  1. @alder24 The thing is, we still do not know a lot about the Stormfathers Origins, he is a cognitive shadow but he may not have started out as one: Besides, Nightblood and Vasher were one of the main reasons why I thought of Stormfather as an Awakened entity. These two characters were originally written into Stormlight Archive, and Warbreaker was written as a backstory for the characters. (WoB/reference somewhere. I can't find the exact link but here's the closes one I can find. Do correct me if I am wrong:) From a storytelling perspective, Vasher and Nightblood have not had a major impact so far on the Stormlight books. It does feel like Brandon has written these two into Stormlight as an introdution to Awakened/Returned entities, with probably a big reveal scheduled for SA5. One of the most common SA5 theories floating around atm is of Vasher delivering an army of Awakened ancient soulcast statues of the ancient Radiants. I was looking for any alternatives that would involve Nightblood/Vasher/Awakening and came up with the original post.
  2. @robardin, I am assuming it has got to do with Shardic contracts made when taking up shards based on this statement by Wit in Rhythm of War: Crossing the terms made when taking up shards probably has dire consequences and Odium was able to manipulate Ambition/Devotion etc into breaching one of them.
  3. Could the Stormfather be an Awakened being? It could help explain why he does not recollect a Herald dying as mentioned in the SA5 Prologue: He does not remember, because his memories have been tampered with. in the same manner as Wit's as seen at the end of RoW. Other theories seen so far: Current Stormfather being a fake/SA5 Stormfather being a pretender-Ishar/Cultivation shenanigans.
  4. Doubt it. Towards the end of RoW, we are told by the Stormfather that other Bondsmiths have had relationships. (Chapter with Navani and Dalinar at the top Urithiru if I'm not mistaken.)
  5. I am a hundred percent sure that the cover depicts Thaylen City, with its fleet of ships being overlooked by a generic hero. Yes, this is a Rhythm of War cover and we don't have any sequences set there. But Heyne doesn't seem like they put much thought into their covers for this series.
  6. Kaladin would be the natural option to succeed Dalinar as leader of the Radiants. Jezrien was essentially their leader in the past, and he was a Darkeyed Windrunner as well. Kaladin fits the bill
  7. Brandon casually dropping tidbits about Harmony. Love to see it Good catches by you!
  8. Chapter 89: Voice of Lights Just a cheeky inclusion of Harmony I spotted in the main text outside the Epigraphs.
  9. Yeah not canon. He holds the power to retcon and has stated that he will retcon WoB if required for story telling purposes: I am pretty sure there's one more instance where Brandon has stated he would retcon if needed, I can't find it at the moment.
  10. If the choice were up to me, I wouldn't want him to take up the shard of Honor either. But in Words of Radiance, Kaladin mentions this after he gets out of prison post the duel: It would be twisted if Kaladin was forced by Honor to take up the Shard for betterment of Roshar. Bound forever.
  11. Kal as an Avatar of Honor is the simplest explanation that I have seen so far on this Forum. Much like in the same way Vyre mentioned some of the Fused believed Moash was becoming an Avatar of Odium.
  12. Pretty sure this particular Rattle is linked to the suckling child one: The choice of Honor would be to spare the child, and in doing so the Night (Odium?) will reign.
  13. The community has accepted that this Death Rattle fits for Kal's Fourth Oath.
  14. 'Adolin protected by plot armor.' When I saw this, I pictured Adolin losing the trial - getting sentenced to execution and being run through with a sword - Maya recovering and helping Adolin become a Radiant. This could have occurred at the same time Sibling bonded Navani, to circumvent the BAM plot in some manner. Sounds so cheesy that I think I'll leave Brandon to the writing xD
  15. I agree with this. And I think the reason why RoW felt like a 'prologue to Book 5' is because Brandon outlined Books 4 and 5 together. (Posted when Progress Bar on Sandersons Website was updated:) I think we can expect major upheavals occurring in Book 5. Even though it is a Szeth Viewpoint book, I think this is going to be Dalinar centric as well, in the same way Venli-Navani existed for RoW.
