Frasure2 Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 So I just started Part 2 of OB, and something has been confusing me since the end of WOR/Start of OB. How do they infuse spheres at Urithiru? I've read multiple times that the city is above the highstorms and they are never concerned about the Everstorm because they are above it. So how do they infuse spheres there if the storms never touch them? I may have missed something and would like some clarity. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doomdrinker Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 I'm not sure if you'd have read far enough but it is mentioned how they infuse spheres there. I don't know how to do spoilers but it's on page 54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frasure2 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am on page 395 of Oathbringer. I reread page 54 and still didn't get any clarity. Thanks for the response though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) @Frasure2 first off, this should be in the spoiler board. As to your question OB spoilers Spoiler There are baskets on chain mechanisms meant to lower spheres down into the storms themselves.

.S.A.M.K.M Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am betting the tower is the perfect lightning rod for storm light, possibly even void light. These energies are keep advantages to the knight radiants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tower is above the Highstorms' level and can't directly recive Stormlight from the Storm itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.S.A.M.K.M Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 I am pretty sure the tower extend deep into the mountains. So parts far below could be exposed to storm light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShara Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 But isn't it still basically inside a mountain? It'd be cool if Urithiru had a mechanism to infuse itself, but I'm not sure if there is a way for the mechanics to be possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The threads from that gemstone pillar seem to go all throughout Urithuru. If there are any exposed on the mountainside itself, but somehow protected, that could be a way to infuse the whole tower in one highstorm.

I mean, we do have to assume that stormlight can flow that way, but it's not a huge stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RShara Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Quote The scholars had discovered long chains and cages, apparently used for lowering spheres down into the storms, so they’d be able to renew their spheres—if the highstorms ever returned. In other parts of the world, the Weeping had restarted, then fitfully stopped. It might start again. Or the proper storms might start up. Nobody knew, and the Stormfather refused to enlighten him.
