like "hoser" i think this is of particular interest, because there are at least 2 different interpretations depending on the person(people) saying this. 1. if it is a human (ancestor of veden,alethi etc.)it could mean that they chased the voidbringers of roshar(maybe land of the voidbringers originaly?) and humans may be actually the antagonists/aggressors. 2. then i had the idea that this is actually from the perspective of a voidbringer/parshendi (if they turn out to be one and the same)which would make this quite unique. What do you think? Feel free to correct me if this is utter nonsense PS: Please excuse any grammatical errors

1. I think Syl's dislike for the blade comes from her general animosity of killing in general. Shardblades are tools of destruction/death (as far as we know)and therefore not really sth good. 2. Maybe the Knights Radiant gave up their arms because they found out that the Heralds abandoned/lied to them (about the victory over the Voidbringers) or some other similiar disappointing truth. 3. Are you sure Szeth can't use Shardplate? I had the impression that 1: he doesn'thave his own armor. and more importantly 2: that he wouldn't disgrace himself further by owning one. As i understood if anyone of the Shin/Shen (?) picks up a weapon he/she becomes a slavelike warrior and what is worse than picking up a normal blade?...a shardblade of course (by the way i think that's how someone becomes "Truthless"). 4. My guess is that shardplates can be summoned like the blades once You put them on or at least dismiss/summon the helm (as noticed by Dalinar in one of his visions). 5. What i would really like to know is what the shardplates-blades were/are shards of. There must be a reason for that name. PS: Please excuse my bad english, it is not my native language.
