One of the funniest “never comes up again” things in SLA is Kaladin and Shallan slaying a full-ass chasmfiend and it’s never mentioned again. Shallan tells Kal to keep it quiet because she doesn’t want people to know she is a Radiant, and he goes, “yep, relatable” as he shows up in the triage tent completely wrecked with his leg in shreds and goes, uh yes, we found a dead chasmfiend. Also, something must’ve chomped on me when I wasn’t looking. Twice. Detail:
