Questioner
The Herald of War at the end of Way of Kings-- I assume he had an Honorblade with him?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
Questioner
Okay... So when Dalinar had the sword that he gave up...
Brandon Sanderson
Yes.
Questioner
...for the Stormfather it actually cried, which it typically happens if there's spren in the sword, which means that was not an Honorblade, correct?
Brandon Sanderson
Yes, and if you look they're described differently!
Questioner
Which means somebody else has the sword, correct?
Brandon Sanderson
The sword was switched out!
Questioner
Probably by Wit. I'm not going to ask you for spoilers, but...
Brandon Sanderson
Wit does not have the sword.
Questioner
No!?
Brandon Sanderson
But... I can't-- I dunno if I've told people whether or not he at one point had the sword... But he does not have the sword now.

What happened to Taln's honorblade after Words of Radiance?
Brandon Sanderson
RAFO

(paraphrased)
Why didn't Dalinar get Surgebinding from bonding Taln's Honorblade?
Brandon Sanderson
(paraphrased)
You assume Dalinar held Taln's Blade.
Questioner
How was Dalinar able to bond Taln's Shardblade -- Honorblade?
Brandon Sanderson
It's not Taln's Honorblade.
Questioner
At the very end of Words of Radiance, Dalinar touches a Shardblade and it screams at him. Shouldn't that particular Blade have been safe?
Brandon Sanderson
No it should not have. It's a clue that something has happened.
[...]
[This is] a question that the subtle reader should be asking. And there are other clues that something is wrong with what the story you've been told is.
Questioner
Because Option 2 is that it's unsafe to touch an honorblade, but there's no evidence of that.
Brandon Sanderson
There is no evidence of that. In fact there's much stronger evidence that something else is going on.
Questioner 2
Did Hoid switch out the blades?
Brandon Sanderson
Hoid did not switch out the blades, but good question.
mooglefrooglian
The man who calls himself Taln had his Blade swapped with another. Presumably, the people (or person) doing so thought he had an Honorblade.
Would the people who did the swap have known if Taln did not in fact actually have an Honorblade? Could they have been taking a chance and in fact ended up with a regular Shardblade?
Brandon Sanderson
This is possible. Assuming they knew just what they were trying to grab, they'd probably have figured it out very quickly.
Questioner
Does Hoid have two Honorblades?
Brandon Sanderson
Hoid has no Honorblades.
Questioner
That's wrong on both counts, actually? Waiting for Brandon to give them to him, right?
Brandon Sanderson
Currently has no Honorblades.
Questioner
I was a little bit interested in Words of Radiance...how Taln's Shardblade screams for Dalinar when the other Honorblade doesn't scream for Kaladin...
Brandon Sanderson
That is true. So, if you look at the description Shardblade at the end of book one and they present it book 2, check the [clipped].
Questioner 2
You also give a hint at the end of the book of what happened.
Brandon Sanderson
Yeah. I give a hint in the book of what happened as well, the hint is, those aren't the same swords.
