Vin(Diesel) Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 Nomad/Sigzil said his oaths "ended." Not that he broke them, but that they ended. Perhaps this means that it became logically impossible for him to protect people without harming them more. For instance, perhaps a deal was made with Odium that he would not destroy Roshar as long as the Radiants wouldn't protect the people of Roshar. In that scenario, protecting people would be breaking your oaths to protect them. That could explain why Auxiliary says he is dead, but isn't an ordinary deadeyes. Then again, a lot of things could explain that. Spren didn't become deadeyes when their Knights broke oaths before the Recreance. So much is changing, and maybe something else will stop there from being deadeyes again. What do you think? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondPlace Posted May 31, 2022 Report Share Posted May 31, 2022 I’m still not convinced that Aux is even a Rosharin spren, and if he is there must be more going on that being simply a deadeye because Aux is shown using a combination of surges that no order has access to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty certain Spoiler AdelRD Whatever is happening to Sigzil and his spren, is it related to the fact that the Sleepless forbid Rysn to bond a spren? Brandon Sanderson Yes. Also a good question. Matt Hatch I admire all these people. These are great, deep metaphysical questions. Adam I am amazed every stream at how little I know. Not how much other people know, but how little I know. Brandon Sanderson Let's just say you are finding out, or Sigzil is finding out first hand part of why that warning was in place. And he didn't get that warning. He should have. Let's say that other people in the Cosmere have been able to do it without it being a problem. And so, you know, if you happen to be an age-old immortal master of multiple arcanum, then you can get away with things that poor people like Sigzil have more trouble with.

I find it more likely that Sigxil’s original Soren was killed, and he met Auxiliary sometime later. That would end Sigzil’s oaths without him breaking them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also We've seen sprints refer to themselves as Knights and the bonded humans as Squires before. Also Sigzil Says his oaths should override the tournament. Meaning that at 1 time they did meaning that he must have been a functional knight's radiant when the torment first started. Also Auxillary is a shard blade. No cognitive shadow or non rosharen Spren has ever show such an ability. Also a shard blade is said his truest form that would not be the case for a cognitive shadow.

No CS nor non-Roshar spren has ever been in a Nahel bond, at least that we've seen. A good point, but also not necessarily true. "When?" Im pretty sure his high Spren calls Zeth squire but I could be wrong. But what human could nomad possibly me a squire of? His spen blade isn't hoid or Kaliden so I don't think it could be human. "Or it means that he never directly broke his oaths, as implied by him saying that his oaths ended rather than saying that he broke them. Losing a spren will do that to you." This make no sense. Even if he didn't directly break his oaths if his spren was dead it would still be that he was not bond by oaths when he took up the dawnshard which is not what the text describes. "No CS nor non-Roshar spren has ever been in a Nahel bond, at least that we've seen." Why do you think non rosharen Spren can even form Nahel bonds Seon can't so why would an non rosharen Spren much less a connective shadow be able to? Also Auxillary says Sigzil killed him? Unless you think he is going to kill some rando who happenes to become a cognitive shadow (despite this the fact that this is supposed tp be really difficult) what could this be other then his Spren.

Sigzil sees his oaths as completely gone, 'ended', but also expects them to still protect him from the Torment. What would have caused that besides his spren being killed?

Pain Spren, luck Spren and seons all form bonds. But this must be different from the nahel bond because neither warforrm, great shells, or selish humans have access to surgebinding or shardblades. The very fact that nomad expects his oaths to override the torment means that at one time they did. For that to happen whatever "ended" his oaths must have happened after becoming a dawnshard.

That makes no sense, He wasn't talking about following his oaths he was talking about his oaths overriding the torment. Meaning his oaths were functioning magically. For that to work they could not have ended yet. Dead oaths even dead oaths he was keeping would not have overrided the tournament. "Other spren form bonds by going inside a creature's gemheart, something humans don't have. Seons could have a different kind of bond, or their bond could just be weaker than a Radiant bond." Exactly my point Other cognitive entities form bonds a either weeker or Fundamentally different from the Nahel bond Only one of the radiance Spren can form a Nahel bond For accelerate To do the things he does he could not be cognitive shadow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken oaths would not override the torment. Oaths that 'ended' because of the spren's destruction via anti-Stormlight just might, as they'd still be a part of him. 15 minutes ago, bmcclure7 said: Exactly my point Other cognitive entities form bonds a either weeker or Fundamentally different from the Nahel bond Only one of the radiance Spren can form a Nahel bond For accelerate To do the things he does he could not be cognitive shadow. That is jumping to conclusions. The only fully sentient spren we've seen that forms a non-Nahel bond is Seons, and considering that they don't even know such a thing is possible, we can't be certain that they cannot. Even Rosharan spren couldn't form Nahel bonds till they saw the Heralds doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but where is the qualitative difference? Surgebinding may just be stronger because luckspren are stupider than Radiant spren. 14 hours ago, bmcclure7 said: "Aviars?

There is no evidence that the bond itself is different. Aviars even allow for squires. Radios are not the same as vacuum cleaners. Nevertheless you can run them with the same cable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
