Two things I haven't seen brought up yet. 1. Sigzil notes that he had to take 'a crash course on tectonic plates' once he started world hopping, implying roshar has no tectonic plates, which seems like an odd detail. I remember an theory from awhile ago (can't find it now of course ) about the entire continent of roshar essentially being just one giant floating island, maybe even living creature like the island cities of the reshi isles but to an incredible scale, which would also help explain the rhythms as heartbeat/emotions of the creature. I don't think it's very likely but it is interesting. 2. The word 'Whimsy' was used in a strange way. I don't know I this means anything, but could potentially hint at Whimsy being behind such a strange planet.

Like completely one hundred percent gone. And let’s say they were currently wearing a human form, would they forget they are a Kandra? Would they think they’re just a normal person? Perhaps it’s like filling an unkeyed metal mind, like they don’t know how to can change forms until they know they can.

Ok three things stood out to me. “Surgebinding savant” got mentioned. I doubt Shallan knows what one of those is or if it’s even possible but I think it was a nice little tickle for us. Nomon was referred to as “honors moon” by Venli. This is more support for the honors perpendicularity theory that was floating around awhile ago. And finally, Lift doesn’t actually use stormlight. Very interesting and we probably could have guessed that, but it’s whatever. So that makes me think that they will have too infuse stormlight and (growthlight?) cultivation’s light into the sibling

MoASh BAd!!!!111!! yes I know it's very original. meme 1.webp

I think they’re just super powerful fabriales, because of how aimia is defended. From the chapter we have there, we know there are huge soulcasted rocks. So maybe one of them is an incredible soulcaster. Although I am not remembering that aimia was renown for their soulcasters...so idk

Idk enough to poke holes in this, but it seems like a pretty good theory. Take an upvote

He says he was made truthless because he "raised the alarm" that the voidbringers were coming back.

“The voidbringers are no more. The knights radiant are no more. We are all that remain.” This is from szeth thinking on the tower in WOR could this mean radiants are still around in shinovar? It could just be talking about the honor blades, but this feels different to me.

Why not make a shard arrow and shoot it with a regular bow? Shard cuts at range and then you can just summon It back and shoot again. Unlimited insta kills

So renarin didn’t see glasses as part of himself, even after having them for his entire life?

So I’ve been thinking about all that we’ve seen stormlight do, and I got curios about what storm light could potentially do. It can heal eyesight (renarin), it can heal shardblade cuts, broken bones, arrows through the face, burns away toxins, helps with the cold, and they don’t need to breath when holding. So what else can it do? It’s said that the best way to kill a radiant is decapitation, or a shard slice through the spine. But could it help with dehydration? Could it help with starvation and other stuff like bad eyesight, for example, bad hearing? And how does it determine what needs to be healed? If someone is born without a finger would it grow a new one? Or what if someone was born with an extra finger? Would the stormlight remove it? i would love to hear your thoughts on this. P.S. why did it heal renarins eyesight? Wouldn’t it be like kaladins scares, or rysns legs?

The only problem I have with this is, why hadn’t she contacted Kaladin? If she’s really there for him why is she just sitting in a bar in the off chance he might show up?

What if Nohadon was a world hopper, and has enough breath to extend his life?

Ok that makes a lot of sense, this had been bugging me for a while.

So the rhythms are in the CR then? Why don’t humans hear them when they are in the CR?

The real question is, why can’t humans hear the rhythm in the first place? Why do they need to have some Singer blood (Rock) or feeling the thrill?

Do we know if %100 (except sky breakers) of radiants broke their oaths? I’m sure 1 or 2 didn’t and just went into hiding, so maybe Lirin still has his spren (assuming this theory is correct), and he just hasn’t summoned his blade in a long time, so his eyes are dark.

Well what if the radiants were trying to make more oathgates? or maybe not all of the radiants were on the same side, or maybe just someone from Iri who wanted another oathgate, and who knew about them stole it, or maybe it was a worldhopper trying to get off world. My point is that there are lots of possibilities of how this could work.

I would actually make the argument that they had MORE knowledge about these things then they have in modern times, because remember, they had hundreds of radiants, and probably a bunch of elsecallers that were doing research in the cognitive realm. They also had Honor around.

Well in that case, never mind. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Well yea it's unclear to us, but so are a lot of things. I'm sure they had a lot more knowledge about these things. Maybe an Iri (I forget the word, whatever order of Knights Jasnah is) was doing this. It seems like something they would do.

I've had a theory floating around for a little while, and it is that Lift is actually a lot older then she looks, and her curse is seeing her loved ones fade away. for a few reasons: 1. When she says shes 10, she says shes been 10 for more then one year. Granted this could just be Lift being Lift. 2. When she says her mother died, she says everyone dies in a way that seems almost uncaring, at first I thought she was murdered, but what if she died from old age? 3. She had a lot of street knowledge, and seems to have been to a lot of the world. 4. She seems very surprised to find that shes growing. Maybe these reasons are weaker then I thought they would be. But it also makes sense she would start growing around the same time Dalinar gets his memories back, because it was finally time to grow.

I think it's the other way around, cause like, how do you go about stealing an entire flipping oathgate? sneak in at night? I think instead they captured one of the spren, and were maybe trying to make a brand new platform. They might have only taken one spren, and figured that it might work with only one spren (But I'm pretty sure one oathgate spren lets people enter, and one helps people exit, so for this they got the one that helps enter) so presumably they tested the oathgate, but because they only had one spren, and nothing to help them exit, they got stuck. As to how they captured the spren, I'm pretty sure they could just use a big gemstone, like trapping an unmande.

Ash is definitely broken enough. And it makes me wonder if interesting things will happen with her bonding a spren, being a cognitive shadow and all. Although nothing seems too weird about
