**My understanding is that after the binding of Ba-Ado-Mishram the listeners were left in parshman state, making zero effort to take care of themselves. Thus the humans started taking them in and giving them tasks while making sure they were cared for. 4 millenia later this has morphed to them being ideal servants/slaves.

** Regarding the second question. In ''Oathbringer'', it's shown that the Oathgates are each powered by a pair of spren. It could be that the keyhole, or even the entire gate, are physical manifestations of the spren.

* How is Shardplate repaired? No one on Roshar has the knowledge to make new Shardplate, pieces explode when damaged enough, and new parts can't be made because it's solid Investiture. Yet we see shardplate damaged like this all the time, and then seemingly repaired like normal. How is that possible?
** Explained in a scene in ''The Way of Kings'': if provided with stormlight, Shardplate repairs itself (even, apparently, if in pieces, although while not stated there is presumably something keeping one doing it separately to two pieces and getting two Shardplates).
*** Whichever piece is larger will regenerate the full set of armor over time when exposed to Stormlight. Any smaller pieces crumble to dust.

** It seems to be more which piece gets the most Stormlight, though size does matter. It's mentioned that in theory, the Parshendi could use Dalinar's lost gauntlet to grow a new set of Plate for themselves--but since the Alethi have the bigger pieces, this will probably just result in it taking longer for the Alethi to regrow the gauntlet. It's never mentioned again, so the Parshendi probably didn't even bother trying.

** One thing to remember about Roshar is that humans are significantly tougher and more resistant to disease and poison compared with other humans on other worlds, due to the sheer amount of Investiture soaking the whole planet. So the antidote plus the natural resistance to toxins and disease that Roshar humans possess likely fully neutralized all of the poison that Kabsal was dusting the bread with.

* Even with an antidote, wouldn't regularly eating poisoned food cause some nasty side effects? Wouldn't the antidote have an effect on the body anyways? I might understand if Kasbal were a pharmacist and gave Shallan discrete pills, but he administered it in jam. Wouldn't he accidentally give her an overdose if she slathered her bread in jam, or vice versa?

** It appears that the point of the Skybreaker oaths is for the Radiant to evolve past them as they reach the next one. Szeth's second Ideal ("I will seek justice, until I find a more perfect Ideal") is superseded by his oath to Dalinar, and the fifth Ideal involves them "becoming justice" and apparently able to make their own decisions on what is right. So while swearing to a mortal isn't the greatest idea, it's also not a one-way ticket to a broken Ideal.
