OK, thanks.  I tried to look for this first.  The search didn't work and no topic titles looked obvious.  Can you point me to any of the previous topics?

Brandon Sanderson / Shardplate and Surgebinding (**Spoilers**)
« on: September 23, 2010, 07:56:23 PM »
I'm on my re-read (actually, first read after listening to audiobook).  In the Prologue, Szeth comments that shardplate interferes with what he does (surgebinding).  But, later in one of Dalinar's visions, he sees Knights Radiant performing what appears as surgebinding.  What gives?

My theory is that it has to do with the spren and "the words"  After they say "the words" as Kaladin did, it changes something so that the plate no longer interferes.

But, this also begs the question that I haven't seen addressed anywhere.  Does Szeth have a spren?

I agree that the Heralds aren't dead.  I also think there is something to the fact that Talenel returned to Alethkar.  I wonder if the other Heralds are "ruling" in some form the other kingdoms.  Could Taravangian be a Herald?  Remember that they all broke.  As for where the battle in the Prelude was fought, I suspect it was the shattered plains.  Subtle things as I re-read it made me think of that.  In particular, that the Heralds met at the tower, so I think their swords are there, but covered in stone(crem).

Also, why do people assume Jasneh was correct that the voidbringers are the Parshendi?  That's her theory, but the thunderclast in the Prelude seems more like an actual voidbringer.
