Necromancer

So I remembered that Prof and Tia's daughter (from one of the alternate universes) was named Tavi. I remember Tavi being a character in a Jim Butcher series as well so I was curious if maybe it was a shout-out to Butcher by naming her that. I decided to Google: "Tavi name" Instead I was hit with the feels train. Tavi, it turns out, is commonly a nickname for David. So it appears they named a child after him.

Somehow I missed it in my first read-through, but Dalinar's description of Hoid's dueling sword sounds like Nightblood, and this was before the sword was offered to Szeth.

Remind me who Glys is please, I don't recall the name. Have we actually seen Renarin's spren? I think the future seeing being related to void bringers is just superstition, since the Truthseers are a verified order.

@HonorIsDead I actually forgot about Eshoni... I suppose she more or less is Odium's champion, but it's a bit complicated because she doesn't seem to have free will which. It's almost like Odium is using her as a tool. @KereDerek I agree completely. We haven't seen any of Kal's romantic past except the brief mention of a name. Tarah, I believe. She didn't even show up in his flashbacks. He certainly came to a complete flip of his opinion on Shallan in the chasms and she did admit he was handsome in his own way. @Rasarr True we haven't seen any jealously out of Adolin, but I think that's only because the book ended too soon after he finds out. With time, he may grow frustrated that he doesn't have their abilities. We seem to have different ideas on what the Sadeas moment means for his future. If he is found guilty, maybe Dalinar would cast him out and start the darker path?

Alright, like all my life choices, I haven't put much thought into this. My life is going poorly. Let's hope this pans out differently. First, why do I think Odium will have a champion? Answer: a single line spoken by the Stormfather, something about there being a chance of Odium picks a champion. I'm so unprepared that I don't even have the quote at hand (my Nook busted and I haven't bought a new one yet). Second, why will it be Adolin? Two reasons. The first is that he's currently in a position to be extremely envious. His brother is a radiant, his father is a radiant, even the dark eyed bridgeman is a radiant. Also, he gave into hatred when he murdered Sadeas in cold blood (not saying it's wrong or right, but it happened). Plus Kaladin and Shallan had that intimate moment in the chasms which I've read too much into and I believe it may lead to her developing stronger feeling for Kal. The second is Chekhov's gun, or Chekhov's contract in this case. In book one, Dalinar drew up a contract stating Adolin could take and keep power of the Kholin army and whatnot should he simply claim his father is too insane. Brandon is a good writer, I doubt he put this in to add word count. There you have it. Please go easy when dismantling this theory.

Just as possible, if not more likely. I just thought that because his thoughts were so calm and he was still able to soothe the soldiers around him. Almost as if his body was being controlled by a separate mind.

I believe when he curled up in the battle of Luthadel, Breeze's coherency yet inability to so much as move to run away was evidence that he is a savant. Perhaps all that soothing constantly occurring made him susceptible to trauma more easily or he was just emotionally detached, able to see the situation clearly through his break-down.

I agree with this idea, like how Spook had to flare tin for a year before he got his savant-type ability. Perhaps healing for so long with no breaks gives a lack of feeling any pain, but it would be really rare because you'd have to be born with the right combination of powers to heal continuously all the time.

I read that in pure disbelief. Then, I immediately re-read it wondered if I'd gone crazy. Came out of freakin' nowhere in the last few pages. My favorite moment though was Dalinar and his men fighting on the plateau after being abandoned by Sadeas. He sees the bridgemen put out a bridge against an entire army then he sees them fight. I don't recall the exact line, but it was something along the lines of: It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen. Really stuck with me for a long time and I stopped reading to think about it. damnation good moment.

You create the structure in minutes then spend hours building upon it. Fighting is like surgery...

Sorry for the bump here, but I did a quick search on Szeth + Gavilar before making my own thread about the sphere. I don't seem to remember the paragrapgh you quoted here, and I just re-read TWoK. I'll check again when I get home, but wow, that changes things. I was wondering if Mr. T would ever force Szeth to relinquish the sphere since Szeth's only two oaths were to not give up his life or his blade. Though I suppose Szeth is no longer bound by his Truthlessness, is he? What would they want with Amaram? He was just denounced by Dalinar and no longer has much power. I thought they were going to kill him out of anger at his actions.

Wow... now that's good thinking. Would the pants be able to move with enough force to move its wearers legs, without snapping them in half? Masterful craftsmanship may very well perform miracles! Good thinking.

This is a very interesting idea. I wonder, if true, does this mean Kaladin is a God with his own Holy army?

Don't mind me, just crying in the fetal position over here.
