I’ve always thought that Lirin used to be a soldier and that’s why he is so adamantly pacifist. What if he was one of the Blackthorns Elites. We know the events at the Rift drove at least one Elite into the Ardentia and I could see it driving another into field of medicine. IIRC he didn’t become an apprentice surgeon until he was older which would fit the timeline fairly well. He claims to have been a courier in his youth and I am inclined to believe him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolenlightweaver Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I also don't think he would settle in land belonging to Sadeas. It seems that Dalinar took good care of his crew after the fighting died down so he would probably on his High Prince's land. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan_sedai Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 (edited) There is a Lirin quote in the Way of Kings that I would like to bring up: Quote “The Almighty calls all men back to the Spiritual Realm eventually.” (Page 308 in my book, end of chapter 16 if it isn’t the same page.)

I can't remember where it is but she mentions that things in the CR are more fluid while things in the spiritual realm are perfect. Also those two ardents who are discovering the uncertainty principle debate theology by mentioning that in the spiritual realm perhaps those whose calling is to cook will make ideal food is the SR when they die. Also during Gavilar's funeral in Oathbringer they ardent mentions the three realms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+TheFoxQR Posted July 20, 2019 Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 There is definitely more to Kaladin's parents than meets the eye. Remember, Quote JoyBlu Both Tien and Kaladin are Radiant, you talked about how that wasn't hereditary, and how that was more because of where they were with association. Was it because they were associated with the same person, or the same place? Brandon Sanderson Yes, Connection influences spren. JoyBlu Right, but was the Connection to a person that they were around? Brandon Sanderson Connection to people. JoyBlue So not necessarily the place where they were? Brandon Sanderson Right. Joyblu Because my way of thinking it might be with the people is because, like with the Purelake on the Cognitive Realm there would be more spren hanging out there because that was more land, right; so if you spent more time on that you would have more spren around you. So if you're closer to more water, you're closer to more spren. Brandon Sanderson That is not an irrelevant observation. Skyward release party (Nov. 6, 2018) The fact that both Tien and Kaladin started attracting spren at a young age implies that the spren were already around someone close to them. And the closest was their parents. Besides, the whole Child of Tanavast thingy implies there may actually be something to Kaladin's heritage. Not to mention Kaladin's focus book was titled "The Way of Kings". And then there's this doozy: Quote He must pick it up, the fallen title! The tower, the crown, and the spear! The Tower and Crown being the Kholin family crest, and the Spear being a symbolic reference to Kaladin. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that the "the Tower" was a reference to the rock formation where Sadeas betrayed Dalinar. That is where Kaladin swore his second oath right? And "the crown" is a reference to Elhokar, the king. Kaladin swore his third oath protecting Elhokar. He summons "the Spear" (Syl) and, by doing so, takes up the long lost title of Knight Radiant.

Kon-Tiki Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 If that's the case, then there are two references to Kaladin swearing the Third Ideal in the Death Rattles and that seems like a lot to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we are following the pattern of oaths - what if 'the Spear' somehow tells us where (or when) he will swear the fourth one? (Though I have no idea what it can mean...)

+TheFoxQR Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) This and certain other conclusions I've drawn recently makes me suspicious of the accuracy what we think will happen in these books. SA is Sanderson's Magnum Opus, I'm pretty sure the story is going places we aren't even suspecting yet. 15 hours ago, Nnatel said: I feel like the Tower can be as well a reference to Urithiru - and so to all Knights Radiant. I'm pretty sure that's where the Tower in the Kholin crest comes from. In fact, it might be a remnant of an older crest, which the Kholins either appropriated or that's just their lineage.

ScavellTane Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Im of a mind that it refers to Renarin but alot of people would have to die for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
