:::This rattle appears to refer to Kaladin and [[Shallan Davar|Shallan]] returning to the warcamps at the [[Shattered Plains]] following their fall into the chasms. The "pit" is a reference to the chasms and the "two dead men" are Kaladin and Shallan, presumed to be dead after the fall. The "heart" is an emerald [[gemheart]] they harvested from a [[chasmfiend]] they encountered and killed on their return journey.{{ref|text=[[Summary:Words of Radiance#Chapter 75|The chapter of ''Words of Radiance'' in which Kaladin and Shallan return from the chasms]] is titled "True Glory."}}
:::This rattle appears to refer to Kaladin saving [[Elhokar]] from [[Moash]], an event during which Kaladin swears the [[Knights Radiant/Immortal Words#Ideals of the Windrunners|Third Ideal of the Windrunners]]. "The one who killed my promises" likely refers to the fact that Elhokar, through a string of related events, was responsible for Kaladin being unable to keep his promise to protect Tien in battle. "I raise my hand. The storm responds." refers to the fact that Kaladin's words are accepted and Syl returns to him as a Shardblade.
