  1. wow awesome thanks for that. I think my theory could still apply but i would toss out the undead idea at this point. I would say that with the new information i would not want a parshendi to get its hand on a hate sprin. storm form implys that they may be voidbringers but it is not conclusive. although the bumps are likley just parts of the city.
  2. Thanks for letting join the comunity. I browse the forums here a bit love the theory crafting. I have a bit of a theory of my own i would like your guys input in, wouldnt have came to me if it wasnt for your forums but check it out if you have the time. http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/1207-theory-the-parshmen-are-not-voidbringers/page-7#entry61708
  3. So, Recently skimmed through this forum post because i too am torn on wether or not the parsh are void bringers and i had a thought while i was reading the infamous quote "Above the final void I hang, friends behind, friends before. The feast I must drink clings to their faces, and the words I must speak spark in my mind. The old oaths will be spoken anew. -Dated Batabanan, 1173, 45 seconds pre-death. Subject: A light eyed child of five years. Dictation improved remarkably when giving sample." So there is a lot here given from brandon and it occurred to me that size does matter. "above the final void I hang". interesting choice of words when your leaping on a very large rock formation that is very out of place and seems to have distinct attributes like mounds all over it and it is ridiculously large. It is also intentionally misleading you could also take it to mean he is hanging over the parshendi (voidbringers). But i think that is a feint because it more clearly defines the parshendi as friends. Friends behind ( the aelethi) and freinds before ( the parshendi). what if, and i am just throwing this out there, what if the tower itself is the last voidbringer left. Just dormant and waiting. maybe the shin beleive that they won the last desolation and that all the voidbringers were wiped out and that is why their culture is so anti violence because they accepted what the heralds said and are refusing to be violent in anyway to their once staunch allies against the forces of desolation. wich would explain their culture. Szeth saying that the desolations are not over and that voidbringsers still exist would imply that they need to be preparing for war instead of holding farming in high regard. I think brandon is using the parshendi and parshmen as a scapegoat and misleading us to thinking they may be a threat when i think that from the fruits of their labor you can see that niether parshmen nor parshendi have genuine ill will toward anyone kaladin is upset because they have more honor that most alethi he encounters. P.S I mean shards do cut rock and all... It has been established that odium uses stone monsters like thunderclasts why would voidbringers be that much diferent. Another note on parsh hatred of tampering with the dead may stem from odium using fallen parsh as undead or something in the desolations that could be why they get so upset when some one touches their dead. I am working a lot on the fact that shard blades cut only rock and dead flesh and it seems to be profain to use it against the living. Remember Szeth who seems to know the most about stuff in general says this "But when weapons created to fight nightmares were turned against common soldiers, the lives of men became cheap indeed".this implies that odiums forces are not going to be regular living breathing armies but something much more terrible.
