  1. Ahhh, but what if someone on Roshar bonds Kelsier and, through the bond, he manages to physically manifest himself a new body there!
  2. I think that the reason the Stormfather survived the Recreance is because he didn't form Shardblades or (and I'm assuming this happens when a KR gets to a certain level) Shardplate for his knights. Assuming the Stormfather is the one spren that all Bondsmiths bond (or whomever Dalinar ends up belonging to), I think that his knights weren't able to "abandon" him in the way that the knights in Dalinar's vision did. Since they weren't able to plunge him into the earth and shrug off their armor, he was able to survive.
  3. I think a big part of it was also that even though he swore to protect those who couldn't protect himself, he agreed to go along with the plot to kill Elhokar. I don't have the book handy, but at one point Kaladin mentions how, having made conflicting oaths, that maybe they are hampering his surgebinding abilities.
  4. I KNEW IT!!! Ahhh, this book, there's SO MUCH in it!
  5. I voted Shallan. Partly because it's her book and partly because she seems like she'll actually embody the ideals. Jasnah, as mentioned, is pretty dismissive of the label of Knights Radiant and, I believe, even shrugs off the Orders themselves as societal labels and nothing more. Shallan however is young, full of fire, and ready to take the next step.
  6. I'm assuming that, just as the relative magnificence of the Knights Radiant's plate/blades faded when they discarded them, so to would an honorblade not look as radical when being wielded by someone who is not a Herald.
  7. Yeah, that is absolutely what threw me off, thanks for finding that. EDIT: Just for relevance to the thread, I wouldn't be bummed if Szeth ended up dying at the end of WoR. He definitely deserves it (both because of his heinous actions and the fact that he's obviously in a lot of psychic pain committing those acts) and I think him passing away after some epic fight would be appropriate. Also, I know there's a WoB around that says magics from other books will be involved in the climax of WoR, and I'm kind of hoping it'll be Galladon, Demoux, and the 3rd traveler from the Purelake interlude throwing down some Aons and Allomancy.
  8. Ah ok, I must've just made the assumption however long ago and forget it wasn't fact.
  9. Not super related, but I thought the implication of doing a flashback book for a dead character was that Dalinar was going to die before his book came out? I don't have any quotes handy, but I always thought that's what he was referring to.
  10. If Szeth was a respected member of Shin society (I just don't remember reading that), it definitely wouldn't have been because of any warrior-type prowess. The interlude with the merchant makes it clear that even picking up a weapon immediately bumps you down to the lowest level of their society. My guess is that his great skill with the abilities came about when and immediately after he became Truthless. As we don't know how that happened, and I don't think we'll find out until book 3 (I think that's supposed to be Szeth's flashback book), we'll just have to keep guessing.
  11. Ah yeah. I guess we don't explicitly know they're called Stormspren, but I see the connection and it makes sense to me as well. I'm excited for more Listener POVs, because it seems like they're trying really hard to break their connection with Odium.
  12. Where does it say that stormform uses these lightning bolt spren? So far we just know that Syl has seen them in the distance and Eshonai attracted them once when she was angry.
  13. I'm pretty sure in WoK Dalinar said there wasn't any way they could be married, the Ardents wouldn't allow it.
  14. I came to the forums to see if anyone knew if we were getting more WoR today and I'm not disappointed. Now I just have to wait 38 minutes uuggghhhh
  15. Haha yes yes yes I read up through the Riftwar Legacy books and really enjoyed them, give them another go if you've the time.
