Blue the Feelspren Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 So, I am only a fourth of the way through Warbreaker, and just learned about Jewels' lack of Breath. Then, talking to a friend, I learned Clod used to be Arsteel, and that the two were romantically close. That got me thinking... What if, though it has been said that Jewel's Breath was taken by a Returned... What if she gave her Breath to awaken him instead? (Mear food for thought. I may be way off, and again have not read through the whole book.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well Jewes say that she give his Breath to the God-King when she was a child and she was quite proud of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 I don't see why she would lie about giving her breath to the emperor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 But also if she lie. I don't see the meaning of giving away your breath to someone who has managed to live for centuries (getting enough breaths) without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, I think Blue is saying that maybe Jewels was the one to turned Arsteel's corpse into a Lifeless. But yeah, she probably wasn't lying. Blue, later in the book you'll read a scene where Jewels defends her decision to sell her Breath as a child, and the story she tells is way too detailed for it to have been made up on the spot.

She didnt have to make it up on the spot for it to be a lie. In fact, with Jewels and Denth, I would expect it to be a lie. But yeah, she did say she traded it for a good sum of money to help save her fathers business. To the God-King, not just a Returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 On that note, nice first topic! It was shot down, but so are most of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. If she had a good reason to lie about it, it would have been wise to invent a story beforehand. I still think she wasn't lying. You know what? Let's wait for Blue to read that part so he can tell us what he thinks. This is his thread after all. Edited December 12, 2015 by skaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ninja Yodeler Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 True. If she had any reason to lie about it, she probably invented a story beforehand. I still think she wasn't lying. You know what? Let's wait for Blue to read that part so he can tell us what he thinks. This is his thread after all. Oh, for sure I think she was being honest. She did get really upset when Vivena tried to suggest the God-King stole her Breath. Which, to me, strikes as her being honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, certainly, either she was acting on an extreme level, or, more likely, she really does believe in the God King. She grew extremely upset and defensive. Ahh, well, it was fun and a bit romantic to speculate either way. ^-^ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
