Difference between revisions of "Day of Recreance"

The Knights Radiant somehow discovered that [[Surgebinding]] had destroyed [[Ashyn]], the world mankind first inhabited, and humans then invaded Roshar, the [[Dawnsingers]]' land. When previous generations had learned this fact, [[Honor]] had counseled them that their cause was just. During the generation of the Recreance, Honor was deteriorating under the onslaught of Odium and did not do so. Instead, he raved about the [[Dawnshard]]s, ancient weapons responsible for the destruction of the [[Tranquiline Halls]]Ashyn, and promised the Radiants they would also destroy [[Roshar]]. In order to save the world, nine Orders decided to give up their powers so that Roshar wouldn't be destroyed like their first world was.{{book ref|sa3|113}}
