Aon Tia Posted September 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 @TheFoxQR thanks for the explanation. I now can see a lot of merit to your suggestion. And you have made some very valid points regarding the lack of information about the path Pact. In fact it reminds me that it was a legit solution suggested by Jasnah in OB too. So may be it can be used especially to give humanity time to recover and KRs time to train etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindJogger Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I am leaning more towards uniting all the shards of Adonalsium; I am currently on my first re-read of stormlight, and on WOK Hoid tells Dalinar the quote below which has me thinking that this may be the right interpretation of the phrase. Nonsense. Balderdash. Figgldygrak. Isn't it odd that gibberish words are often the sounds of other words, cut up and dismembered, then stitched into something like them—yet wholly unlike them at the same time? "I wonder if you could do that to a man. Pull him apart, emotion by emotion, bit by bit, bloody chunk by bloody chunk. Then combine them back together into something else, like a Dysian Aimian. If you do put a man together like that, Dalinar, be sure to name him Gibberish, after me. Or perhaps Gibletish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted October 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Also I feel that the Iriali religion and there mention of the one and how all experience are important and therefore there will become many then one again, also seems to point towards adonalsium getting reunited again but if dalinar will do it or someone else, we can not tell plus adonalsium is supposed to be super good at futuresight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindJogger Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 I think that given Hoid's quote to Dalinar and the letters he has written, it can be inferred that Adonalsium was shattered for a reason, but that things are not turning out as they expected after the shattering which means that they are not improving hence the part where he states that if one could put him back together into something else, maybe something that would be more akin to what he thinks is good. Again, also I believe that Adonalsium like Harmony may have been balanced, and had its heart on the right place, however lesser minds were unable to comprehend his actions Spoiler kind of like the gist of the conversation between Sazed and Wax on BOM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 On 9/20/2019 at 3:44 PM, The traveller said: hey guys, we have all noticed that how UNITE THEM is a running theme with Dalinar throughout the books so far, we have Dalinar interpret this in different ways : unite all of Alethkar, atleast all the highprinces, not just in name but actually then he expanded it to unite all of humanity, all nations in one alliance and then, he united all three realms together what do you think could be his next interpretations of UNITE THEM? one that comes to mind is unite humans and singers against Odium. i think it may be the running theme for him in SA4 any ideas? Finally a Unite Them theory not declaring Dalinar the second coming of Adonalsium My favourite theory regarding this is that Unity is Dalinar's interpretation of Honor's Intent 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalinar could still be the "unity shard" of the batch purely with Honorific investiture, keeping the other 9 united in their goal and actions, but not controlling them directly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted November 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Ten is too much @Halyo_Alex I have argued before that there can be 5, seeing as other 5 are closer to cultivation.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The entire Greater Roshar system is 10-centric except for Braize. I don't see why it should have to be split into 5 honor and 5 cultivation, because all spren are ultimately at least partially both shard's investiture (and likely other shards, due to Greater Roshar being made by Adonalsium itself). Sure, there are 5 female heralds that are considered closer to Cultivation, but... All ten Heralds wield honorblades, not 5 honorblades and 5 cultivationblades (although having said that, seeing Cultivationblades would be freaking AWESOME...) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesleepsalot Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 I’m a fan of the honorblade guess. In Oathbringer, the chapter titled “Broken People” ends with the Stormfather explaining the Oathpact to Dalinar and Navani. The context of the conversation is the honorblades as well as the bond the Heralds have which allows pain sharing. Then we have this part where “Unite Them” is 1. placed directly in the context of that conversation and 2. In the literal presence of the honorblades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamskinner Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Maybe it is supposed to be "Untie them" but brandon spelled it wrong. It will be corrected in a future release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL Unite all the humanoids of Roshar because that will conteract Odium's MO of sowing conflict / divide and conquer. Unite the splinters of Honor. IMO the "Unite Them" Dalinar keeps hearing is coming from Tanavast's cognitive shadow which the Stormfather absorbed. Tanavast keeps saying Unite Them in the visions and is the most likely candidate for Dalinar hearing them outside of the Visions. Tanavast set up the visions and then merged his mind ghost with a bondsmith spren with instructions to show the visions and seek out new bondsmith's to bond. Bondsmiths are good at piecing things back together as demonstrated by the statue in Thaylen City. That seems to be what the text is pointing towards, but there is probably a twist. Like unite the gas giants, gas giants are sometimes referred to as "failed stars", to form one new star that makes Braize warm enough for habitation, so everyone can move there after Roshar is trashed like Ashyn was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_giant 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wind Posted May 27, 2020 Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Dalinar is gonna take all three shards in roshar and unite them into one. also he wouldn't give the shards to Kaladin because well, would Kaladin even want all that power? If Dalinar gave away any of the shards he would probably give them to Jasna or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalinar's probably not going to survive to the back half of the trilogy and Odium is being set up as more than just the antagonist of Stormlight. Not to mention how terribly repetitive that would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyndle88 Posted May 28, 2020 Report Share Posted May 28, 2020 Unite them as in " Odium and Cultivation" imo. Merging Cultivation with Odium could be how O's power can be kept in check and could be the Ultimate reason why these two Shards came to Roshar in the first place since they knew Rayse would come looking for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
