So Stormlight and Breath are both just different manifestations of Investiture.
That’s correct.
So Nightblood and Shardblades are both kind of powered by Investiture?
Yes, in fact you can call Nightblood kind of a miss-made, evil Shardblade– more miss-made than evil but yes.
But a Shardblade wouldn’t shear through Nightblood.
Yes a Shardblade would not shear through Nightblood. In fact I wrote The Way of Kings first and then I wrote Warbreaker and The Way of Kings came out after Warbreaker but in my mind Warbreaker is a prequel to The Way of Kings , where I was telling Vasher’s backstory.
Oh really, so the Warbreaker we know takes place after The Way of Kings ?
No, it takes place before, it’s a prequel meaning I wrote The Way of Kings and then I went back in time and told Vasher’s backstory but Warbreaker ended up coming out first because The Way of Kings wasn’t ready yet.
