  1. Could it be possible Kaladin’s resistance isn’t solely related to investiture? When he initially feels the dampening effect, he assumes it is simply his depression and pushes through it, like he has had to do many times throughout his life. Maybe he has a bit of natural resistance built up from fighting in this familiar battlefield. That, coupled with his level of investiture, could have given him an advantage.
  2. Crazy idea but what if Iyatil and all of the Southern Scadriens weren't originally from Scadrial. Maybe Kelsier saved them from whatever fate they were facing in the flashback, maybe even with Sazed's blessing. So Iyatil is from Scadrial but not her people.
  3. It's certainly plausible. They would be operating hundreds of years after the events of M:SH. Plenty of time for Kelsier to recruit a solid "crew". Roshar also seems to be an important battleground in the cosmere (and quite full of worldhoppers). I'm guessing Blightsongs theory stems from the Ghostblood in the mask being a southern Scadrial. Who knows though, she could be working for anyone.
  4. I agree with Lord Pifferdoo. My interpretation was that he was too proud, or didn't feel Dalinar was "worthy" of his trust in bearing him as a Shard. In fact I think it's very possible Dalinar will prove his awesomeness to the Stormfather and, in a clutch moment, save Dalinar by finally materializing as a super badass shardblade!
  5. What if a Bondsmith's task is not only to unite men but also Spren? We know that not all spren seem to get along. In fact some are rather hostile to each other. I remember Syl disliking both Highspren and Pattern (liespren?). Maybe part of a Bondsmith's unique power comes from bonding the unique "leaders" of the Spren. Syl refers to the Stormfather as her father. Wyndle makes a reference to his mother. Maybe there is a 3rd as well. A Bondsmith's bond with these Spren leaders could put him in a unique position to influence all spren into setting aside their differences and working together as one cohesive team. You thought uniting men was hard! Think about all the extremes in all the sprens' ideals. I could say more but this is a quick post I squeezed in on my lunch break!
  6. So we assume Tanavast formed the Oathpact with Rayse involving the heralds to limit the desolations. The spren started the Nahel Bond with men to mimic what Tanavast did for the heralds with the honorblades. What if the Heralds, by breaking their oaths, damaged the original oathpact. What if the Radiants or the spren made a new oathpact with Odium that the current "living" spren knew nothing about. What if the Recreance, breaking the Nahel Bond, was part of this new pact. They lock up Urithiru, foresake their oaths, and walk away. Maybe the resurgence of the Nahel Bond is weakening or breaking this new pact. What do you think?
  7. Hey everyone I'm Gyth, HUGE Sanderson Fan. I was scared to pick up the WoT series when I heard Jordan had cancer before he finished his series. Someone told me this guy Brandon Sanderson finished his series and it was great so I gave it a shot. After finishing that I realized how awesome Sanderson was and started picking up his other works. Then was blown away by his cosmere when I found it. Stormlight Archive is a masterwork that I am soundly hooked. I relisten to the audio books everyday driving to and from work now and whenever I get a lunch break. I want to say how awesome everyone is on these forums as well! Thanks for just being here. First forums I have ever joined. I am leaving on a cruise for the week and can't wait to see what's new when I get back! Bon Voyage!
  8. The latest Q&A someone asked: Q: Will a Radiant using an honorblade get those surges, too? A: Yes, "it is possible to get multiples." So what surge combo would you want to see? It may be kinda early for this questions considering we don't know a whole lot, but lots of cool implications. Or dangerous baddies.
  9. I was checking out the Introduce yourself forums and I came across Rererak's post. He asked a questions about how the highstorms affect the pupation of chasm fiends. It makes perfect sense considering their "heart" is a gemstone that would absorb the storms' stormlight. It could fuel their growth or change, among other things. I'm not sure if this has been brought up, but thanks for posting that question and answer Rererak and Shardlet, It's what caused my consideration I wonder what implication this could have on the origination of great shells. Which came first, the chasm fiends, or the highstorms.
  10. Awesome signing! I have only one thing to say. Kaladin duel wielding honorblades
  11. Someone could certainly have swapped out Taln with Jezrien, who we know is missing his honorblade.
  12. Is the ability to worldhop to and from Roshar easier or unique to Roshar? If yes, does presence of the Shards of Adonalsium influence this?
  13. I believe he is Taln. When he shows up at the gate speaking "perfect Alethi" he seems coherent. It's possible after he collapses and loses consciousness, he loses his grip on reality. It's possible the torture is to blame. Sure, he broke. He is a warrior. He is one of the Almighty's champions. When Amaram chases after the assassin, I like to think the possible threat of voidbinders attacking, stirred something primal and innate in Taln. Once he realizes it was a simple assassin, he slips back into his trance. Or Taln was at the gates. Then somehow he was switched for Jezrien. He could have broke from the guilt of leaving Taln to endure alone. Who knows, in his guilt Jezrien could have fixated on Taln to the point he lost track of who he was.
  14. What if Darkness' goal, as the military police of the Radiants, was actually to protect the spren from those Radiants who would forsake their oaths? After witnessing the events of the Recreance he could be enforcing this a bit more harshly.
  15. Back to Mr T having visions. It's already been mentioned that Bondsmiths could bond with specific spren. Maybe Mr T could be receiving visions from another unique spren, such as the Nightmother, or less likely, Cusicesh. Maybe those unique spren are tied to Cultivation, with a slightly different agenda. Just a thought.
