Maybe a bit of a reach but: 1) Maybe its the wrong type of blade, maybe theyre sort of attuned some to windrunners, some to dustbringers etc? OR 2) Maybe the way they make the blades/plate for a KR somehow hurts or traps the spren theyre bound to? OR 3) Maybe its just that they had never spilled human blood before and now that they have theyre kinda tainted?

My theories as follows: (I'm new, I did some searching but got nothing on this so here goes) 1) The Heralds are bearers of the shards of Honor itself. 2) The Honorblades (the Herald's weapons), are in fact the main shards of Honor itself. 3) Shardblades & Shardplate are made from smaller splinters of Honor. 4) Tanavast shattered the Shard himself to give man means to defend themselves. 5) The Oathpact was an agreement by all the Heralds to act together as a Champion of Tanavast (And as bearers of the shards of Honor), thus allowing them to bind Odium to the rules. 6) This was the reason for the Desolations, they were mandated contests for Roshar itself as per the rules. 7) When the Heralds quit, the Desolations stopped as Odium was no longer obliged to compete and so he was free to influence the world unimpeded. 8) The Knights Radiant gave up their armor when the first Man vs Man war broke out, showing that Odium was influencing man unimpeded, possibly realising that the Heralds hadn't left because they'd won, and that they'd just quit. 9) Honor (Tanavast) died because the Heralds and broken their oath, as had the Knights Radiant and they were the last bearers of the shards that were bound by the Oaths (the creeds that gave the KR and also the Heralds their power). Feel free to tell me how I don't know what im talking about

Is it possible that: 1) Hoid was the original holder of Adonalsium itself 2) The Heralds are holders of the splinters of Honor and that the oathpact was an agreement that treated them as 1 entity alloing them to bind odium to the rules? Also is it possible that the Honor blades ARE their shards of honor and the other shardblades/plates are made from smaller splinters of Honor?? Any supporting/contradicting evidence?
