Anyone else wondering what Ishikk and the Purelakers think Vun Makak is upto with this weird new storm? I'm really hoping we get an interlude at the Purelake.

So I was browsing the Coppermind when I came across the page for Trelagism, the religion of the worshippers of Trell. Some background: Trelagists believed that there were two gods, Trell and his healous brother Nalt. They thought that the night was sacred, as they could see the thousand eyes of Trell, the stars. They believed that in the day, Nalt shined his single eye (the sun) on the world, blocking the trelagists from seeing Trell's eyes, as he was jealous of their worship. Now, this strikes me as very similar to the religion described by Ishikk in the Stormlight Archive. They worship Nu Ralik, but they pretend to worship Vun Makak, his jealous brother, the source of all of their misfortunes, to appease him. I think that this is intentional, and that we will see something about this in some of the later Cross-Cosmere books. Thoughts? TL:DR - Religious conspiracy. Purelakian religion is very similar to one of the Scadrian Religions. Expect to see explanation later in the cosmere.

Random and wild speculation here. Could this WOB from the Seattle signing http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/22170-seattle-firefight-signing-162015/page-4 Coupled with this (TWoK Interlude 1) mean that Odium is the Shardholder that had a sibling/brother? And to speculate even more, could his older brother be Tanavast due to this (TWoK, Ch. 75, The Top Room):
