Merlin Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Has anyone else wondered how the heck Lopen lost his arm? My theory is that he fought the "pig" in Herdaz that appears in one of the interludes of... Oathbringer? I think? Anyway, that was the most reasonable theory me and my friend came up with, most of which had to do with him secretly being the king of Herdaz. Oh yeah, and how did he get into the bridge crews in the first place? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a nuisance to the wrong person. Quote Questioner What did Lopen do to get on a bridge crew? Brandon Sanderson Lopen? Someone just thought he was annoying. Lopen, he's like the only person in Bridge Four who's, like, not a criminal. It's just like, "Oh, that stupid Herdazian, send him to a bridge crew, get him away." He's legitimately, like-- all of them have deep, dark, tragic pasts, but not The Lopen. Questioner Is he one of your friends? Brandon Sanderson No...

So maybe he did lose his arm to the pig. But it's best to take what Lopen says with a pinch of copper, anyway. But there's a chance.

TheGirlWhoLookedUp Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) knowing Lopen, he probably made up the fearsome beast part. my guess is he tripped over a rock while skipping and singing Horneater lullabies and landed funny.

Aon Tia Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Well he certainly knows about the pig, so may be he thought claiming that it ate his arm is way cooler than telling what actually happened ! You think if lopen had survived a beastly pig like that, he would have been coy about it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Hey do you think by the time SA4 starts lopen probably has a bunch of one-armed men as his potential squires, considering what he was doing at the end of OB?

That one armed guy that Lopen talks to at the end of Oathbringer can join! I really hope he comes in later as a squire though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on self image it does not just heal to default. A trans person would still heal to an opposite gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
