A character in Edgedancer, mentions "(Paraphrased) Radiants somehow find each other, and group up." We see this dynamic specifically alluded to in WoR. Shallan's reaction to Jasnah's solution to her Soulcaster(item). (Paraphrased)"How easy would everything have been if I had just asked for help." Who's to say Shallan would have become her ward, exposed her intelligence enough to be shown Jasnah's theories about the Parshmen, shown Jasnah her ability to Soulcast, or been invited to join her in the Shattered plans? Sure, the plan to somehow steal the Soulcaster from Jasnah was a bit farfetched, but I argue that it had to be in order to ensure that Shallan "grouped" with Jasnah. Eshonai in Interlude One mentions a fervent need to speak with Dalinar, whom is on his way to becoming a Radiant at the time, and she's been theorized to be a budding Radiant as well. This theory is somewhat weak, but I'm arguing that perhaps all of Roshar is so invested that perhaps some of it (spren specifically, but possibly something else like with Sel?) is actually guiding some events? Eshonai being more attuned to the Cognitive is perhaps actually feeling this pull? Perhaps certain nudges are what pushed Kaladin to slavery and then the bridge crews? Perhaps it's what pushed Lift to save Gawx? I'm wondering if it's Honor and Cultivation's Intents pushing on events? Perhaps against Odium's? There's some possible anecdotal evidence in Edgedancer, but it doesn't back up anything I'm saying here. I guess we'll see if this is a continuing trend?
