=== True Desolation ===
Following the arrival of the [[Everstorm]] and the start of the [[True Desolation]], [[Voidspren]]{{book ref|sa3|i|3}} and the [[Fused]]{{book ref|sa3|43}} made an active effort to gather up available dead Shardblades, as well as Plate. At least one other Radiant, [[Malata]] of the [[Dustbringers]] had progressed sufficiently far to manifest a Shardblade as well.

Duels are moderated by a highjudge, who has absolute authority over what occurs during a duel within the arena.{{book ref|sa2|56}} Both duelists agree to terms in front of the highjudge before a duel. Duels are usually fought until a specific number of sections of Plate are Shattered. The typical number of Plates duelists fight for is one, but higher stakes duels can go for more two or three, but this can prove dangerous.
Duels can be fought for a variety of reasons. One is for sport, fighting to duels to practice and display skill.{{book ref|sa1|58}} Someone dueling can choose to compete to become the dueling champion of the kingdom. This is determined by statistical dueling rankings,{{book ref|sa1|58}} which prevent just any Shardbearer from challenging one ranked far higher.{{book ref|sa2|37}} Typically, a dueling champion will only agree to fight someone close to him in the rankings. Working ones way to the top of the rankings can typically take a year or two. Another reasons someone can challenge another to a duel is in recompense for an insult or some sort of wrongdoing.{{book ref|sa2|55}} This usually only applies to people of a similar rank, a subordinate is typically not permitted to challenge his superior to a duel. Duels can also be fought wagering Plate, Blades or both.{{book ref|sa2|14}} These duels are uncommon and usually something of a spectacle. This is one of the few ways that Shards change hands outside of actual combat. Duels to the death are very rare, although accidental death or serious injury are not unheard of in duels. One of the few ways that a duel to the death is permitted is by the [[Right of Challenge]], which is sometimes granted by a [[King's Boon|boon]] from the king.{{book ref|sa2|55}} The [[Alethi Codes of War]] forbid dueling in times of war, to avoid injuring officers, although few modern Alethi keep to the codes.{{book ref|sa1|12}}
*There is no theoretical upper limit to the number of dead Shardblades a person can bond, and a person may have multiple living Shardblades, but it would be difficult to obey the oaths of multiple orders at the same time.{{wob ref|6647}}
*Dalinar Kholin is unable to summon his Shardblade while he is experiencing one of his [[Dalinar's visions|visions]].{{book ref|sa1|19}}
*Adolin Kholin has a habit of repeatedly summoning and then dismissing his Blade when he is nervous,{{book ref|sa2|50}}
*In the current draft of the [[Sixth of the Dusk sequel|sequel]] to [[Sixth of the Dusk]], an individual in Shardplate summons what appears to be a "Shardgun".{{wob ref|14408}} This seems to be a form of a living Shardblade, as it takes less than ten seconds to summon and its wielder has access to [[Surgebinding]]. We never see it fired; however, it appears to require the use of some sort of power pack, the mechanism of which is unknown. It should be noted that this scene is not from a finished story, and is subject to change.
