But he also knew that it couldn't hurt him.

He opened it carefully.

A crazy person would likely be incapable of formulating and executing a plan to actually steal an Honorblade. The most likely scenario in which an Honorblade is stolen is one orchestrated by Odium's forces, the Ghostbloods, or some other competent gorup, similar to what happened when the Honorblade was stolen from bridge 4. A Skyrbreaker could decide that the ideals of anarchy are the correct, and seek to enforce their codes. Or they could decide that one form of government (communism, perhaps) is the best, and attempt to make all nations follow it. Or they could swear to follow someone like Taravangian, and then we have pretty much the same situation as Szeth except with a full Radiant. A Radiant can be completely honest while also being a serial killer. Truths don't have to be positive. And while the oaths do help, they still don't stop someone who truly believes they are in the right from using their powers in terrible ways. I don't think that a Bondsmith stealing an Honorblade is something that needs to be worried about. And again, while Szeth was extremely effective, he also had the advantage of years of training in all ten surges, and no one knew about Radiants. Nowadays, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a monarch without a Radiant or two guarding them, and even common soldiers have training in dealing with Surgebinders. Yes, they're dangerous, but such extreme methods don't need to be taken unless Honorblades turn out to be far more powerful than they currently appear. bodyguards for whoever's using it, being kept in a secure location under the care of those who know how to use them otherwise.

Who was a servant of Eof.

Soon, he was unstoppable. …or so he thought.

A combustion engine would run out of ettmetal eventually.

They probably fly using a combustion engine powered by ettmetal.

Does the vast majority really exist? I’m sure that people who match stereotypes do exist, but it seems to me that they’re very much the extreme minority.

With the mention of Southern unification because of the discovery of ‘demons’ to the north, I wonder what’d happen if they find out about Rosharans and Singers.

Nameless caught up to Haly, slightly out of breath. “This… doesn’t look like the tower of Ghengi. Some kind of trick perhaps?”

How likely is someone with an Honorblade to do so? If they wanted profit, it’d be far easier to sell the Honorblade to the Ghostbloods, Odium’s forces, or some other organization. Maybe a crazy person could get their hands on a Blade and start killing people, but a Radiant could do the same thing. A Skybreaker could swear to follow the ideals of anarchy and begin working to destroy the government. A Lightweaver could do basically anything as long as they were truthful to their spren. Yes, Windrunners probably couldn’t do something like that, but there’s a reason that Nohadon wishes all spren are as discerning as them. But is that risk worth destroying them over? That’s no easy task, and the Honorblades are an incredibly powerful tool in the right hands, capable of granting Radiant powers even under suppression fabrials. Yes, they need to be guarded carefully, but Rosharans have plenty of experience using Shards that can be easily stolen if the bearer dies.

Nameless stumbled to his feet, chasing after Haly. "Come back! You don't know what you're doing! That place is dangerous."

Nameless paused, looking back towards Haly, and the triangle. "Oh storms no. I'm not going in there."

Nameless growled, summoning a ball of fire to launch at TAAron.

Nameless hesitated at Haly's words, but he'd had enough of TAAron's attacks. As the Mistborn staggered towards him, Nameless launched a flow of spirit towards him, meant to knock TAAron unconscious.

anger flashed in Nameless' eyes, and he grabbed Haly just before she entered the belowplace, punching TAAron in the face as they transitioned.

Nameless glanced at Haly, then quickly swiveled back to TAAron as the mind-controlled patient swung at him. "Fine. If he doesn't want to fight, we won't fight." Summoning the one power, Nameless channeled fire into TAAron's weapon until its blade melted.

Nice! you'll be able to join the ranks of the adult club, which is way better than the non-adult club. Please take me back I'm barely an adult college is way too stressful.

"BEGONE BE THE CURSE OF YODA-SPEAK! MY POWER WILLS IT SO!"

And then consumed that mighty beast.

And he was very hungry.

Rogue Radiants could commit similar crimes, and there will be rogue Radiants eventually. If their place on Roshar is as fragile as you imply, Honorblades aren't the issue.

This was because of an ancient evil:
