<p>Stormlight place/lore/order article (Corvus), book-canon</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>The &#039;&#039;&#039;Honorblades&#039;&#039;&#039; are ten unique and powerful swords created by the [[Shards of Adonalsium|Shard]] [[Honor]] and granted to the ten [[The Heralds|Heralds]], the original source of [[Surgebinding]] powers on [[Roshar]] and the prototypes from which ordinary [[Shardblade|Shardblades]] ultimately derive their name. The Honorblades are objects of profound significance in the lore of [[The Stormlight Archive]].<br /> <br /> == Description ==<br /> The Honorblades resemble [[Shardblade|Shardblades]] in form but are distinct in nature and power. Each was given by [[Honor]] to one of the ten [[The Heralds|Heralds]], granting that Herald command of two of the ten [[Surges]] -- the same surges later wielded by the corresponding order of [[Knights Radiant]]. Unlike living Shardblades, the Honorblades are not [[Spren]]; they are direct creations of Honor.<br /> <br /> == Powers ==<br /> A wielder of an Honorblade gains [[Surgebinding]] powers without the need for a [[Nahel bond]] with a [[Spren]]. However, this comes at a cost: Honorblades consume [[Stormlight]] far less efficiently than the spren bond of a true Radiant, so their wielders burn through Stormlight much more quickly. The Honorblades grant their surges to whoever holds them, making them transferable in a way that the [[Knights Radiant]]&#039;s spren-granted powers are not.<br /> <br /> == History and Custody ==<br /> After the [[The Heralds|Heralds]] abandoned the [[Oathpact]], they left their Honorblades behind. Several came to be kept in [[Shinovar]], held by the [[Shin]] as sacred relics. The Shin used some Honorblades to create their own warriors -- most notably [[Szeth]], the Assassin in White, who wielded the Honorblade of [[Jezerezeh|Jezrien]] and its Surges of Adhesion and Gravitation, mirroring the powers of the [[Windrunners]].<br /> <br /> == Significance ==<br /> The Honorblades are the wellspring of [[Surgebinding]] on Roshar, predating the [[Knights Radiant]] and providing the model for their powers. Their possession and use, particularly by [[Szeth]], drive key events of [[The Stormlight Archive]].<br /> <br /> [[Category:The Stormlight Archive]]<br /> [[Category:Lore]]</div>
