OriginsSpren

Now i don't have a lot to go off here so please bear with me. If i missed anything please let me know. Exhibit A. We get no evidence that the Heralds(created by Honor) have shardplate. Just honorblade Exhibit B. Shardblades go to somewhere ephemeral when they are not in use(spiritual or cognitive realm) Exhibit C. We hear that that shardplate will fix itself(regrow) in time and also that with only one piece of shardplate and enough time it is possible for someone to grow a now suit of plate. Exhibit D. Shens Lashings(assumed to be given from an honor blade) do not work on plate(of cultivation) Haven't really thought through the mechanics of how this would work in practice(certain spren and surgebinders having access to plate vs swords depending on how close they were to honor/cultivation) Just an idea ive been thinking about for a while. Let me know what you think.

We don't know anywhere near enough about the Ghostbloods(or really Jasnah) to be able to guess why the Ghostblood's might want to kill her. They may believe that killing her is the best way to get a greater fabrial, They may know she is researching the void bringers, they may believe that they need to kill and surgebinders to prevent desolations. Any one of those three i feel is equally plausible and im sure there are many more options i haven't considered

Hi Everyone, First time posting here so please let me know if i missed this discussion somewhere although i looked around and didn't see anything. That into out of the way..i think its extremely likely that the ship Jasnah and Shallan are on was taken over(or attacked) by the Ghostbloods. My reasoning for this follows: 1. We know that the captain of the ship had extensive business dealings with Shallan's father(Ghostblood) 2. We know the ship was unexpectedly delayed in Kharbranth, and able to take them with no explanation of the delay 3. Immediately before the attack the captain has them pick up a "six-foot-tall hulk of a man" for the last leg of the journey Let me know your thoughts.
