Stormlight Archive Discussion - General

Hey, guys.  I just finished Way of Kings and Words of Radiance.  We don't seem to have a discussion thread on the existing books.

Can anyone tell me what the fuck is up with Urithiru?

Can anyone tell me what the fuck is up with Urithiru?

What about it? From what I've read:

Spoiler

• I think it can only be accessed by Oathgates like the one Shallan found on the Shattered Plains.
  
• Apparently it's in the mountains, and there are some small villages nearby 
  
• Since they found it at the end of the book, I figure we'll find out a lot more in book 3

Questions include: why is everyone and their mother able to use the oathgate?  I mean, I thought it had to be an honorblade?  or did I miss something

I think they just need a shardblade/bonded spren, not an honorblade

Oathgate can only be opened by people with bonded spren, AKA radiants.
