Could Shinovar be run by stonewards?
The One Who Connects replied to Fifth of Daybreak's topic in Stormlight Archive
Never refine by specific dates. It's rubbish. The other fun tip is that, counter-intuitively, you will get more accurate search results with less words. To quote myself from the "Nuances of Search Functions" bit in my Sig: I refined it to search within topic titles only, and used "Shaman," "Shamans," "Shamanism," "Stoneward," and "Stonewards" separately. Sounds about par for the course. A general rule of thumb is that I mostly offer corrections or additional information, rather than actually debating things unless I get myself roped into it. The Other Topics are a good example of the former. Originally, I was gonna post them as a "this has been talked about over here, might be useful to you." Then I realized how many times it'd been discussed and I got a little out of phase. So sorry for that. I knew our point had never been addressed, but some of the others had. I should've actually read them rather than assuming some of them had those more straight up shutdowns on things. (I assumed there was a 2 year gap in discussing the topic for a reason) I only addressed the one point(albeit indirectly) because it was the only one I saw any need to address. I'll admit I was a little rude and that I should've added a little more reasoning to my statement, but I'd gotten tired of discussing it. I trust Honor's Vision, and don't see them faking it regardless. In my eyes, Stubbornness and Subterfuge don't mix. I don't think modulating how much the blade glows is something they have the ability to do. I don't see the point of the ability. Outside of faking the Recreance, why would that ability be used? Even if they could, I don't think they'd be able to do so while not actually holding the blade. (If somebody has their blade change form while they aren't holding it, then maybe, but until then... The blade is described as being silver. The garnet lines are describes as faint lines along the blade itself. Even if they were brighter, Shallan wouldn't be able to see those in the first part because the blade was run through Tyn at the time. Kaladin likely points them out for the same reason Adolin points out the glow on Dalinar's plate. They've seen plate/blade before, but the glow is unique, so they notice it. I'm not fully sure on the Oathgate bit, but I feel that has more to do with the mechanism itself unlocking than anything else. On the subject of arguments from the past.. Quoth Marianmi: "Then you can argue for any order to have done that " It's probably of note that you appear to be the 3rd person who doesn't consider Honor's Vision as sufficient evidence that the Stonewards quit. There is the part where they gave up their Shardplate too, which I don't believe anyone has brought up. Your thoughts on that portion of the proceedings? Also, since you mentioned I didn't address some of your other points: We have an astonishing lack of blade details beyond our main cast. Courtesy of Maxal: Moash's blade could be a Truthwatcher blade, as Progression can make vines/plants grow. User thejopen27 believes there was a mention of a blade with geometric patterns running along it at some point. I'd probably consider that as a Lightweaver Blade from the similarity to a Cryptic, but I don't know when then mention happened. Regarding our Radiants, have the table from the Wiki(which might format weirdly on mobile, so fair warning) And that's that. Now that the internet appears to be functioning again, I can finally post this. -
I posted both of them in this thread, and only found it because I remembered the discussion was with Marianmi. (Here's how I found the topic. Enjoy how horrendously bootleg it is.)

The Heralds and Where to Find Them
The One Who Connects replied to Tariniel's topic in Stormlight Archive
Its not a confirmation, I was literally stating the Vorin Religion (Brandon often puts hints of truth in local religions sometimes) The fact that it gets twisted was part of how Heaven = Hell due to shattered facts. I was only pointing it out because both places being Braize could fit with Marianmi's question. (Leap of literary faith) I don't see Ashyn fitting in much, mostly because it is/was supposed to have its own story at some point. The Silence Divine I think?- 64 replies

Having reread the scene, I somewhat agree. It just didn't stick in my head as her losing that bad at first. If we go with Marianmi's idea of the Heralds being able to get Investiture straight from Honor, then Elend isn't comparable, but post-mistpoint Vin would be. It's an assumption yes, but one that spurs discussion. I more imagined wounds from a swing, mainly because of how Shardblades work. A "stab" wound just seems out of character for people acquainted with its limb-killing ability. Also, if they did stick one in him, couldn't he just take it out? No real argument on the last point, it makes sense. I don't know if Lashing based fighting style really favors multiple opponents, but that's not the point
