Its the Desolation Paparazzi who stalked the Heralds all those years ago. The Heralds grew sick and tired of it, and broke the Oathpact. The paparazzi then went after the Radiants instead, and thus caused the Recreance. The Skybreakers remained because they knew how to sue the paparazzi and thus earned money from them. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other three represent our main KR so far (Bondsmith, Lightweaver, Windrunner,) but Lift, for as much as I lover her, does not strike me as someone the general audience is going to know much about, if even remember. (In other words, not a main character.) So could this mean that either 1. We're going to get a prominent Edgedancer in Oathbringer. (The Adolin revives his blade and becomes an Edgedancer theory is pretty popular.) or 2. Lift enters the main story earlier than expected. (This is, of course, the best of all possible things that can occur in Oathbringer :P) Heck, why not combine them both and have Lift train/buttrace Adolin around Urithiru. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 The hooded figures are probably not the bonsmiths, as there are usually only three of them at a time. I would say that, because it is religious art, the hooded figures are ment to represent all the leaders of the word untied together, but they are all wearing the same cult-like outfits, not usually as regal or diverse as the kings' outfits would be. Then again, he is a Herald, and can probably tell kings how to dress according to his whims. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The higher resolution ones show multiple masks on the ground by Shalash, and the hooded men are holding the lanterns around Ishar. Also, Shalash's dress is somewhat see-through. The masks are more interesting, though. I wonder what they represent? Edited October 20, 2017 by SilverTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks very much, Aleksiel. Ten lanterns like the number of Oathgates, may be one from each silver kingdom. The in-world artist must know Ash could change appearance. I like how it has an out of this world beauty vibe. @StormingTexan that's a very interesting way to interpret it, I didn't consider it. It's fitting isn't it?

So these will require analysis through Vorin lenses. Yet in an unintended way it has remained timeless. In-world the masks might be connected to the 'shalashian temperament' that has been mentioned, it was never clarified what it meant exactly or the knowledge illumination allowed one to look different was still common when the painting was created. I wonder where she is supposed to be - may be on one of the moons and behind her is Roshar? Edited October 20, 2017 by Aleksiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminds me visually of the First Hokage's necklace, which helped him capture and control tailed beast, so why not unmade, too? No, seriously, they look alike and the suggested functions are similar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbour Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Now im hyped for Lift appearance in the OB. Im not saying anything, but we have Windrunner (Kaladin), Lightweaver (Shallan), Bondsmith (Dalinar) and Edgedancer (Lift) Heralds. Since three of them are in the OB, i aslo expect the fourth one character to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxal Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Not at all what I expected, but it is gorgeous. I however think the female character's dressing style is odd when compared to the book we are reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's supposed to be very old painting and art always challenges social norms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
