Just throwing in my hat for Dustbringer!Adolin (hopefully)!

True. Maybe it's just my personal view on Adolin, but I just don't see him as a Edgedancer. Hence, the description I had of the Dustbringers earlier, is something he'd be reluctant to at first, but overtime gradually accept as something necessary he'd pledge his oaths to. Controlled anger. The man Dalinar will have to send out to due what is necessary, when all us fails. If only 17th Shard had a chance for a questionare with Brandon, although I have a feeling most of our questions would be RAFO'd.

Okay, I'll backdown on those parts. You guys have that. I wasn't saying his blade wasn't an Edgedancer Shardblade, I was saying that it in fact was an ED Shardblade and I assumed he discarded it after he murdered Sadeas. I'm still in the Adolin will become a Dustbringer boat. Well, hoping seeing that my entire lineup was wrong. Back to the old drawing board.

Where has this been stated?

I disagree with Adolin becoming an Edgedancer, even after my reread. It just doesn't add up in my opinion. Yes, he's friendly, lovable, charismatic, has a graceful style while he duels, and his Shardblade has vines when he summons it. But that doesn't equate to him becoming an Edgedancer, ESPECIALLY since he already has Lift as the Edgedancer whom he'll be dedicating a book to in the late series. It makes no sense for Brandon to dedicate two books to TWO Edgedancers. For what? As far as his Shardblade belonging to a Edgedancer, well, Adolin did discard his blade after he murdered Sadeas. The lost of his cherished blade, a long with the murder and the events to follow after the murder is what will break Adolin spiritually. He will guilt himself, for possibly setting his father plan back. He will probably isolate himself or maybe Dalinar will be force to exile his son. One quote stood out to me, that seems to line up with what a Dustbringer is even though we have little information about them from the epigraphs. A long with this quote... We have WoB that some orders would applaud the deed that Adolin has done, while some will frown upon it (Skybreakers and Windrunners. I have no clue why people he has a shot with the two) and when pressured, he nodded when someone asked if the Dustbringers will approve. The Dustbringers seem like an Order that will do what the others won't. To me, the Dustbringer seems like an Order that belives, ' The ends justify the means. ' They are an Order who the Heralds send out as a last resort. Leave no witnesses. Burn everything to the ground. If anyone reads The Dresden Files, I'd even line up the Dustbringers to the Ebenezar and the Black Staff. I don't have the exact quote, but I do remember Jim stating that there isn't a special election for it, all it'd take is for someone crazy enough to pick up the Staff, knowing exactly what the role entails. Someone BRAVE enough to do what no one else will, and someone OBEDIENT enough to Honor to not stray. The Dustbringers seem like an Order, who will have to do what is necessary, even though it's illegal in the eyes of the law ( Skybreakers ), and to protect ( Windrunners ) innocent from the Voidbringers, they will have to destroy with an extreme prejudice, and are the ones brave enough to stand tall (Stonewards) while doing the deed, while others will hesitate. We have 10 books, dedicated to 10 orders. Windrunner ( Kaladin ) Skybreaker ( Szeth ) Edgedancer ( Lift ) Bondsmith ( Dalinar ) Lightweaver ( Shallan ) Elsecaller ( Jasnah ) Truthwatcher ( Renarian ) Stonewards ( Taln/Not!Taln? ) Which only leaves to. Eshonai or maybe even Sebariel as a Willshaper (though I doubt the later), and Adolin who has my vote as Dustbringer.
