I was rereading WoK today, and found this tidbit from when Dalinar killed some Parshendi archers aiming at Bridge 4: Any theories on this? We know that Dalinar has been subconsciously using Stormlight for a while -- and I think that his descriptions of 'being the Blackthorn' sound like something beyond just the Thrill -- so that might explain it.

I used this one, but I'm not sure how good it is. http://www.blisstonia.com/software/WebDecrypto/

I ran it through a subsitution solver, and the best it came up with: "dies then we orgem how aegqcadeqlzil dangoes blowar for worlock somes went spade lowevhxcus delotherge waywslo" Maybe would work better with a Sanderson-focused solver?

If Taravangian's is actually a moral guy trying to create instability, why does he tell Szeth to essentially "kill everyone in the way"? I don't see how burning through normal soldiers would have any more shock value than say, flying around and destroying shardbearers. Maybe Tara has been corrupted, maybe he was always a grey figure, but I really can't see him as honorable/selfless.
