Questioner
What do Shardblade Cryptics look like? They can't really have crossed out eyes. Would their pattern-
Brandon Sanderson
You mean like a deadeye?
Questioner
Yeah.
Brandon Sanderson
It will be noticeable, but it won't be the same as the eyes. Let's just say their algorithm is messed up.
TomereK
So Shardblades. When they cut off the victims, the eyes burn up. And deadeyes have their eyes scratched out in Shadesmar. Is there any relation between them?
Brandon Sanderson
There is indeed a connection there.
TomereK
Is it RAFO?
Brandon Sanderson
It's a RAFO, but there is a connection. You got something out of me there.
Questioner
It sounds like Adolin's sword Maya might be able to be resurrected?
Brandon Sanderson
*presumably nods yes*
Questioner
Is it possible that other swords could be resurrected as well?
Brandon Sanderson
Hmmmm, the coveted RAFO card.
Greg Andrew
Did Radiants who broke their oaths prior to the Recreance also result in deadeye spren?
Brandon Sanderson
No.
Jofwu
It seems that deadeyes can wander Shadesmar freely, but when summoned as a Shardblade and subsequently dismissed, they end up at the location in Shadesmar corresponding to the location of the Shardbearer. How does this work for deadeyes who are cared for by a loved one, like Captain Ico?
Brandon Sanderson
They would vanish if their Shardblade were summoned.
Adam Horne
But it's been a while since that's happened, so it's not as much of a concern?
Brandon Sanderson
You can assume that there are more deadeyes wandering Shadesmar whose Shardblades have been lost, than there are ones that the Shardblades are kept. Probably about an equal number, I would say, 50/50. Though I would have to really crunch those numbers. I'd say that across 5000 years-ish... not quite, but you know. That a lot of those weapons, even though they are powerful and things like that, are gonna get lost. Ships are gonna get sunk; things get covered over with crem on Roshar; people go up to cross mountain passes to go attack, and they end up freezing and dying. And I think that over the years, there's been a ton of those that have been lost.
Jack Kimbell
Could Sja-anat heal a deadeye by changing them?
Brandon Sanderson
Heal? That's going to depend on your definition of heal. But, there are definitely some that would call what would occur healing. They would be different from the way they had been before.
James Smallwood
Can the Voidspren bonded by the Regals be killed and become deadeyes?
Brandon Sanderson
Voidspren bonded by the Regals, right, okay. I'll RAFO that for now. I haven't gotten into the mechanics of the Regals nearly as much as I want to eventually get into it.
Let's just say something weird is happening to make deadeyes. They didn't exist before the Recreance. There should be a relationship here that reminds you of something else you've seen in the Cosmere.
Questioner:
(paraphrased)
In RoW was see Kaladin telling Syl that he believes that the Recreance took place not as one event such as fever stone keep, but on an individual basis. This has created many discussions in the fandom about how the spren could have been unaware that they would become deadeye's. Is this because it took people years later to discover how to summon and dismiss shards through an ornementation mishap, and deadeye's weren't seen by the other spren in shadesmar until there was no stopping anyone.
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
The recreance wasn't something that happened over months, more like days. And the decision was made in the heat of the moment by the spren and their knights.
