I like your reason for him not becoming a skybreaker. Like many are saying maybe Nightblood will be able to choose his surges instead of having to adopt the way of the skybreaker. Though he does seem like a skybreaker shardblade, out to destroy evil. Plus Szeth already knows how to use the surge gravitation for what ever that's worth.

I am actually very curious who Tashi is because of what Darkness said. This thread isn't marked with spoilers so I'll tag this quote: Makes me think Tashi is not Taln. My personal pet theory is that Tashi is currently the god-king of Tukari. Who is probably a former Herald, probably the Herald Jezrien. (as I am in the camp of those heralds that stayed have all become the opposite of what they stood for. Ten Heralds now equal the Ten Fools)

It felt like the feruchemical ability of Connection we see in the Mistborn books. I like the idea that her Resonance is an ability we have somewhat seen other places in the cosmere. Similar to how various forms of lightweaving are seen throughout the cosmere. Maybe the Resonance is more of a passive ability like Connection, Fortune, Wakefulness, or something similar.

Like groundhogs day.

Who knows where that discussion is now, that might have been after WoK was released that I read that. A similar theory has it that all of the Heralds that stayed on Roshar, are now the opposite of what they were. The healer is now a murder (speculation that Vedel is one of the ardents helping King Taravangian kill people). Jezrien the former leader of the heralds, is now a slobbering gibbering drunk. Shallash who was the herald of art or what ever is now destroying all art with her face on it (and prob the assassian that Jesnah meets with).

That may help. I am a big fan of the theory that every herald (besides Taln) was at that Parshendi treaty signing feast.

Or, it was a worldhopper coming back to Scadrial via that shardpool. Perhaps a certain hunter. Or another SoScader that is coming home.

I like this one.

I'm very interested in who the worldhopper was in the Allomancer Jak story. The guy she fights uses the curse word "Shadows", refers to a place known as "Helmore", and has a weird runic gun that her chromium Leeching power was able to effect that shot a ghost(?) that rusted and disintegrated the metal around the gondola. Any thoughts on where this person could be from?

Here is a compiled together version of the broadsheet from BoM. http://i.imgur.com/R3JENFF.jpg Much easier to read this way.

When Wax is running through the tombs / museum there is a brief mention of the bands of mourning. "... , or other relics such as a replica of both Harmony's Bands and the Bands of Mourning" p.306 us Hardcover So we know the next book is titled Bands of Mourning. Are these they the lord rulers metal minds? I'm interested to see where this goes.

Thanks

Naw, that's just his Herald abilities. WoB says that Heralds without their blade still have other things going on for them. That's how they are all still alive even though only one is confirmed to have gone back for his blade.

I thought those were the first set of Parshendi getting their stormform. but after researching the quote: "Something was glowing on the plateau. Something that moved. It was hard to see, since water streamed off the side of the plateau above, falling in a sheet before their refuge. He swore he saw an enormous figure walking up there, a glowing inhuman form, followed by another, alien and sleek. Striding the storm. Leg after leg, until the glow passed." What I first assumed to be rank after rank of glowing parshendi, the first couple hundred that changed, seems to be two distinct lifeforms that are much bigger than a human or parshendi. Good find.

  Think about Adolin's fight with Eshoni. She was feeling the thrill, while he had just gone through the revulsion and know fought with out the thrill's influence. So something interesting is going on there. And many figure that because Dalinar had a similar happen to him that this is proof that Adolin will become a KR.
