I was just listening to Chapter 14 in Rythm of War. In a discussion between Leshwi and Venli, we learn that the Oathpact was transferred solely to Taln. Another Herald could not be responsible because they were no longer a part of the Oathpact.

Sorry I am long winded. Summary: Shallan-9 Kaladin-1? Younger Dalinar-7w8 Current Dalinar-1 Adolin-2w3???

I've recently discovered enneagram types and now I am fascinated by trying to categorize Sanderson characters. What I find interesting to do is to start by comparing Stormlight characters to the level 9 of health for each enneagram type,as each type is prone to one or two mental illnesses at that level, and many Stormlight characters have a pretty obvious mental illness they are battling. It is surprising when the corresponding personality type also aligns with that characters fears and desires. I'm not sure it always lines up well, but for a few characters, it seems to work out well enough that I wonder if Brandon Sanderson has studied enneagram types or if he is just that insightful as he develops characters. I think Shallan might actually be a 9. She started out trying so hard to hold her family together while they were all falling apart at the seams. When a 9 reaches level 9 on the healthiness scale, they tend toward multiple personality disorders. 9 s tend to disconnect from their feelings and problems, which Shallan does. They also spend so much time being what other people need that they can be pretty unsure about who they are, also a good fit for Shallan. I think you could also make a decent argument for 5 too, but I think overall 9 is a better fit. Kaladin is harder, maybe a 1???, with his moral compass being primarily focused on protecting people? As a 1 progresses to unhealthy, they tend to be obsessive over the wrongdoings of others (like his attitude against light eyes). At level 9 of unhealthy they can struggle with severe depression. I agree Dalinar is now a 1. However, I think he was different when he was younger. People aren't typically supposed to change enneagram types, but I think Cultivation's intervention provided a unique opportunity to do so. So, I think young Dalinar was a 7 with a very strong wing 8. His main motivation was seeking satisfaction (predominantly manifested in his pursuit of the The Thrill). 7s often don't find satisfaction, which fits Dalinar and his relationship with The Thrill. At level 9 of healthiness, 7s struggle with addiction, in Dalinar's case, drinking. As for the strong wing 8, when type 8 becomes is at level 9 of healthiness, they can become brutally destructive when they feel.threatened or betrayed. Sounds like Dalinar. Adolin- maybe 2w3 or 3w2. I haven't had much chance to think about it yet.
