... or rather the living kind in this case. If Skydancer armour plates are made up of Windspren, I wonder what spren are making up Jasnah’s armour. Note, the armour she wears in this battle scene isn’t the usual shardplate. She has sworn the 4th ideal already, and from the way her armour acts (she has to intentionally reduce the glow, and her helmet vanishes at will) it’s clear to me that she is wearing real living spren armour.
It seems that shardplate is made up of the less intelligent spren that are related to the spren that grants the heralds their powers. Honourspren with Windspren makes sense. Inkspren, though....? I wonder what other spren they’re related to, or if things work differently with other orders.
There's a scene in Oathbringer where Adolin rounds a corner in Thaylena and sees logic spren fading around Jasnah. I was pleasantly surprised at the implications after reading Rythm of War.
Honourblades:
Reveal hidden contents
These seem to work a bit differently to how they have before. I seem to remember that Szeth had to carry his sword in the early novels. The characters with honourblades in this novel can dismiss and summon them like regular shardblades. Maybe something to do with bonding, or am I missing something? I do forget things. Odium! Keep out of my noggin!
Your comment about honorblades needing to be held is incorrect. If you go have to Way of Kings, Szeth summons his blade multiple times during the prologue.
Apologies, maybe I probably should have put some of this stuff in threads on the forum.
