"(Let it be known that interest in this question does not translate into affection towards Sadeas) \n(Also I place this topic here, rather than in WotK because it contains specific relation to WoR) \n  \nWe see from a Dalinar PoV - following the Chasmfiend hunt, that Sadeas is a mentionably skilled swordsman. He doesn't draw steel or anything, but inner monologue tells us plenty.  \n  \nWe know from Andolin's duel, that shard-bearers can borrow from royal stock if lacking a piece of the set, so why hasn't Sadeas borrowed a blade and bet his plate to gain the blade he so coveted (prior to gaining oathbringer) \n  \nWe know he would likely not duel Andolin - but Sadeas, being a true Alethi, through and through, covets pride, wealth, and power like none-other, and loves the thrill, or Thrill, of competition. If he is as good as Dalinar suggests, I can't reason him out of picking on a lower ranking shardbearer, much like Andolin, and laying down the law. \n  \nDid the fear of losing his plate worry him so much? \n"
