Back in, I think, Words of Radiance I asked you-- Somebody asked the question that had to do with the number 10 on Roshar and I didn't get the question on the recording--which was horrible--but your answer talked about Honor's purposes. Is what you said, and you mentioned 10 of them and that is why the number 10 is so sacred. Could you say something so I have something on the record? So we know what you said about that?
Brandon Sanderson
Honor's purposes...
Argent
Or Shard's purposes... Like what is that all about?
Brandon Sanderson
That will become-- I said it vaguely on purpose.
Volratho
Was Roshar equally Invested by Cultivation and Honor originally?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
Volratho
How 'bout now, since he's been--
Brandon Sanderson
So the Investiture is all still there... It is not all accessible. So, at this point, you might say-- I'd say it's a point of disputation. It would be worth arguing either way. I will say at this point, no, it's not equal anymore. But definitions of where the power is and what it counts as is ambiguous.
Volratho
So Cultivation has more active Investiture?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, I would say yes... Well, but she's been very coy. I'm gonna leave it at that.

Will Dalinar become the next holder of Honor.
Brandon Sanderson
Hahahaha, yeah-- RAFO.

How many parties were there to the original Oathpact?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
The Heralds and Honor. They thought that by walking away from their oaths, that it would break the Oathpact. They're going to find out that it's not quite as broken as they had previously thought (meaning the Heralds).

Can Dalinar hypothetically repair Honor's Shard or this is beyond his powers?
Brandon Sanderson
This would not be within the scope of his powers, traditionally. (Though I should note that what it even means to 'repair Honor's Shard' is subject to debate.)
Questioner
So... Shardblades are modeled after Honorblades. Are Honorblades modeled after something else?
Brandon Sanderson
The Honorblades were provided for the Heralds. The person doing the providing was aware of certain things. So, yes, but not really. I think it is-- I can answer a "yes," but it's more like a big asterisk.
Aurimus
Secondly a theory of mine is around the healing factor of Stormlight. I believe that the healing was added later by Honor because it would heal away the Ashyn diseases that bring powerful Surgebinding - it's Tanavast's way of preventing the Ashyn magic system following Odium and Humanity over to Roshar. Can you confirm healing is a newer addition to Stormlight, or comment on this at all?
Brandon Sanderson
For the second, I'll RAFO for now. Interesting theory!
CaptainObvious0927
The really question is, given the death of Rayse, is Honor really dead? Or is his essence out there, still available to be claimed?
Brandon Sanderson
I will answer this for certain by the end of Book Five. For now, RAFO.
atheistcanuck
The Almighty’s original name was Tanavast, yes/no?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes and no. The concept of the “Almighty” in Roshar has a lot of meanings, many of them wrong.
atheistcanuck
But the person who held the Shard Honor was originally named Tanavast?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes. You wiggled it out of me. That was the name of the original holder of the Shard Honor.
stormlightfan70
At any point did Tanavast relinquish the power of Honor to someone else?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.

(paraphrased)
Could Honor and Autonomy be considered opposites, like, Autonomy freeing from Honor's oaths?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
Yes, you could definitely think of it that way. Those two are more likely to be opposed than some others.
EHyde
As Lift's spren refers to the Nightwatcher as Mother, right...
Brandon Sanderson
He definitely calls somebody a mother. The implication in the text is that it's the Nightwatcher.
EHyde
Certainly, so I'm just going to run with that right now. So the question that I'm asking is, is surgebinding in general a melding of Honor and Odium, a la feruchemy being in some sense not directly derivative of Ruin and Preservation?
Brandon Sanderson
It is...Honor and Cultivation is what you mean?
EHyde
Yes.
Brandon Sanderson
There are spren of all three Shards, and those spren can work within the bounds of the magic that has already been set up on Roshar.
EHyde
What Shard are Cryptics associated with?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO.
Questioner
Was Honor just talking about the people on Roshar when he told Dalinar to "Unite them?"
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO. *taunting hum* Read and find out.
