So I just wanted to be clear on the difference between Honorblades and Shardblades. From my understanding, I know that Shardblades are dead spren which temporarily come alive after the weilder summons it from ten heartbeats.
And then, I understand that Kaladin and Shallan's Shardblades are formed from their own spren (being Syl and Pattern) and are very much alive.
So those are Shardblades. And then it is discovered that Szeth stole a Honorblade which is the reasoning behind his powers. So what are Honorblades exactly? They surely aren't those weapons that the Knights Radiant discarded in that vision Dalinar had right? Because those are Shardblades which are formed from their dead spren.
Whom did the Honorblades belong to? And there are meant to be ten of them, right?
Thanks
