Thanks to Barnes and Noble, we've just had this STUNNING artwork from Oathbringer shared with us. I want to say it's Honor and Cultivation, but it could also be Ishar and Vivenna. Let the theorising begin!

Welp, didn't take long to get a WoB on this: Ishar & Ash on the front endsheets Jezrien & Vedel on the back ones

I cant believe Jezrien lets her out of the house dressed like that..

I just asked Barnes & Nobles, and they said that the endpapers have pictures of 4 Heralds.

Its the Desolation Paparazzi who stalked the Heralds all those years ago. The Heralds grew sick and tired of it, and broke the Oathpact. The paparazzi then went after the Radiants instead, and thus caused the Recreance. The Skybreakers remained because they knew how to sue the paparazzi and thus earned money from them.

From Brandon on Reddit:

The Shin appearance along with the notable interaction with stone (the pillars spiking to meet her feet) of the yellow spren in the latest Kaladin chapter made me think about a possible connection to the spirits of the stones mentioned by Szeth. On Roshar I think it's somewhat safe to assume that spirit=spren. Szeth thinks to himself that the spirits of the stones themselves promised he was truthless, so we know that whatever they are, they are sapient, and they have authority. Outsiders like Rysn think that there are no spren in Shinovar, because when they visit, the smaller, regular spren are missing from the landscape. But a sapient spren, like the yellow lady, is on another level and may have the ability to appear where smaller spren may not. From Edgedancer we know that So the idea is basically this: A group of larger voidspren hides in Shinovar after the last desolation, the last place you'd expect to find spren. They advise and guide the Shin, and the result is stone shamanism. The Everstorm is summoned and Odium needs helpers to guide his would be army and handle logistics. The yellow spren we see is one of these spren. I'd hazard a guess that once the desolation is up and running these guys can get all kinds of nasty, maybe by animating stone or by bonding with a listener. For now they're playing the waiting game. We'll see. What this could explain: The Shin look: She and the other 'spirits' would have been influenced by the perceptions of the Shin for the past couple millennia. Why she is sapient without a bond: She's been around Roshar, probably in the PR, since the last desolation. Hence her smug remark that she's a tad older than a month. We don't know what that amount of time in the PR coupled with probable periodic human interaction does to a spren, but I think this could be the reason for her sapience without an apparent bond. Her odd interactions with stone: We think there is a connection between odium and stone, what with all the thunderclasts, and I think that this spren plays into the same aesthetic. That they are, as a result, called spirits of the stones is not surprising. Problems with the theory: Why can the spren speak perfect Alethi? Yeah, she's old, but languages change all the time, and pretty quickly too. Maybe it's a Connection thing that spren have when in a certain region in the PR, but that feels iffy to me and it bothers me. How many spirits of the stones are there? On a continent as big as Roshar, there would have to be a lot of these spren, or they'd be spread pretty thin. We hear of other spren, presumably smaller, who bring more listeners to the central group, that could be unimportant enough to not qualify as a proper spirits of the stones, but overall I think there should only be a relatively limited number left from the last desolation, instead of thousands of hard to hide, odd spren buzzing around in Shinovar. Overall though, I think there's a pretty decent chance that the odd yellow spren is a voidspren from way back when, that has been hiding out in Shinovar and pulling on some strings attached to shamans.

Okay, here's what I'm basing this theory on. First, from what I understand, we know that Hoid was present, at the Shattering of Adonalsium. Next, we know that Hoid was offered a Shard, and refused to take it. (please note that this is my personal understanding, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Now, here's my evidence. This all comes from the chapter heading of Part 4 of WoR. These chapter headings are a letter from Frost to Hoid, in reply to Hoid's letter to Frost, through the chapter headings of one of the parts of TWoK. Here are my quotes: "Is not the destruction we have wrought enough? The worlds you now tread bear the touch and design of Adonalsium. Our interference so far has brought nothing but pain." (Chapter 66, "Stormblessings") This seems to me to be Frost expressing grief over causing the Shattering of Adonalsium. Because what else would happen if your God was killed, than chaos? "However, it seems to me that all things have been set up for a purpose, and if we--as infants-- stumble through the workshop, we risk exacerbating, not preventing, a problem." (Chapter 68, "Bridges") This, to me, seems to imply that they countered Adonalsium's diving design, in shattering him. "He bears the weight of God's own diving hatred, separated from the virtues that gave it context. He is what we made him to be, old friend. And that is what he, unfortunately, wished to become. (Chapter 71, "Vigil") This I think, is the most telling of the quotes. "He is what we made him to be..." How else would they have made Rayse full of hatred, than Shattering Adonalsium, and giving him the Shard of Odium? You, however, have never been a force for equilibrium. You tow chaos behind you like a corpse dragged by one leg through the snow. Please, hearken to my plea. Leave that place and join me in my oath of nonintervention. (Chapter 74, "Striding the Storm") Let me refer back to the first quote, "Our interference has brought nothing but pain." Although this could be referring in general, to Hoid's interference in important events, but based on the context and the other quotes, I'm going to go with he sowed chaos by Shattering Adonalsium. More Implications: If Hoid directly shattered Adonalsium, with the help of Frost, and neither of them received a Shard (I'm assuming Frost isn't a Shard), then it was in order to prevent some terrible thing from happening, not to grow in power. (Although I'm sure that those who helped him had that as at least a secondary motive.) Conclusion: Hoid shattered Adonalsium, with the help of Frost.

Here's with higher resolution: Ishar Shalash

I think it's Ishar and Shalash.

It seems that Syl is unfamiliar with the yellow spren. She also may not have any intuitive feeling about them. The inception of the idea that the yellow spren are Voidspren actually seems to come from Kaladin. At least, the idea isn't given to him by Syl, as an intuition or memory of hers. Syl is not necessarily detecting or describing anything about the other spren - she may simply be deducing that these "must be" Voidspren as Kaladin is, or accepting his deduction as correct. The fact that she calls it "that other spren" implies that it is a type Syl is encountering for the first time. With the Cryptics, Syl remembered their name and something of their nature even before encountering Pattern in the Physical Realm. She also exhibited a strong feeling regarding them right away. When she first saw Pattern she could identify what type of spren he was, then remembered more about Cryptics' nature afterwards. If she remembers that much about Cryptics from having known them in the Cognitive Realm, I think she would remember something about the yellow spren if she had known them. And she almost certainly would have told Kaladin right off the bat what kind of spren they are if she knew. Some of Syl's intuitions seem to be pre-conscious emotional memories from her time in the Cognitive Realm. Those memories first manifest as immediate, visceral reactions to things she encounters in the Physical Realm, that she can't explain at first. The exact judgment she makes of Cryptics seems to confirm this. Syl calls Cryptics: This fits the biases and opinions she would have developed living as an Honorspren interacting with Cryptics in the CR. Honorspren and Liespren are contrary, and are in a complex conflict according to Jasnah, but have also fought against Odium together with their respective orders of KR. Likewise, Syl knew in the CR that most Shardblades are dead spren, and even before she remembers this in the PR, she has an immediate visceral reaction against Shardblades. With the yellow spren, she doesn't seem to exhibit an immediate visceral reaction. For the first while after encountering the yellow spren, she just seems to just be hiding her nature from an unfamiliar higher spren. The timing of her later fearful reaction implies that she may be reacting in that moment to the idea that this "must be" a Voidspren. Syl also has intuitions about things she hasn't encountered before, like when she first sees the red spren. The contrast in her reactions to red spren and the yellow spren highlights the issue: With the red spren, Syl expresses an intuition about them right away, as being "dangerous." With the yellow spren, she doesn't express or show any immediate feelings towards them except caution and maybe suspicion - and as Syl is cautious and suspicious with Pattern, suspicion from Syl towards another spren does not equal that spren being of Odium. Maybe Syl did have an intuition of her own regarding the yellow spren, and Kaladin just beat her to the punch in expressing it because they couldn't talk much. Can't know that for certain though, and at the least the contrast highlights how Syl didn't express an intuition of her own regarding the yellow spren. The yellow spren may still be Voidspren. Maybe that is why Syl is unfamiliar with them. But I don't think anything has said about them can be taken as an indication of their nature.

I personally think that there were three non-herald Bondsmiths. While Brandon considers them members of their order, I don't believe that the Radiants themselves would see them as a member of their ranks, but as someone set above them. As to this portion, we know it to be untrue. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/4r6ds5/oathbringer_spoilers_stormlight_three_update_3/d69n5a5/?context=3 This WoB also lends credence to the Heralds being separate, as Ishar would not have been bonded to a spren.

Selfie: Those of you in Discord will be more familiar with this one: And a bathroom selfie from last year: EDIT: Oh, I guess I should include a Brandon photo too. Just one. For now.

Are.. Are we seriously debating the motivations of a character who we haven't seen speak, and who we barely have a physical description of? I mean, for now, I believe she's a part of the Diagram, and this has nothing to do with her. It's all about how we've seen the Diagram work in the past with Graves and his cross purposes to Taravangian. The Diagramists are not a perfectly cohesive group. Malata herself? She's done nothing so far. Trying to say she can or can't be a Diagramist, or surgebinder, or anything else... Is a bit early.

Doctor Who has some great quotes. The most recent episode had this gem:

no my friend , Divinity

I just stumbled across this, and feel the need to share it somewhere.

17th Shard - always delivers

Windbreakers.

Hey! just wanted to let everyone know I exist! I would also like to say that despite having read Sanderson for a number of years, and knowing that the Cosmere existed, it's only been in the last few months that I've really dug deep into the lore of this wonderful universe, thus I'm not up to date as of yet, so If you see one of my posts, feel free to comment and tell me that my information is outdated at best, and possibly totally made up .

Nothing is always more useful than something. No. Yes. I have perish'd in the impenetrable forests at the hands of gargantuan black bear; you are currently communicating with my shade, and apparently, owe him two denari for another crossing back into Hades after having so inhumanely dragged him back from the meadows of asphodel.

Short explanation for bad day: Today, I found out that my name was given to a debt collector. Not only is the reason for it an utter lie (Comcast is terrible, by the way), but I was never even warned in the first place. Longer explanation: a few months ago, one of my roommates moved out. She was in charge of the internet. We switched it over into my name, and a week later, when Xfinity was stupid again, I scheduled a Google Fiber installation for the following week. Once that was installed, I called Comcast and cancelled. I'd already looked online and known that it's really hard to cancel services with Comcast, because their customer service reps are trained not to let people cancel unless the person is moving out of the country or they're dead. So I lied and said I was moving out of the country (to New Zealand to be specific. I even had a story lined up and everything, if they asked me. It was a very well-thought-out lie). The rep was super nice and cancelled it without a problem and wished me luck on my move, and also issued a reimbursement for my last payment, since I was cancelling asap, and therefore, I'd overpaid. He told me everything I needed to gather, and where I needed to drop it off. I gathered everything up, put it all in a box, took a few pictures, and drove over to the Comcast store. Waited over 30 minutes since they were freaking busy, and finally turned it in. Did not take a picture at the counter, because I didn't have a good chance to, but I got a receipt for it. I left, thinking I was all done. The rep on the phone had been nice. I thought I'd escaped Comcast unscathed. I was wrong. I never did receive the reimbursement, for one. But two, I got an email this morning from a collections agency, telling me that I had unreturned equipment from Comcast. It only totals $80, and that's on the pretty low end for Comcast unreturned equipment, but still. It's supposedly two $40 mini cable boxes. We had one in the apartment, which I returned (and the rep never even said I had to return that one, and he definitely didn't mention three of them). What I think happened is that Comcast saw that it's a three story townhouse and put it down as three cable boxes - one for each floor - but never actually installed all three, because they couldn't. My apartment doesn't have the right wiring between the floors for it/the wiring would take a hella long time to figure out, since it's daisy-chained between the floors (the Google Fiber guy explained this to me when he was installing Fiber, since I would've liked to get ethernet in my room in the bsaement, but it would've taken him hours to only possibly figure it out, due to how stupidly the wiring was done). So I'm pretty sure Comcast either unintentionally or intentionally put 3 of these in their installation for us and since I only returned one, they're showing the other two as unreturned. But they never even tried to contact me about it. No mail, no email. No nothing. Until this morning. From a freaking debt collector. Who is now calling me and getting blocked, thanks to my spam-blocker app. And I really don't want to pay them for something we didn't have, but I also really don't want my credit messed with because my credit score is excellent and I've worked hard to get it this good. I know there are potential legal routes I can take, but I also don't have the money for a lawyer. I freaking hate Comcast right now.

And this is just the first two pages of the inside cover oh my God it's beautiful this book is going to be absolutely amazing so much art.

He must be too drunk to know what's going on.

It's because of Vasher and an ambiguous answer from Brandon about her. I share your confusion why so many people are confident she'll have a part to play or we'll even see her.

Actually the first quote kind of sounds like Hoid and Frost may have created Adonalsium. "Is not the destruction we have wrought enough? The worlds you now tread bear the touch and design of Adonalsium. Our interference so far has brought nothing but pain." (Chapter 66, "Stormblessings")

Kelek and Jezrien were in the Prologue of WOK, where they abandoned their Honorblades. Nale is "Darkness", who has been tracking down surgebinders. Most assume that it was Kelek with him the night Gavilar was assassinated. I believe it has been confirmed that Palliah was the ardent seen in the library in Karbranth. Shalash is Baxil's Mistress.

Ok, I asked again, and I was told that one was definitely Jezrien and the other was probably Shallash.

That WoB actually shows both options. With humans, it has to be indirect through the Unmade, but the listener bond with the Spren allows for direct control via the Spren itself.

How to win friends and influence people... with a Shardblade. Slightly off-topic, but with the return of Amaram... here's a thought: if he could undermine Kaladin it would help his reputation in return. And Kaladin just happened to suspiciously leave Urithiru just after Sadeas was killed to "spend more time with his family". And of course Kaladin is no fan of Sadeas and this should be fairly obvious. So, might Amaram try to frame Kaladin?

Hello all. I am amflare, denizen of Science Fiction and Fantasy on the Stack Exchange network. Unfortunately we don't have a large cosmere fan base there, so I'm making my way here to check you guys out. On a scale of 1 (what's a cosmere) to 10 (Brandon Sanderson is my pseudonym), I'd put myself around a 6-7. Most of my knowledge is in Mistborn, with a decent familiarity in Stormlight and Warbreaker. Elantris not so much, and I read White Sands for the first time today. I look forward to many long and questionably fruitful discussions here!

I have no idea why in the world everyone sees her as suspicious, if you were meeting with the head of a construction project or something, and the head worker was in the room, not getting in your way, staying against the wall, in practical clothing and work gloves, smiling, that's not suspicious, that's called someone being cheery or happy. You don't assume they are hiding something because they are smiling, you assume they are having a good day or were told a joke or something. To summarize the Distbringer so far, she has stayed in the back while two really important people talked while smiling FOR ANY NUMBER OF REASONS. Only ONE person seems to find her suspicious and he made that choice based not off some choice she made that made her appear suspicious but based on pretty much pure instinct. Boyond this, what could she have done? Not smiled? How in the world does that make a difference? This entire discussion is about how someone someone isn't a member of a group because SHE SMILES.

What a goatee.

Why include her in the Diagram at all? Why not simply manipulate her? You do not want members that arise suspicion less someone decides to investigate and ruin your plans. Just like a good assassin won't stand out, a semi decent member of a secret organization shouldn't make people who just met her wonder what she's hiding. So in my opinion the fact she creates a feeling of distrust towards her and her motives excludes her from being one of Vargo's initiated diagramists. I think her behavior and the suspicion from other characters will end up a red herring.

Now this is the kind of quality content I like to procrastinate important work with.

hmmm not sure how active i can be , but since you are 4 players sort i think i'll join as manukosokunam

“I can give you the whole bunker,” the merchant said. “Was supposed to be renting it to some caravans out of Revolar, but they didn’t show.” “What happened?” “Don’t know,” he said. “But it’s storming strange, I’d say. Three caravans, with different masters and goods, all gone silent. Not even a runner to give me word. Glad I took ten percent up front.” Might this indicate that the yellow spren orchestrated the death of the three caravans, to ensure that the stormbunker would be available for kaladin and the parshmen.

You should make this a poll, to have more polls.

Several people from college have asked me about fantasy books recommendations, I feel like I am finally getting a reputation.

Seems like Dalinar finds her somewhat... Abrasive.

It seems this week is Kaladin's turn to be in the "Odium's Champion" hot seat, previously occupied by Renarin and Adolin. I'm sure Dalinar, Shallan, Jasnah, Szeth, Eshonai, and a number of others will have their turn. Personally, I don't think any of these will be Odium's Champion. I feel like it is not a human or a Listener. Maybe it's a spren, unmade, or some other supernatural entity. As for Kaladin hanging out with the parshmen and voidspren (if that's what he/she is), it seems he is on an information gathering session to figure out what the heck is going on. I don't think there is anything more nefarious going on than that, and I don't expect him to fall for some voidspren trap. He and Syl are playing dumb in the hopes to learn more about where everyone is headed and what they plan to do there. Somebody needs to do it and he is the only one in the position to interact with the parshmen right now. Hopefully he'll wrap up his spying mission soon and report his findings back to Dalinar. The sooner everyone knows what's up with the parshmen, the better chance they can prevent a massive voidbinding of the entire species. My hope is that Kaladin can bring Rlain in to help these parshmen. They need someone they can trust to teach them how to care for themselves and how to bond regular Listener spren rather than voidspren. Maybe Eshonai will also factor into this. @WhiteLeeopard I had the same thought that Tezim sounded like Masema. Made me grin when I read it.

Hi!My name is Dmitrii Kretov and I tried to be part of fan society couple of years ago by registering as fan of Stephen King,Terry Pratchett and Once upon a time-no result.I have read almost all and other few in contents in Wikipedia books of authors of Legends,Legends 2-Wheel of time all books,some partly.

This. I think there is something big that we have been missing. Take the following theory as mainly speculation fueled by too much coffee, but here goes: Dalinar remembering Evi has nothing to do with Stormlight healing or a change in the specifics of what he asked for, it is a direct result of something Odium is doing. First, the point about Stormlight healing being the cause: From Oathbringer Chapter 24: This to me rules out Stormlight healing. That is an aspect of the bond that Dalinar has with the Stormfather. Now it is possible that the Stormfather has it wrong, but in the lack of anything else, I'm willing to take his word for it that the bond is not causing Dalinar's memories to return, at least until we know more. As to the Nightwatcher suddenly changing the Boon/Curse, or the specifics of what Dalinar asked for changing, as Navani points out this has never happened before: Oathbringer Chapter 24: Once again, to say something has never happened is not to say it never will, but in the lack of any other evidence, this is at least predictive. Lastly, there is this: Oathbringer Back cover: Many have speculated that the King is Dalinar. Putting this together, I would argue that his memories of Evi are something that is better left forgotten. Indeed, they might contain the catalyst for breaking the Radiants again. Now who would want this? Odium, and he knows about Dalinar. What is more, he is a Shard. He probably has the power to undo what the Nightwatcher did. From Oathbringer Chapter 4: What is more, there seems to be something wrong in Urithiru right now... Unmade, or Odium? In either case, there seems to be some power that is actively trying to derail the city. Bringing back Dalinar's memories and using them to break him would do a lot for that. TL;DR: Dalinar's memories returning are a result of Odium's influence.

Well, it isn't my theory it's just one I've seen thrown around as a potential a lot. But there are a couple things. First, his goal isn't just to save Roshar from Odium, it's very specifically to unite Roshar ("you must become king of everything"). He's following Gavliar's mandate to "unite them", which we know Gavilar was having the visions from the Stormfather before Dalinar was. So his goal isn't just the same from the high view, it's exactly the same goal. He inherited it from Gavilar who is confirmed to have been on the path to becoming a Bondsmith. Second, the Bondsmith spren are unique. That is to say, they are all different from each other. The spren of the other orders are (as Syl put it) essentially the same individual, there's very little difference between one honorspren and another. But there is only one Stormfather. We know there are meant to be exactly 3 Bondsmiths so 3 Bondsmith spren, so it makes sense to assume their spren will have very different views from each other on what can count as uniting. There is some speculation that the Nightwatcher might be one of the Bondsmith spren (if for no other reason than she's the only other spren as powerful as the Stormfather that we know about so far), and Taravangian is pretty strongly tied to her. She's essentially the cause of the Diagram. She very well may have given him his curse/boon just so that he would create the Diagram in order to unite Roshar against the Desolation. So if Taravangian is going to be a Radiant at all, it's almost certainly Bondsmith. 1. People are saying she's suspicious and therefore wouldn't be allowed into a secret society, and they are saying this in reference to the Diagram. As in, her being with Taravangian can't be why she's suspicious for any reason other than meta knowledge. This has nothing to do with her behavior and doesn't add any evidence that Taravangian wouldn't allow her to be in on the Diagram because she's, what, with him? 2. That's reading an awful lot into Dalinar saying he doesn't like how she smiles. Remember, this is from his point of view. He's the only one who's noted anything odd about her behavior and we've seen her extremely briefly. Take a step back away from Dalinar's mind and view the scenes again. She's just smiling and looking at a mural. Just because Dalinar doesn't like it doesn't make it creepy, doesn't mean she holds some secret knowledge or agenda, and it doesn't make her suspicious. Dalinar himself didn't say anything more than he doesn't like it, we don't even know why he doesn't like it. But I'm not arguing Dalinar doesn't find her suspicious, I'm saying I disagree with his reasoning. 3. Again, people are saying that she's suspicious and therefore can't be in on the Diagram. Taravangian can't be the one making her suspicious if her suspiciousness is cause for him not including her. 4. Think I covered most of this already. Dalinar's view is Dalinar's view. Why should it be the reader's view? It isn't mine. You just said yourself Dalinar isn't a terribly great judge of character. He trusts Taravangian, one of the least trustworthy people we know of. He can be wrong. 5. And Edgedancers were historically graceful and elegant. Then there's Lift. I judge a person based on that person alone. And literally the only things I know about Malata so far is that she smiles a lot and she claims to be a Dustbringer. I know nothing else about her. Also, Dalinar doesn't know that. Shallan might, but we haven't heard her opinion of Malata yet. I will say that her being with Taravangian does obviously make her suspicious, but it's also beside the point. If Taravangian's connection is what makes her suspicious, it's only to the reader who has meta knowledge of the story and nothing at all to do with what we've actually seen from her, and it can't be cause for her not being included in his secret society because then no one would be. A little odd if the head of a secret society won't let you in because you're associated with them. So the only suspiciousness we can see is irrelevant to the discussion and would apply to literally anyone who arrived with Taravangian (except Jasnah I guess). But everyone's saying she's acting suspicious. What specifically about her behavior is suspicious? The only thing there is is her smiling. People smile. Or is it the way she was looking at a Dustbringer mural? I don't get it. In my opinion, people are reading what isn't written.

I would do unspeakable things.

Feruchemy is much more suitable for modern day IMO. Being able to control my temperature and store speed is it's selling point for me. Coinshots would have a heck of a hard time leaping around cause of power lines etc. It'd also be really hard would it be to find the correct alloy percentages. Aon'dor would be really weak on earth. With awakening you won't exactly be able to collect breaths... Surgebinding... Not possible. No spheres on earth. Unless you have alternate ways of getting stormlight. You'd get odd looks as a dakhor monk. Hemulurgy would also give you odd looks. Nothing wrong about shardbearing (except the armor problems) Conclusion: Feruchemy is da best

Some fun stuff in this week's chapters. Mraize has an aviar. It's gotta be an aviar. I wonder what it does, though? I'll need to check if its description matches either of the aviar powers we've seen. Mraize refers to the "listeners." No humans call them that - they call them parshmen or Parshendi. I take that as further evidence he's an offworlder, although it could mean he's just ancient. This short glimpse into the Ghostblood's motives, of playing both sides against one another, makes me think of Hoid's earlier statement that he would let this world burn to get what he wanted. What are the Ghostbloods up to? The mystery of Urithiru is something that a lot of people had caught on to, so it's nice to have something out in the open. I think that it will tie in with the murders, like we discussed a few weeks ago, either something about the city or a murderous spren. Man, I just can't get it out of my head that this Voidspren isn't a Voidspren. Syl has been hiding, so she hasn't actually interacted with her. And everything she does... well, if we hadn't been told she was a Voidspren, I wouldn't have thought she was one. She definitely knows Kaladin is a Radiant, why he can sense the storms. And the emphasis on stone in her manner of movement makes me think she's a cousin to something like a stonespren, the same way Syl is cousin to windspren. So, I'm holding out for a reveal that this spren is actually a Radiant spren, but returning back to the listeners instead of bonding Radiants. (Still holding a grudge over the Recreance.) The eyes on the Voidspren are interesting, in that they aren't typical Rosharan eyes. They're like Shin eyes... but the Shin don't have spren, so she can't be a Shin spren. I guess it's because she's a Splinter of Odium, so she (and other Voidspren) are driven by Rayse's perception of humanity. Dalinar wonders why he's healing. We've all been there, bro. Nice to get a Dustbringer. There would have to be a lot going on behind the scenes for her to have an Honorblade, and she is from Vedenar (not Kharbranth), so I think she's for real, not a trick of Taravangian's. Let's see some Division action! More Surges!
