Calthrop Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) Remember the line where the Sleepless mentions that 'they are watching the assassin, the liar, the surgeon, and the highprince' (paraphrasing here) and not paying attention to Lift? So, did we just get confirmation that Kaladin's father is a radiant? Can't think of any other obvious surgeons to fit the bill. The assassin is likely Szeth (though could be Jasnah's contact from WoR intro), the Liar is Shallan, and the highprince has got to be Dalinar (oh please don't let it be Sadeas with a regrowth power). Leaving the surgeon, and my money is on Lirin. I know there was speculation before, but this kind of seals it in my humble opinion. Unless some random battlefield surgeon is a hidden radiant.

Weltall Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 (edited) The summary on the WoK dust jacket identifies Kaladin as 'The Surgeon' in the same sentence that it identifies Shallan, Dalinar and Szeth by the other titles Arclo uses so it's definitely him.

Weltall Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I edited that but now I'd change what I used to have there from 99.9% to 100%. It's implied the Sleepless are the ones writing the dust jacket blurbs and we know the one in WoK was talking about Kaladin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calthrop Posted November 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Good point you make there about the dust jacket. Still thought it worth remarking on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanrei Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I think Kaladin is Surgeon. It was path before he became spearman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
