Turin Turambar Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Somewhere in the first 2 books Navani says to Dalinor (quoted loosely from memory) "in some cultures, we'd be obligated to marry." Now, I'm not sure what culture in Roshar or even the Cosmere, but I think there is real world source for it. Where is that source, and why is it there? Call it a challenge for all of you. Good Luck!

The offer is only made as a technicality. No actual expectation of acceptance exists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
