SzethIsBadAsHell Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 Upon first reading Warbreaker , Did you at first assume Lightsong was a detective or constable in his precious life . The way he was curious about who broke into mercy star temple and investigated about what was going on with the lifeless commands. Yes I have finished the book . Yes I know what his occupation was , I was just wondering how many got that impression from the book . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorkel Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I think we were supposed to be seriously considering the possibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) I remember being a little disapointed about that. Like the dude was just a bookie? Hmmm.... Makes me wonder what Blushweaver was, as I can't remember if they mentioned it or not. Edited November 5, 2019 by Enoshima Junko 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was murdered afterward and gained the name Blushweaver the Honest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She died because she was a witness to some sort of crime and they went after her as a result. Despite the personal risk to her she did so anyway. Hence why she was Blushweaver the honest. Thanks much. This just further proves my theory that in any entertainment medium it's always my fave chraracters that will end up Spoiler dying during or at the end of the story. I really hate that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunu’anaki Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 I totally did. His real life was far better than his imaginary one though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) I didn't think he was a detective or any other directly investigation related jobs simply because that was the first answer that popped into Lightsong's head. Despite the Returned and "my life to yours" thing, I thought that finding out who he was before dying and Returning, was going to be Lightsong's story arc. I suppose it was, in a way...

wallyrocket Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 This question got me thinking along some different lines. The Returned don't remember anything about their 'previous life,' however, their spirit-web does. It is essentially who they are really. When they Return, they don't look like they did prior to death. Thier bodies are made more perfect images of what is in their spirit-web. One saw himself still as a child and that is how he appeared despite being one of the oldest known Returned. Lightsong subconsiously saw himself as bigger, stronger and more noble looking than he was in his mortal life, because that is who he really was in his spirit-web. This didn't change his past, but his spirit-web convinced him that he was a hero of some sort, because he acutally was; just not the type he assumed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
