There are ten Honorblades total, one for each Herald. Every Honorblade is unique, covered in various glyphs and patterns.Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido The respective hilts of each of the Heralds's Honorblades appear to be the same as the glyph that represents the order of Knights Radiant that that same Herald leads. Honorblades are technically a type of ShardbladeError en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenidoError en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido but are likely more powerful. Honorblades can also be summoned and dismissed like a Shardblade.Error en la cita: Etiqueta <ref> no válida; las referencias sin nombre deben tener contenido However, if the Herald holding the blade dies, the weapon itself vanishes too.
