Eternal Khol Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Spoilers for sp#4 The character of the story is Sigzil!!!! Updates as I read: - Sigzil is hiding from the "night brigade" wonder if they have anything to do with the so called Dust Brigade of Threnody - does Sigzil now have the same affliction as Hoid? Using weapons/fighting isn't something he seems to be able to do - is Auxiliary a deadeye?!?! Or "revived" deadeye - I think Sig just admitted to being on Ashyn before. He was on the "Flying cities near his homeland" that's gotta be Ashyn Edited March 24, 2022 by Eternal Khol 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TranslucentPhilosopher Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) edit: @Eternal Khol sorry I forgot, to quote you! Mainly chapter 9 and the way Sigzil talks about his homeworld. However, upon reading it once more I'd say it could be anything... definitely need to read this again when I'm less stoked.

handleinthedark Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I think Knight is Aux and this is what happens when you break your oaths. Notice he doesn't have contact with them when Aux is left behind and must physically retrieve them. Maybe a Gem is required which we know is how they got the summoning of dead shardblades to work. Additionally I wonder if the Torment is not only received from Hoid but passed from him. I.e. those afflictions no longer affect Hoid. Additionally there is the point about the Dawnshard to get to Hoid via connection with Sigzil so I wonder what that is about. The other thing is that though this is in the far future Sig is still worried about dragging things back to Roshar. I don't think that plays into how book 5 ends(it seems Sig ends up off world because of the events there) but might point to how the whole arc concludes at book 10. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wadders Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I was thinking that Aux was a cognitive shadow of an old knight radiant that has bonded to Sigzil. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Khol Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) It seems rather clear that Sig will hold a Dawnshard at some point. Having the same affliction as Hoid. Mentioning it as "An after-effect of the burden he’d once carried, the thing that had given him his Torment" Edited March 24, 2022 by Eternal Khol 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Solunu Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 I figured out that it was Sigzil an hour into the video. I was surprised because Sigzil wasn’t someone that I saw get brought up when people were speculating about this book. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpurPhönix Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Yeah Sig wasn't the most common, but I did see at least one or two people mention him as a possibility. Although I think people weren't sure where it would be if it was him Edited March 24, 2022 by PurpurPhönix 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Khol Posted March 24, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 Brandon said that Stormlight 5 is supposed to make use understand "what caused this whole thing to happen" If Stormlight 5 is supposed to make is understand how Sigzil got to where he is. Isn't that kind of telling us that Sig will become a Dawnshard in book 5? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippoPhileus Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 What if Aux and the weirdness around that has something to do with freeing Ba-Ado-Mishram, restoring something to both humans and spren? Night Brigade, Dust Brigade...hmmm, well, these are threnodites so I wouldn't be surprised. I wonder, can Sigzil eat meat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so as well, although I'm more curious as to why this happens and how this will play into things. 2 minutes ago, Thaidakar the Ghostblood said: what the storms is the night brigade???? Part of me thinks that they're a splinter group unattached to Scadrial or Roshar, hunting Dawnshards either for some nefarious purpose such as destroying them or controlling them for their own means. Other random Stormlight notes: Roshar didn't explode, so that's nice. Kaladin (and/or someone else Sigzil cares about) is still alive, meaning this happens close enough to Stormlight Archive overall for Kaladin to be alive, or he has Ascended (which I totally support) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon says that this is fairly far into the cosmere timeline. "Moderately far into the cosmere's future." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
