His Shardplate glowed with blue light and he bore a Shardblade, while Stormlight rose from his body.[1]

Knights Radiant

Harkaylain inquired of Heb just who'd trained him to the sword. He recognized that Heb's stances were unfamiliar to him, but that they were practiced and precise. Further, he invited Heb to put his skills to use in training moreso at Urithiru.[1]

A Desolation is coming.
