I don't know if someone mentioned it already but it said somewhere that Dalinar was the first person in hundreds of years to bond the Stormfather. So Galivar couldn't bonded the Stormfather. But other, really interesting theory. Have an upvote.

First time that I can ever post a relevant WoB:

Sorry to be this blunt but this theory has come up 4 different times in the last month and it is starting to annoy me. There are literally 2/3 theories like this on the first page. Before you post you something about a new theory, please go check if it already exists. Edit: I feel like owe an apology. I overstepped my bounds and I am sorry I did.

I am currently re-reading the books but I hadn't noticed that. Thank you for illuminating the darkness of my ignorance.

In terms of abilities and ideals. I've been confused by this because Kaladin and Szeth seem to have similar capabilities (fly, walk on walls, etc.). Where is the difference between those two orders?

Honestly, I think your on to something. It has always bothered me that silver is not an Allomantic metal. Gold, Copper, etc. all other metals are allomantic but not silver? Come on. I think there is a secret silver we still have to uncover.

Hey, before Oathbringer comes out I want to do a re-read of WoK and WoR. Unfortunately, I haven't been active on the Stormlight Theory forum at all so I have missed all the big theories and revelations and RAFOs and the like. Can someone give me a summary of the biggest confirmed theories/revelations/RAFOs that have come out over the last year or so? Then I can look for them while reading the books and enjoying them even more. Maybe it can also be a thread where we all can post the confirmed stuff so we have a place to store it all. The forum has become overwhelmingly confounded.

May I be so bold and do a bit of self-advertisement? I've started another thred about this months ago: Hope you find it useful.

@The One Who Connects Could you please clarify how Stormlight 10 ends? Where did we learn about that? (WoB?) "I assume he is referring to the "we already know how Stormlight ends" bit from Brandon. His logic falters twice however. The first is that we know how Stormlightwill end as in book 10, while he is talking about book 5. (Not too big of a deal, but a contradiction nonetheless)"

Well, that's the speculation. This opens up a new route for speculation. We speculate that the following SA books will take part on Braize. How will they get there? Will Hoid lead them? Will they find a way themselves? I agree with you completely on the part that the Oathpact is was traps him there. Thanks for answering. Have an upvote. Oh, that is interesting. I have never heard that one before. That is in stark contrast with the WOB which says that Braize is like a prison. Why would he be on Braize then and not Ahshyn. I like the web metaphor. Here, have an upvote. @Ari

@Ari Were the Heralds or any other Cognitive Shadows on Braize before Odium arrived?

I figure that this must have happened before Odium was trapped on Braize. It became a prison once Cultivation and Honor trapped Odium there. Which leads to the question: If Odium wasn't there, what on earth was he doing there?

Oh, that is interesting. I have never heard that one before. That is in stark contrast with the WOB which says that Braize is like a prison. Why would he be on Braize then and not Ahshyn. I like the web metaphor. Here, have an upvote.

What I think is interesting to think about is what it would mean for Odium. Hoid could escape. Why couldn't Odium escape? Did Hoid do a special trick? And why did Odium not notice Hoid on Braize? Has Hoid a ability that we don't know about?

What could this element be then? Maybe something which only exists on Braize? Maybe a magical artifact? Maybe something like the black sphere of Galinar?
