  1. The more and more I read - I have a hunch that the splintering of Honor was not a defeat, but a stratagem. He was prepared, he send a visions, he left his shadow and he did not sound desperate or defeatist in the Dalinar visions. So after some of the events Cultivation reforging Honor with the Stormfather at its core is something that would not surprise me a lot.
  2. A run of the mill child abuse could be explanation enough. It is not out of character for the father and with the mother deeply connected into some secret societies she could either not care or even encourage. Her father was way too calm in the red carpet scene. So it was not the event that turned him to go crazy.
  3. Nobody summoned their shardblade, Sadeas was trained and accomplished warrior and it was a fair fight. I think of it more of like BS getting rid of potential Padan Fain/Prophet (a character that is hard to get rid of and serves no purpose) down the road instead of some major character development point for Adolin.
  4. Just a random phrase that caught my attention. “You happy,” Adolin said, laughing. “You’ve got a face like a storm! I half think you could frighten off a storm.” It could be a distant foreshadowing about Kaladin -> Fleet.
  5. When Shallan was breaking into the monastery Yatil said something that sounded disturbingly like Gollum in Lord of the rings when she tries to immitate madness. “Should we kill them?” she muttered. “No. No, we shouldn’t. But someone will see! No, do not say these things. No. I will not listen to you.” I haven't read LoTR in english but I do remember something like that in the scenes with Gollum.
  6. I need to only turn a few milligrams of your blood to super coagulator(snake venom) to make you have fun times in the afterlife. Shallan had 6 liters. That is a lot of blood.
  7. Jasnah soulcasted Shallan's blood. That is low cost insta kill. All the fun things that it could be used at - soulcast the food as poison in the stomach or just create an air bubble in the bloodstream. With the bandits she was showing off and not trying for best efficiency.
  8. A dirty bomb theory. Dirty bomb is when you create a nuke so that it taints for a long time the earth and sea. We have few contradictory things about the last desolation. It was a bad one. A new stratagem. 9 out of 10 heralds survived. So it is either a miracle or something else. So my theory goes like this: Before the last battle our side are desperate and they employ some new stratagem - a dirty bomb of a kind that messes with the laws of the cosmere itself by the bondsmiths. Short term effects are that the enemy is severely weakened, and the abnormally low casualties ensure. Medium term effects of that event is the Recreance and the breaking of the oathpact and the tainting of all the bonds. Maybe the KR were acting in self preservation. Maybe the deed was so dishonorable that it made keeping any oaths impossible. So the Recreance had more to do with what won the last desolation and not the breaking of the pact.
