The '''Honorblades''' are the magical swords carried by the [[Herald]]s to fight the [[Voidbringers]] during the [[Desolation]]s. They were pieces of Honor's soul that gave their wielders access to his essence.{{wob ref|1572}}

There are ten Honorblades total, one for each Herald. Every Honorblade is unique, covered in various glyphs and patterns.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}} They are technically a type of [[Shardblade]]; they were prototypes of the [[Knight Radiant]] Shardblades, and share many qualities with them.{{wob ref|8499}} Among others, they can be bonded, summoned and dismissed much like a [[Shardblade]] can.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Like living Shardblades, they can be used to operate [[Oathgate]]s.{{book ref|sa3|16}} It's unclear if they require ten heartbeats to be summoned, like dead Blades, or if they can appear instantly; this appears to be tied to their wielders' perception.{{wob ref|12612}}
The [[Shin]] have somehow gained possession of the Honorblades. One is given to [[Szeth]] when he becomes [[Truthless]], but Truthless do not usually have Honorblades.{{wob ref|5089}} However, the Shin do allow people who are not Truthless to use them, for currently unknown situations and reasons.{{wob ref|5090}}
 
   
  +
Unlike Shardblades, however, Honorblades are not [[spren]], and are not, nor have ever been, sapient. Rather, they are made of [[Honor]]'s own [[Investiture]], which he deliberately splintered off himself and crystallized into metallic form.{{book ref|sa3|16}}{{wob ref|13996}}
The Heralds all left them behind when they broke the [[Oathpact]], which suggests that they may have at least been part of what bound them to the Oathpact in the first place. Nine of the Honorblades were left stabbed into the rock at the location of the final battle of [[Aharietiam]] occured; the tenth, [[Taln]]'s stayed with him.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}
 
   
  +
One does not need to be a Herald in order to use an Honorblade.{{wob ref|4459}} Likewise, a Herald dying does not cause the Honorblade to be destroyed or vanish.{{book ref|sa3|122}} However, the Honorblades do go with the Heralds when they travel to [[Braize]], and they appear to have a crucial role in the [[Oathpact]], as nine of the Heralds leave them behind in the [[Aharietiam]].{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}
== Surgebinding ==
 
Honorblades inherently grant the ability to [[Surgebind]].{{wob ref|4685}}{{book ref|sa2|i|1}} This ability is similar to that of [[metalmind|unsealed metalmind]]s, though they rely on different magic systems.{{wob ref|9408}} Presumably, each Herald's Honorblade grants access to the same two [[Surge]]s as the order of Knights Radiant associated with that Herald. Using an Honorblade, Szeth-son-son-Vallano is able to use the powers of a Windrunner, even though he does not have a [[spren]] [[Nahel bond|bonded]] to him in the same way [[Kaladin]] does. In addition Szeth mentions that his connection to the Honorblade will not let him heal from a Shardblade wound unlike Kaladin's Surgebinding.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} However, Szeth does heal from a Shardblade wound in his final fight with Kaladin at the [[Battle of Narak]].
 
   
 
=== Surgebinding ===
[[Syl]] is aware that the Honorblades grant access to Surges. Honorblades create a shallower bond with their wielders than Nahel bonds, making them less efficient, and more dangerous, to use as they require dangerous amounts of Stormlight.{{wob ref|4788}} Heralds also require large amounts of Stormlight when using their Honorblades.{{wob ref|3623}}

Honorblade Surgebinding is in many ways inferior to Radiant Surgebinding; among others, the Surgebinding healing bestowed by Honroblades is less efficient than Radiant healing.{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Additionally, [[Surge]]s require more [[Stormlight]] as fuel to power them, up to dangerous levels.{{book ref|sa3|98}}{{wob ref|4788}} While the latter still applies to the Heralds, they were once powered directly by [[Honor]], which made the issue of Stormlight consumption irrelevant.{{wob ref|1572}}

It's unknown at what point the Heralds received their Honorblades, although it likely happened during the creation of the [[Oathpact]]. They used them throughout the [[Desolation]]s until the [[Aharietiam]], whereupon nine of them left them at the site of the final battle before walking away from the Oathpact. [[Talenel]]'s Honorblade disappeared along with him.{{book ref|sa1|part=prelude}}

Honor gave these to men, and those men gained powers from them. Spren figured out what He'd done, and we imitated it.

Syl[1]

The Honorblades are the magical swords carried by the Heralds to fight the Voidbringers during the Desolations. They were pieces of Honor's soul that gave their wielders access to his essence.[2]

Mechanics

Szeth using Jezrien's Honorblade

With this sword, someone can do what you can, but without the . . . checks a spren requires.

Syl [1]

There are ten Honorblades total, one for each Herald. Every Honorblade is unique, covered in various glyphs and patterns.[3] They are technically a type of Shardblade; they were prototypes of the Knight Radiant Shardblades, and share many qualities with them.[4] Among others, they can be bonded, summoned and dismissed much like a Shardblade can.[5] Like living Shardblades, they can be used to operate Oathgates.[6] It's unclear if they require ten heartbeats to be summoned, like dead Blades, or if they can appear instantly; this appears to be tied to their wielders' perception.[7]

Unlike Shardblades, however, Honorblades are not spren, and are not, nor have ever been, sapient. Rather, they are made of Honor's own Investiture, which he deliberately splintered off himself and crystallized into metallic form.[6][8]

One does not need to be a Herald in order to use an Honorblade.[9] Likewise, a Herald dying does not cause the Honorblade to be destroyed or vanish.[10] However, the Honorblades do go with the Heralds when they travel to Braize, and they appear to have a crucial role in the Oathpact, as nine of the Heralds leave them behind in the Aharietiam.[3]

Surgebinding

Holding a Honorblade inherently grants the ability to Surgebind without a Nahel bond.[11][12] This ability is similar to that of unsealed metalminds, though they rely on different magic systems.[13]

Honorblade Surgebinding is in many ways inferior to Radiant Surgebinding; among others, the Surgebinding healing bestowed by Honroblades is less efficient than Radiant healing.[5] Additionally, Surges require more Stormlight as fuel to power them, up to dangerous levels.[14][15] While the latter still applies to the Heralds, they were once powered directly by Honor, which made the issue of Stormlight consumption irrelevant.[2]

If a Surgebinder uses an Honorblade that matches the power they already have, their powers will be slightly enhanced.[16]

History

Talenel wielding his Honorblade

Heralds and Shinovar

Our Blades must be left. The Oathpact ends now.

It's unknown at what point the Heralds received their Honorblades, although it likely happened during the creation of the Oathpact. They used them throughout the Desolations until the Aharietiam, whereupon nine of them left them at the site of the final battle before walking away from the Oathpact. Talenel's Honorblade disappeared along with him.[3]

After the Heralds departed, one of the Shin soldiers who participated in the battle stumbled upon them. Likely because of this, the nine Honorblades ended up in Shinovar.[17][18] Over the millennia, they retained the Blades, and even occassinally used them, most notably during the Shin invasions.[19] Even after the invasions failed, they would still train some of their people in the use of the Blades and the associated Surges.[14]

At some point, the Herald Nale reclaimed his own Blade from the Shin, leaving them with eight.[18]

War of Reckoning

A few years before the War of Reckoning broke out, Szeth was given Jezrien's Honorblade upon becoming the Truthless; something that was not usually done.[20] The Blade would go on to cut a swath through the Rosharan leadership as Szeth became the infamous Assassin in White. Among others, Gavilar Kholin, Hanavanar of Jah Keved and two Prime Aqasixes of Azir fell to the Honorblade.[5][21][22]

At roughly the same time, the Herald Talenel returned from Braize, carrying his own Honorblade. He dropped it upon entering Kholinar, but for uknown reasons, it didn't vanish.[23] Talenel was later collected by one of Dalinar Kholin's soldiers, Bordin, to be brought to the Shattered Plains. The Blade was taken along with them; however, at some point during the transit, it was swapped out for a regular Shardblade.[24] It's uknown at this point who performed the swap and where the real Honorblade is currently located.

During the Battle of Narak, Szeth used Jezrien's Honorblade to battle Kaladin above the Plains. At the end of the fight, Szeth unbonded the Blade, however, and the Honorblade landed in Kaladin's hands.[1]

The True Desolation

Kaladin later passed the Honorblade to Dalinar, who hid it in one of the vents in Urithiru.[6] After a while, he gave it to Bridge Four, to use for training and Oathgate operation in absence of their leader.[25] The bridgemen would swap the Blade among themselves every once in a while in order to hide who currently had it and remain unpredictable.[26]

They snuck up to him with Teft's sold-off uniform coat, then killed him with a Shardblade and stole the Honorblade before running off.[27] Taravangian later gave the Blade to Odium at the latter's demands. The Blade was later given to Leshwi, who passed it onto Moash to allow him to join the Fused in the skies.[10]

Blades & Locations

Herald Surgebinding Location
Jezrien Adhesion & Gravitation Initially with Szeth, then Bridge Four, before it was stolen and given to the Voidbringers. Later given to Vyre (Moash) by Leshwi.[10]
Nale Gravitation & Division In Nale's possession.[28]
Chanarach Division & Abrasion With the Shin.[29][30]
Vedel Abrasion & Progression With the Shin.[29][30]
Pailiah Progression & Illumination With the Shin.[29][30]
Shalash Illumination & Transformation With the Shin.[29][30]
Battar Transformation & Transportation With the Shin.[29][30]
Kalak Transportation & Cohesion With the Shin.[29][30]
Talenel Cohesion & Tension Unknown. Talenel had it when he returned to Roshar,[23] but it has since gone missing.[24]
Ishar Tension & Adhesion With the Shin.[29][30]
