Has this been mentioned. Has been awhile since I was last here....

So the connection between these 2 and how they balance each other out....Anyone know? For certain?

the only thing we know for certain is that both of their weapons channel d'riss directly, making them incredibly dangerous and the kind of people you don't trifle with. greymane is newer to the game though, and so he is more cautious with using his weapon... SW spoiler:

at least until he knocks down a wall the size of japan with it.

BEST Spoiler comment ever.
At any rate, Minhasing is correct. I don't think they necessarily balance each-other out in any way.
Of interesting note is that, indeed, Greymane is as of yet reluctant, while Brood has an "agenda", so to speak, with his weapon.

Further, Brood was chosen directly by Burn, while (from what I understand), Greymane more randomly chanced upon it thanks to a chat with the Storm-folk

I used to have a theory that Greymane was Burn's mortal sword and Brood her Destriant or Shield Anvil (could never decide which one fit him better, probably destriant) and Ruthan Gudd was the third, her Shield Anvil (him riding out to take that beating from the KCNR in DoD would even be somewhat fitting if that were the case).

However this would require Burn being in serious cahoots with the stormriders, which is a fact I've never quite been able to reconcile to make my theory fit.

Its not too far fetched. Thats what so frustrating about SW is that it doesnt answer fundamental questions.

Edit
Moderate SW spoilers below as despite being on this site for 5 years I still havnt mastered spoiler tags ffs

Spoiler

Id say a link between the SR and Burn is plausible else how did they come across the sword to give to Greymane. Theres a link between the sword and Burn and not just the Sword and the Wall as at the end of ROTCG Greymane is reluctant to use the sword so close to a temple of Burn. The decisions they both have to face are very similar, unleashing destruction n a vast scale to stop destruction on an even vaster scale.

fwiw-I'm assuming this thread comes from this quote from Hood speaking to Shurq Elalle about the allies they have aligned

"The Warlord of the Sleeping Goddess, who would defy the eternal patience of the earth itself, and Stonewielder, the One
who stood facing Caladan Brood, ensuring the world's balance. These two are destined to walk disparate paths, but what
they seek is much the same"
