'''Shardblades''' were magical weapons of unknown origin which waswere used by the [[Knights Radiant]] on [[Roshar]].
{{attention}}
Shardblades were much longer than than an average blade (a notable exception being [[Szeth]]'s Shardblade).
They were unbreakable and cancould cut through any non-living material with ease.
When a Shardblade encountersencountered living flesh, it severssevered the creature's soul rather than its body;
however, once the creature iswas killed, the remains interactinteracted with the blade like any other non-living material.
= Shardplate=
'''Shardplate''' was ornate armor that coverscovered the entire body and iswas powered by [[stormlight]], through the use of gemstones located at key points on the armor. Related to [[Shardblade]]s, it iswas nearly indestructible, though Shardblades or constant attacks against it cancould eventually break it down whereupon it willwould need to be recharged and repaired by letting it draw Stormligt from infused gems. People wearing shardplate arewere gifted with advanced strength and speed, though it iswas no substitute for skill.
In present times, shardplate is often painted according to the bearer's preference, but when worn by the [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] of old, the 'plate glowed according to the Order they were a part of.
= Shardbearer =
'''Shardbearer''' iswas a term used to refer to someone who holdsheld a '''Shardblade''' or a suit of '''Shardplate'''.
If someone holdsheld both a [[Shardblade]] and [[Shardplate]], they arewere considered a "Full Shardbearer."
They musthad to wait ten hearbeats (which the [[Shardbearer]] cancould hear no matter how loud his surroundings) after summoning the Shardblade before it appearsappeared.
When a Shardblade appearsappeared, it formsformed as is from mist, wet with dew.
If the Blade iswas dropped or put down when the [[Shardbearer]] iswas still alive, the Shardblade willwould vanish unless the bearer willswilled it to remain.
However, when the '''Shardbearer''' diesdied, the Shardblade remainsremained corporeal and maycould be claimed by another.
The term "Shardbearer" is not to be confused with "[[ShardholderShard]]," which refers to someone holding a [[Shard of Adonalsium]].
