'''Shardplate'''
In present times, shardplate is often painted according to the bearer's preference, but when worn by the [[Knights Radiant|Radiants]] of old, the Plate glowed according to the Order they were a part of.
The plate and blades can no longer be produced on Roshar, the technology or magic that made them is lost to the ages. Some even claim they are gifts from the [[Almighty]] himself to aid in the fight against the forces of [[Damnation]], since myth states men weren't able to forge steel at that time. This, in addition to their rarity, means that they are highly prized and sought after items. They are said to be, "priceless, worth fortunes, cities, kingdoms!" they are almost always seen as awe inspiring relics to envy, cherish, and/or fear, if you are to oppose someone possessing them. Those who happen to fight with both plate and blade are given such a large advantage that they are said to be equivalent to whole battalions, though just one of the items give the wielder a huge advantage.
During a vision that took place during what appeared to be the [[Day of Requience]] [[Dalinar]] sees as many as 200 Shard Bearers abandon their plate and blades, but when he thinks to the present day, he cannot think of more than 100 between all the kingdoms on Roshar. The whereabouts of these remaining Shards is not known. The kingdoms of [[Kolanar]], and [[Karbronth]] are thought to be the kingdoms with the most, and a share a similar number between each of them.
