  1. Or she could be with an Envisager. She noticed Shallan's powers and tried to kill her to push her over the edge to become a Radiant.
  2. There is not enough detail to determine if it was indeed Iyatil. All the description stated was that the assassin was wearing a "half mask".
  3. Toaster Retribution and Calderis, I don't think you guys are going to convince each other to either of your sides haha. But I am siding with Calderis on this. As he mentioned, Amaram knows that he is doing what he shouldn't, at least subconsciously which would stop him from becoming a Radiant. That's exactly what happened with Kaladin and losing his powers. Even though he convinced himself that what he was doing was right when assisting in elhokar's assassination, deep down he knew it was wrong. I believe Amaram is in a similar situation where he has also convinced himself that what he is doing is right but deep down, he knows its wrong.
  4. That's exactly it. I believe that the secret does indeed undermine his goals.
  5. That's not what I meant. Its not that he is wrong about the way his going about it but the prize itself is a delusion. I mean he still believes that honor is still alive and that light eyes are above dark eyes (or at least closer to honor): "The man was enormous, as tall as Amaram but built like a wall. The dark brown skin had surprised him the first time he’d seen the man—Amaram had, somewhat foolishly, expected that all of the Heralds would look Alethi. The Herald’s dark eyes were, of course, some kind of disguise." Unless Amaram comes to realize that everything he did was for nothing and may have possibly caused the destruction of the world, he will never become a Radiant.
  6. I kind of agree and disagree. In all honesty, I do not believe Taravangian can become a Radiant because he knows what made all the Knights break their oaths. That knowledge is what will keep him from becoming a Radiant (if he didn't have that information, I would agree that there could be a small possibility for this). Amaram on the other hand seems deluded. From all the orders we have seen so far, all of the knights have been pretty self aware. Only way I can see Amaram possibly becoming a Knight is if he realizes that his actions so far (not the betrayal of Kaladin, but the actions that brought the desolation) have been wrong. So yes, I agree that anyone can still be a Radiant but Amaram and Taravangian will most likely never join the order.
  7. I dont think that the number of Radiants from one family really matters. Brandon has hinted that the shardblades can be revived and the only one who has treated a shardblade as a living entity (before the secret to shardblades is revealed at the end of WoR) is Adolin. If shardblades can be revived, then Adolin is definitely going to be a Radiant.
  8. Also, dead shardblades require a gemstone to be summoned. I believe the oaths were not broken until they disarmed themselves.
  9. But out of all of the house Kholin, Adolin is the most likely person to be a Radiant. In the way of kings, Syl mentioned that the spren could be revived if their owners were still alive. I agree with the people who believe Adolin is the most likely person to be able to do this. Also, theres the fact that Jasnah deployed an assassin and has killed many times (ghost bloods also add onto that) and is still a Radiant. Not all orders follow the honorable method of Bondsmiths/Windrunners. There are also orders like the skybreakers that follow blind justice and Elsecallers who are more practical.
  10. No, I do not believe Shallan's mother was with the skybreakers. If anything, her mother's friend may have been an Envisagers, which would explain why Shallan's mother tried to kill her.
  11. Just because Iyatil isn't from Roshar doesn't mean she cant be Inadara. don't forget, there are other world hoppers who have an identity as someone from Roshar. But even if Iyatil isnt Inadara, I still feel there's a connection. If Inadara isn't Iyatil, she may still be a ghostblood.
  12. There is no reference in the books directly linking the two but I got a feeling that these might be the same person. Am I alone in this?
  13. I always assumed that Shallan;s surgebinding powers were noticed by her mother which lead to her trying to kill Shallan. In The Way of Kings, Syl mentioned that she followed Kaladin before Amaram's betrayal, though their bond was not as strong back then. I was under the impression that Shallan summoned the shardblade for the first time when she killed her mother.
  14. I can understand that but then how were Parshmen originaly created? well, perhaps brandon will enlighten us on that topic within the next few books, though he may wait till the 2nd quintet(maybe Jasnah's book?).
  15. Yea, I left that out because i thought it was too obvious. I actualy went back to check on that;She saw Gavilar talking to Amaram. Though she did spot Nale speaking with someone, Im not certain who that was. I suspect that "my lord" refers to Jezrien. "That creature carries my lord's own blade" would then refer to Szeth and the honorblade he carries. "we werent supposed to get worse. Am I getting worse?" shows that he is probably a herald. for my hypothesis to be correct, he cannot be Jezrien nor Nale. He also cannot be Talenel because he did not appear until the end of WoK. So this man can only be Kalak or Ishar. Ishar is suppose to be an old man, and not as...winey as this man seems to be. So with the process of elemination, this man can only be Kalak. Also, he does sound similar to kalak from WoK.
  16. from what i got out of it, everyone in hearthstone should still be alive. most likely, no one will recognise Kaladin, and he will probably not give out his name right away. and regarding peoples claims about every single character plausibly becoming a knight radiant, I dont think brandon intends to make any new radiant from the pool of people we already know. If there are additional radiants, they will be people we have yet to meet. (with the exception of Adolin, cant be sure about that guy)
  17. I disagree, the diagram was created years ago. Taravangian was super smart and able to predict the future quite well, but there are too many variables and so as time progresses, the diagram will become less and less accurate. Exhibit A- when Taravangian was the smartest, he could accurately predict how people would react to him. The day when he drafted that law, he was not smart enough to predict the people's response. Exhibit B- Regarding Azir, no one likes anarchy, after a while the people would make Taravangian Prime just for peace and stability. Regarding the timing, it is perfect. He has already brougth two nations under him, and when everyone realizes that the desolation is real; without their leaders they will panic, giving Taravangian the perfect chance to settle and unite all of Roshar. Exhibit C- Taravangian COULD predict people when he is smart enough. His prediction was off slightly regarding the number because of how long ago the diagram was written. This is a problem with all tactical plans, the longer they are in effect the more skewed they become and the more improvisation is required.
  18. Granted, but he will do nothing but insult your intelligence. I wish to meet Lightsong.
  19. I wanted a post about small things that a reader may miss in the first read through that may have some effects in the future books. Please add on any that I probably have missed. Urithiru - In one of Dalinar's visions, a spren awakens stone to fight a Radiant and her men. I hypothesise that any stone can be used in this way except the stones in Urithiru. This probably is why Szeth's people look down apon "stone walkers". Parshendi - It is obvious that there are some surviving parshendi who did not bond with the red spren. They may ally with Dalinar, considering that he may have the power to change the voidbringers back into parshendi. Rlain - I was curious as to what part Rlain would play within the Knights Radiant, and I cannot be certain if this pertains to Rlain or not, it is a likely outcome. I will add more later on, but please let me know of any other detail you believe may have a considerable impact on future books.
  20. I agree that it is suppose to symbolize Dalinar and Kaladin, but i dont think it depicts any scenario in the book. For one thing, kaladin wouldnt have any problems hiding from his position relevant to where dalinar took out the archers. another is that neither the bridgemen nor the armies are present, though i do understand that they may have been ommited to bring the focus on to the two characters. Dalinar's cloak has both the wrong symbol as well as the wrong color, and oathbringer is in an incorrect shape. "Six feet long from tip to hilt. Long and slightly curved. A handspan wide. Wavelike serrations near the hilt. Curved at the tip like a fisherman's hook" (stormlight archive wiki, i was too lazy to find the description within the book.) also, on the cover, there is a storm brewing whcih ofcourse does not depict any scene but it may be a forshadow of what is to come.
  21. Parshendi cannot be knight radiants. Though from the way words of radiance ended, I feel Eshonai is still alive. She will probably some how be freed from the voidspren and fight agianst odium. and dont forget, there were some parshendi who escaped without changing into the new form. These parshendi may be the ones who rescue Eshonai after her fall.
  22. My favorite characters in descending order per category. Females: Jasnah Lift Eshonai Navani Males: Dalinar Wit The Lopen Kaladin Spren: Sylphrena Stick Nightblood
  23. yes, thats what i meant lol also regarding jasnah's death; it really wasnt surprising. If brandon sanderson was gonna kill off one of the characters, he will spend more time on their death scene than he did on jasnah's. I mean come on: *open door* *see jasnah die* *close door*, It wasnt surprising at all to see her alive.
  24. i never believed it was dalinar on the cover because of the color of the cloak. his family color is blue dang it. I also thought whitespren were doglike creatures lol
  25. tbh, i believe kaladin would not have been so disgusted by an honor blade as he was with the shard blade at the end of that battle. Though this does give me hope that helaran is still alive. considering that he may be a surge binder, not dificult to believe that he gave up his shard blade to a friend when he started hearing screams.
