Shardplate was ornate armor that covered the entire body and was powered by stormlight, through the use of gemstones located at key points on the armor. Related to Shardblades, it was nearly indestructible, though Shardblades or constant attacks against it could eventually break it down whereupon it would need to be recharged and repaired by letting it draw Stormligt from infused gems. People wearing shardplate were gifted with advanced strength and speed, though it was no substitute for skill.

In present times, shardplate is often painted according to the bearer's preference, but when worn by the Radiants of old, the 'plate glowed according to the Order they were a part of.
