The Grumpy Elantrian Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 So we know that Dalinar will eventually have to face Odium's champion, and who that will be is not yet known. But do we know whether Dalinar himself will actually fight? Or rather appoint his own champion? Dalinar is still a capable warrior yes, particularly with stormlight to aid him, but he's getting older now. He may opt to have someone, such as Kaladin, serve as his champion against Odium's. However, Dalinar is a bondsmith and the Stormfather mentions on at least one occasion that he has the most powerful of the surges, so perhaps Dalinar has an advantage there. Even if he were to fight himself, what weapon would he use? He wouldn't have a shardblade, unless that is when the stormfather finally gives in on that matter. Perhaps he could use one of the honorblades? I believe Vyre now has Jezrien's, but if Dalinar could get hold of one of the honorblades then he would have a shard and hopefully new surges to play around with. But still, how will he face his enemy do we think? The nine shadows of Odium's champion sounds dangerously like a reference to the unmade (perhaps somehow fused into the one champion?). So even with a blade and possibly two extra surges, how could he even hope to defeat his enemy? I realise I am not very familiar with the deeper lore of these books, but that's why I'm here asking questions, right? Anyway, I welcome your thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borio Singaldi Posted September 15, 2018 Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 What if the final confrontation/contest of champions isn't a physical fight with Shards or Surges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpy Elantrian Posted September 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2018 Instead a battle of wills? Or of words? I mean it's certainly possible, but also not the vibe I got when reading about it. 1 hour ago, Firerusteze said: What if the final confrontation/contest of champions isn't a physical fight with Shards or Surges?

goody153 Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Yeah the final confrontation could be like the end of OT starwars. It was never a fight but a contest of wills and persuasion. It doesn't necessarily have to be a fight. It has been done before to another big series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
