[[File: Szeth_the_assassin.jpg|300px|thumb|right|<center><small>by: [[User: Sheep|Sheep]]</small></center>Szeth holding his Honorblade]]
The first non-Skybreaker Radiant confirmed to have created a Shardblade following the Recreance was [[Shallan Davar]], a young [[Veden]] girl.{{book ref|sa2|88}} She and her spren, a [[Cryptic]] known as [[Pattern]], reached the point in their bond where Shallan gained a Shardblade. However, Shallan's mother, who was possibly connected with the [[Ghostbloods]] or [[Skybreaker]]s, recognized her potential as a Radiant. She attempted to murder Shallan, but was instead murdered by Shallan wielding her Shardblade. This experience was so traumatizing to Shallan that she was unable to recall the exact circumstances of how she gained her Blade for many years, so knowledge of how Shardblades were created remained hidden.
In the year 1168, [[Szeth|Szeth-son-Neturo]], a [[Truthless]] of [[Shinovar]] was sent by the [[Parshendi]] to kill [[Gavilar Kholin]], king of the kingdom of [[Alethkar]].{{book ref|sa1|prologue}} Wielding the Honorblade of the Herald Jezrien,{{book ref|sa2|87}} which he had received from his people,{{book ref|sa1|i|6}} Szeth assassinated many other rulers on the orders of King [[Taravangian]] of [[Kharbranth]].{{book ref|sa1|71}} The use of this Honorblade destabilized the political structures of most of the influential kingdoms of Roshar, particularly [[Azir]]{{book ref|sa2|i|9}} and the nation of [[Jah Keved]], where a succession war occurred.{{book ref|sa2|i|14}}
In the final few days of year 1173, a former slave known as [[Kaladin Stormblessed]], who had bonded a [[honorspren]] named [[Sylphrena]],{{book ref|sa1|57}} swore the third [[Immortal Words|Ideal]] of the [[Windrunners]].{{book ref|sa2|84}} This allowed Syl the ability to become a Shardblade, returning the knowledge of the origins of Shardblades to mankind. Kaladin used his Shardblade to then kill Szeth, and reclaim Jezrien's Honorblade.{{book ref|sa2|86}} By this same time, [[Jasnah Kholin]] had also managed to progress to a point in her bond where her spren, [[Ivory]], could become a Blade.{{book ref|sa2|epilogue}} A few days later, in 1174, the [[Edgedancer]] [[Lift]] swore the third Ideal of her order, allowing her spren [[Wyndle]] to take the form of a Shardblade.{{book ref|edgedancer|19}}
At least one other Radiant, [[Malata]] of the [[Dustbringers]] had progressed sufficiently far to manifest a Shardblade as well. {{book ref|sa3|24}} Renarin Kholin has also managed to manifest a Blade,{{book ref|sa3|10}} but his spren [[Glys]] has been corrupted by [[Sja-anat]], meaning his Blade may be something entirely unique.{{book ref|sa3|117}} Following the rediscovery of Urithiru, living Shardblades have became enormously important for permitting the operation of the Oathgates which allowed for Dalinar's coalition to form.{{book ref|sa3|1}} Jezrien's Honorblade was given by Kaladin to Dalinar, who kept it secret for some time.{{book ref|sa3|16}} During Kaladin's absence on his mission to [[Kholinar]], Dalinar entrusted the Honorblade to the men of [[Bridge Four]], hoping they could guard it and use it to practice their abilities.{{book ref|sa3|64}} Just before the [[Battle of Thaylen Field]], the men of Bridge Four were attacked in Urithiru{{book ref|sa3|i|14}} by an agent of [[Taravangian]] who stole the Honorblade.{{book ref|sa3|122}} Taravangian surrendered the Honorblade to Odium as a part of their agreement, who then gave it as a reward to [[Moash]].{{book ref|sa3|122}} (Add a bit about Teft making a Blade too? How many do we need?)
