  1. I read this as a form of asexual reproduction. They grow hordlings with the intent of separating them off into their own person. It is possible that I read this wrong and you are correct that it is something greater. So many questions. What would it mean if 3 of those four groupings are shattered? Could Dalinar, if he derives(originates? Develops? Obtains? Hard to pick a verb here) a dawnshard could he possibly take up those "free" shards? That would make him immensely powerful.
  2. Ok, I think my brother and I are going to have to record some of these in his studio. I'll post them if we end up doing it.
  3. Rock discusses going on a journey to hotsprings and meeting Hoid. Maybe during this trip, which sounded like it is some sort of rite of passage all Horneaters undergo, he gets bonded with some sort of special spren.
  4. Rock being somehow fused with a spren would make some sense, as Horneaters have Singer blood in them. Maybe Rock's family (which seems to be the royal family) in particular are all bonded with a spren that grants increased strength?
  5. Not sure exactly, but there does seem to be a very different bond between the Honor Blades and the Heralds. I also think when they abandoned their Honor Blades at the last desolation it very well could have severed any connection they had to them. Welcome to the forum.
  6. To echo many, in no particular order, 1) The entire Dalinar walking up to Odium clutching TWoK to "The most important step a man can take is the next one." To "You cannot have my pain." Beautiful. I still tear up. 2) Kaladin and bridge 4 realizing at the tower that they had to go save the Kholin army. 3) "Honor is dead. But I'll see what I can do." 4) Adolin ignoring Elhokar's death so he could get everyone to the Oathgate, realizing that the Oathgate is corrupted and asking Shallan to activate it anyway. 5) Evi telling Adolin and Renarin as kids what a wonderful person their father was, while he essentially neglected them. 6) Renarin trying to comfort his father by giving him wine and Dalinar breaking down crying and hugging him. 7) The whole Renarin/Jasnah scene.
  7. I think the real question is, if Sja-Anat is actually not evil now, why did she/he not just let the Oathgate function normally for Shallan and Co? I assumed that it was incapable of operating normally, but obviously it was. Maybe it would have been obvious that Sja-Anat defected if they were immediately transferred to Urithiru, but Odium didn't seem to know that they were in Shadesmar until they were in Celebrant. It does seem odd to me though.
  8. And in this brief moment of lucidity he expressed joy for having suffered for so long, giving the humans a chance to live free of Desolations. He's too good for us.
  9. I would agree that Rock is the best. He is basically the cream in the Oreo cookie! As a second I would say Sigzil. He also was cool enough to be Hoid's apprentice. Also, I wouldn't put Renarin in with bridge 4. He is kind of in his own category. I understand why you included him, it just feels wrong to me.
  10. I think it is a possibility. Something as invested with Honor's power taking in a chunk of Odium's investeture would certainly be terrifying.
  11. I like the theory propagated on the Shardcast that whatever the KR did to capture Ba-Ado-Mishrim while she was connected to the parshmen caused them to lose their forms and cut them off from making normal bonds. Whatever she did to rally them and start the false desolation caused them to completely lose their connection to the cognitive realm when she was captured. The Shardcast also believes this is part of what caused the Knights Radiant to abandon their oaths, as they realized they had essentially committed genocide.
  12. I remember my page, even when reading multiple books.
  13. The mists pre-deepness were like they are in Era 2, I believe. Also, the atmosphere was thinner, as the ashmounts weren't around.
  14. You could discuss the 3 books within one book structuring with multiple climaxes. It is a structure usually only used by really great authors (Tolkein did this as well).
  15. Syl. I just love her. Pattern is a close second. Rua seems pretty great, although he would have to be to be with the Lopen.
