This is my choice. I cannot pick the destination, only the path. Maybe even just "This is my choice". (with intent of course) He thought he was close with “Give it to me,” Gavilar said. “Now. I need it.”

More random thoughts on this .... Thinking along this line assuming they can’t leave it may not even be permanent, and that may also be part of the issue. The singers change forms anytime they want (with the right conditions of course), meaning rebonding is common. This might not necessarily mean ‘deadeye’ spreen it might just mean the bond itself with singers is weaker allowing them to change bonds. BUT that would still leave the spree without a host and ‘mindless’ on this side if they decided to change. Even if they are not ‘trapped’ this could still be the issue, and might be why we haven’t seen shardblades. IF they are trapped it certainly adds another layer of undesirability

Quick question on that, I am trying to think back through the scenes .... have we seen Timbre outside the gemheart since the bonding at all? Now even if not that might just be because of the situation but would certainly be interesting if they were trapped

Oh man that was an emotional roller coaster. Elokhar holding his son and trying to say the oaths, then .... Moash Shallan .... just all over the board, wit, trying to help and failing, repeatedly That moment when you realize Renerian has bonded a voidspren And being absolutely terrified we had lost Dalinar, vision of him as champion ....no no no... And then, Dalinar! Maya! and so many more it those are the ones that stand out after just finishing. Man that was an amazing story!

He didnt do it, He didnt do it! Ah wonder if the rest of my prediction will come true....

Just a thought here. I honestly do think Pattern doesn't like her sprens "race" if you will. It did read to me as negative. However consider this. Syl REALLY didn't like Cryptics either, and they are not a "bad" spren. Prejudices are not just a human element ....

It DID have bones. Note: I really really dont think it is a Kandra, but the "thing" clearly did have bones

Found it There could be a connection though i doubt it still

Although that is actually interesting now that I think about it. Wasnt the other person killed (and replicated) something said like, they went too far this time and killed them (like they finally snapped). Ill have to go look it up.

Ya know i never even considered that. I honestly dont think it did, but it is possible. As for the rest here is my take (note these are just my opinions) They dont care about the right or wrong of it. They want to use U as a base so they need to to be "safe and secure" which means getting rid of whatever the problem is causing the darkness. Does this darkness relate to the stones being Unhallowed that Szeth could walk on them? - Dont think so Is this darkness part of why the Radiants abandoned it? I suspect it happened after the radients abandoned it but that could be correct Did the darkness contribute to Adolin losing control and killing Torol Sadeas? - dont think so Is this malign influence encouraging further mayhem? - I think so, see 5 Is it behind the replicated murders? - I think so! Is it Odious, independent or an effect of the Oathpact? Dont think its directly Odium so much as one of the unmade What is it's nature? Does Urithiru have a spren? No idea What are the even better questions that I have missed?

Tomorrow Tomorrow there's always tomorrow.... Its only a daaaaaay aaaa waaaaaay Yeah I've got it bad .... i need my Tuesday fix

@ShinyCheetah Not sure i agree that he didnt love Evi (its certainly possible). All we know is that he didnt love her at first. Not surprising since it was an arranged marriage. In chapter 4 where he is talking to Navani, Dalinar says this: “Navani, maybe I did grow to love her. I can’t remember. Not one moment of intimacy, not one fight, not a single word she ever said to me. She’s gone, leaving debris that mars my memory. I can’t remember how she died. That one gets to me, because there are parts of that day I know I should remember. Something about a city in rebellion against my brother, and my wife being taken hostage?” That… and a long march alone, accompanied only by hatred and the Thrill. He remembered those emotions vividly. He’d brought vengeance to those who had taken his wife from him. That at least implies he cared for her,

Just a couple of thoughts. there is a lot of speculation about possible a bond between this "voidspren" and a Parshman... while possible given the level of intelligence I would have to assume they had been bonded much longer. (assuming they follow the same rules) If that were the case my top candidate would be venelli(sp?) and/or some of her scholars. Not saying I agree but IF that were the case........ I have wondered how she knew so much to be able to learn how to transform into storm form and Eshoni commented that the form didn't seem to have changed her. This particular spren however also brings to mind the Dalinar vision where they were chasing a "corrupted spren" and it brought an "escort" (see any similarities?) that created a thunderclast

Ah i didn't remembered where he hid it, any idea where that is in book. All i remember is him thinking he hid it in a safe place. Found it - "He'd hidden that carefully in Jah Keved. He didn't know what it was but he didn't want to risk a master taking it from him" That was quite a while ago though. He might have moved it, or it could be another one. Or of course something else entirely, was just a random though.
