Brightness Jencee Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I just finished my current WoK reread, and this part of Dalinar's last vision in the book jumped out at me... "The sky was dark and he stood on a field of dull, bone-white rock, jagged and rough, extending in all directions. Off into eternity. Amorphous shapes made of curling grey smoke rose from the ground. Like smoke rings, only in other shapes. Here a chair. There a rockbud, with vines extended, curling to the sides and vanishing. Beside him appeared the figure of a man in uniform, silent and vaporous, rising lethargically toward the sky, mouth open. The shapes melted and distorted as they climbed higher, though they seemed to hold their forms longer than they should. It was unnerving, standing on the boundless plain, pure darkness above, smoke figures rising all around." I feel like I've seen this place somewhere else in the books, but can't think where. Do any of you experts out there know where this is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShara Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Maybe when they were fighting Re-Shephir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old man moomba Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) That's the Stormfather's place... Where Dalinar waits for the vision with Fen to start. From OB. The Stormfather says that when things are finally forgotten, they evaporate in that place. Edited February 22, 2019 by Dr. Dapper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insert_anagram_here Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I'm not an expert but that's an interesting paragraph and maybe if I say what I'm reminded of it might jumpstart anyone else's memory. So it reminds me: 1. the WoK Prologue where Kalak assesses the aftermath of a battlefield 2. Smokes taking shapes of faces remind me of Midnight Essense 3. Maybe Salash's picture? : Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
