  1. Notum said his great-grandmother created his grandfather, who created his father who created him. His great-grandmother was one of the 10 Honorspren the Stormfather created after the Recreance and (except for Syl) all living Honorspren can trace their ancestry to those 10. All the rest died when the Knights Radiant broke their oaths.
  2. One argument worth noting is that if Dalinar did do something unusual like reaching two ideals at once, it probably would be clear enough that we wouldn't be arguing about it. Though, this is fandom, so it's not a very strong argument.
  3. I'm not sure they could physically add more pages to OB. One of the things I like about Sanderson is that he ends his stories when he runs out of book. From the memory stone regarding the Windrunner's fourth ideal and the Skybreaker training it seems when there were extent orders of the KR, potential recruits don't have quite the same difficulties that Kal faced. Being first and alone is always the hardest.
  4. It could be that Cryptics derive from whatever Sja-anat was before she was Unmade. In the same way, the Midnight Mother might have been the progenitor of creation Spren?
  5. Speaking of Connection, that was what needed in the Secret History for the outlanders to pick up Preservation. It also happens to be one of the Bondsmith's particular powers. I'm going with Dalinar Connected with the splinters of Honor for a moment but if he ever gets (enough of?) them back together, they'll be a shard with the intent of Unity, which similar to but not the same as Honor (when it refers to the making and keeping of oaths).
  6. Could the unmade have been the Dawnshards? Other shards turned out to actually be spren, so why not the Dawnshards?
  7. Except Honor doesn't die until after the Recreance, which is way after the Fused started their shenanigans. We don't know enough about shard vs shard to say whether or not the Fused could be a factor in that kind of fight. Maybe they harried Honor's Cognitive aspects while Odium kept him busy. Or maybe shards tend to cancel each other out, so any additional sources of power can tip the balance.
  8. From what we hear from Vasher, Nightblood essentially ended the Manywar by being so terrible Vasher decided to sue for peace.
  9. There may be a difference in 1000 unrecoverable breaths and someone just holding on to 1000.
  10. Venli also managed to be a traitor to the Listeners, by seeking the old gods and then betraying the Fused by bonding a spren.
  11. Don't we have WOB that the Stormfather would have survived the Recreance if he'd been bonded? Though I think the Sibling was the one bonded during the Recreance. Which is why they're sleeping.
  12. 1. No plate tectonics? That's weird. It seems like the sort of thing that would have significant implications. Quick, someone cast "Summon Geologist" 2. I see that as an argument for it. He's introduced the concept of geography affecting magical constructs. That means the idea is available to create a different problem.
  13. Could Urithiru have been made uninhabitable due to an earthquake severing it's connection to the core gemheart and that's why so little works?
  14. From the Secret History, it seems one of the key parts of returning from the Cognitive realm is Connection, which seems to be strongly associated with Honor. Dalinar's language trick is a known use of Connection and it seemed to be part of his Unity CMOA. I think the relationships between the Shards and species on Roshar were really complicated, with loyalties and allegiances shifting back-and-forth. I'm hoping Szeth's flashbacks will shed light on the Shin's history which might be less interrupted than the pre-dominantly Vorin history we've had from now. I'm also hoping the flashbacks we were told would be Eshonai's will be more of a history of the Parsh. I think the Fused showed up in reaction to Human encroachment and signed up with Odium to help drive humans back. As they became increasingly unstable and genocidal, the Oathpact was formed.
  15. I just finished listening to the book. Bloody Bujolds that was painful. After the Dif reveal, I took a break to listen to Penric's Demon because I knew it was going to be bad. I did not expect it to be that bad. I knew I should have downloaded the other Penric books before work.
