Turin Turambar Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 In Oathbringer, in the scene by Adolin's birth when Dalinor was drinking, one of his friends (I think his name was Bashin) "claimed to have seen half the world and wore a ridiculous hat" (it's quoted from memory, so it's just the general idea. In Warbreaker, there is a character named Parlin who likes hats. I know it's a REALLY tenuous connection, but any thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ed Venture Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Isn't Parlin's bloody corpse found in Denith's house? But I do like the theory! We need more worldhoppers! Edited March 18, 2019 by The Forumlurker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSuperLee Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 It is unfortunate, but Parlin is very much dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turin Turambar Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Yeah, I know that, I wanted to see if there was anything around that. Perhaps the timing worked out the other way (here was with Dalinor first), or maybe he could heal like Jasnah. Again, this is extremely far fetched.

Inky Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I'm pretty sure the Idrians are fairly white, while the Alethi are not, so I doubt he could blend in all too well even if he survived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I don't think the theory works. Parlin is Viviana's age and has never been out of his home at the time of Warbreaker(the two of them have known each other for their entire lives) and then he dies in the same book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parlin and the events of Warbreaker take place before SA, and as Karger said, he was a contemporary of Vivenna. And we saw him very messily dead. Breath and Biochroma don't allow for self-healing at all. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Returning seems to happen at the most a few hours after a person's death. While it's theoretically possible, I would highly doubt he returned.

Turin Turambar Posted March 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Well, it was a nice theory...Thanks for acting as a soundboard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angsos Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Besides we have one Returned running around Roshar and even if Parlin did, he doesn't seem the type to survive outside a sheltered existence. Vivenna had the good luck to run into Vasher, Parlin would have no one. So absent other proof, he's dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
