Isn't he the leader of the stormwardens, or are my memory making a fool of me?

I will agree with you that Shardblades arn't sold all that often, but that doesn't mean it would be impossible to sell one. And if Shallan told the king that she wanted to sell the blade to him, since her dead father had left the family in deep debt and her brothers where cribbles i dont think the king would ask to many questions about, he would propably be very happy to have an extra blade. And IMO the risk that someone would investigate would be much smaller then the risk of getting caught stealing a Soulcaster.

Hi, new on the forum, so i hope you will forgive if this topic have already been discussed. Tried to find a topic about it but was unsuccesfull. I was wondering why Shallan was travelling so far to steal a soulcaster to solve her familys depts. I think we can all agree that she have a shardblade. Why not sell it instead. It would be much safer, she doesn't act like she really want to keep it, and i'm sure it would fetch a price that could pay all debts, with plenty of spheres to spare. Any suggestions? Nambjorn ps. Im from Denmark, so my english is not that good. Hope you will ignore any spelling and/or grammar errors.
