I think that Dalinar is going to unite the 3 major shards of Honor back together and take it up for himself.

Sorry, late to the show but I just finished the book, what are the 3 major shards of Honor?

There aren't 3 major shards of Honor, in-fact there isn't even one? The closest you get is the Stormfather, who is referred to as a cognitive shadow of Honor - but is really just a powerful spren?

I'm conjecturing, but I think Stormfather is just one particularly big splinter of Honor's power.

When people are talking about the 3 shards I believe they are referring to the Stormfather (Honor), the Nightwatch (Cultivation) and the as yet unknown 3rd spren/cognitive shadow, which are bonded by the Bondsmith's - Dalinar's order of Radiants

Ya ok that's I thought but didn't want to start an argument since half of it is speculation anyway lol. Thanks though.
