! Lol
-
Hey now. Hey now, let's not turn this legitimate suggestion into some kind of Storming debauchery...
-
Nah the teacher student thing is too creepy/unethical Jasnah and that Weeper assassin though? I'd ship that
-
I like this. Maybe the reason for them all going against their principles is an outside influence at work.
-
@kari-no-sugata She could totally produce a hologram of the Everstorm and incoming parshmen forces Death Star style
-
See I don't think that them being broken was as bad as a full blown mental illness because if they can make themselves see clearly and realize that the world did in fact need their help for the last 4500 years then they could have done so much more to help prepare. But rather then DO that they hid their heads in the sand, and actively worked against the forces that would help the world such as new Surgebinders and who knows what else. Ishar and Naln are culpable for sure, probably Shallash as well since I bet she's destroyed some pretty useful information. If they had gone off on their own and just wallowed and despaired. I guess my issue is having a mental is NOT an excuse to do wrong.
-
Agreed but IF she were to have one I think it would be more interesting if it was Teft or Rock for a gathering of opposites lol "Airsick lowlander" "Behemoth Horneater" lol the insult battle could be epic
-
Well I thought Taln's insanity was justified because of the 4500 years. The rest have had time to fix themselves which we know So it IS the heralds fault if something like that could make them see again
