Does anyone know when the links will go up? It's been 15 minutes already since the posted time and they haven't been updated.

I have seen the unchanged Stick and heard his voice. His return is eminent: tremble at his logic.

I don't think Kaladin got over his hatred of light eyes. I think he just realized that killing someone he didn't like or stepping aside to let someone he didn't like get killed wasn't right. Edit: kind of like how Peter Parker stepping aside to let the thief go free just because the guy he was stealing from swindled him.

The question we should be asking is, which shard is Stick a splinter of? (Bad pun intended)

I'm on my phone right now, so I can get any quotes, but I believe the horneater accent when speaking Alethi uses "he" or "she" instead of "it" when choosing pronouns for neuter objects. However, his use if the phrase "another one" could hint that honorblades might be sentient, like the spren.

Not sure if this counts as necroing a thread, but the Taravangian interlude in WoR indicates that only two Honorblades give access to the growth surge. This is how he

Somehow I think Shallan's mistaken use of "Talat's Hand" is just her lack of knowledge of curses.

Mr. Sanderson personalized my copy with a fun fact about the horn eaters. I'll post a pic later, but essentially,

As the release date for WoR draws close, I decided to throw another wildly speculative theory in the ring. I don't think I've seen this before, but please correct me if I am wrong So we know from the sample chapters that thunderclasts are spren that animate stone. My speculation is that like midnight essence, thunderclasts are one of the Ten Deaths, and that each Death arises from a corrupted spren from one of the surgebinding orders animating its respective essence to create some type of monster. If this were the case, thunderclasts would be generated by spren from Kelek's order animating stone and midnight essence would be generated by spren from Nalan's order animating smoke. Using this to extrapolate the other ten deaths, we'd have, in order starting with Jezrien's order: some type of air/storm elemental, midnight essence, some type of lava/fire elemental, evil crystals?, ents?, blood parasites?, environmental hazard (oil spill?), animated weapons/armor (a la Wheel of Time), thunderclasts, and zombies? Obviously Mr. Sanderson has something much more interesting in mind, but this was hilarious to think up...

I tried making boxes that haven't been confirmed yet (i.e. Bondsmiths falling under Kelek) in gray, so that adds to the difficulty in reading. I'll change it once its been confirmed. Unfortunately, I just had a hard drive crash so I lost my original spreadsheet file :/ I'll end up making another for when I start my second reading of Words of Radiance!

Here it is! I made this to use during my reread. Edit: Actually made the link available

I have a chart that I made that's (as far as I know) up-to-date. Does anyone know how I can upload it?

If Syl (pure speculation) is 100% honor (judging that she is honorspren), and assuming marianmi's theory to be correct (that as you go down the 10 orders of KR you get more spren with more Cultivation in them), then we can extrapolate that around order 6 (Lightweavers), the spren will be 100% cultivation. This is complete speculation of course, but it has interesting symmetry, since to be a Lightweaver, you need a Cryptic, and the Cryptics have a rivalry with the honorspren... hmmm...

I figured that if Shallan and Jasnah make it to the shattered plains, then they would become Kaladin's responsibility to protect, since Dalinar wants him to cover all of his family members, and both Jasnah and Shallan now fit that description... Edit: Is anyone else getting the feeling that Shallan and Jasnah won't make it to the shattered plains until the end if the book? I mean, just making it there with a few chapters of exposition would just be to easy, right?

Mine was more of a gut feeling. I like yours better because it's fleshed out and draws implications like using the plate as a battery! Will +1 when I get on a computer
