Dancer Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) We know that there is Spren that live in the sea so is it possible that the Parshendi, if they attract the right Spren could transform into a Merman type form. If this is possible I could imagine a scenario were a group of Parshendi go sick of all the constant desolation's and escaped to the sea were the Fused and Heralds wouldn't be able to find them.

Toaster Retribution Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Aquaman = Parshendi confirmed. Honestly, sounds plausible to me. Might be the ones who Puuli is waiting for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Yup I would not be surprised if there were more than one group that decided that their ancestors were crazy and they just wanted to escape from desolations.. already their forms grant them Inhuman abilities like jumping across chasms, I don’t see why not the ability to breathe under water.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Posted November 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 I wounder, would they communicate using ocean songs set to the Rhythms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Seems plausible. Maybe even a plot point of the novella Wandersail? Edited November 23, 2019 by Honorless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aon Tia Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) Hmm.. the ones that pulli interlude talks about, may be.. They are supposed to come from the sea!! Yup agreed with @Toaster Retribution Edited November 23, 2019 by The traveller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wander89 Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Communicate using whistles and clicks like dolphins yet look as amphibious as Abe Sapien? That's an idea I can get behind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 (edited) It's a great idea, but that civilization can't be too huge since that would manifest Roshar's Shadesmar to a notable degree and 1) it doesn't look that way on the map and 2) it wouldn't be a secret to the spren and worldhoppers - which would also include the Heralds and Fused, in a way.

This was the 1st thing I wondered about when I saw this topic. I honestly don't see any reason why this couldn't work. Well maybe one, on a world of mostly ocean can you imagine what the sea predators are like? Anyway was wondering how this might show up in Shadesmar considering that water = obsidian there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
continuumg Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Perhaps sections of ocean inhabited by intelligent life would manifest as ocean still in the cognitive realm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NameIess Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Here's a WoB about ocean civilizations: Quote Questioner If you're an aquatic civilization on Roshar, would the oceans match the oceans? ...Because of all the spheres... Brandon Sanderson Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've never been asked that before. That's an excellent question... I think it would have some weird different manifestation in Shadesmar, depending on their culture, and the way they view the world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they just swim around in schools always moving instead of staying in one spot. I would assume the populations wouldn't be that big because, you know, the massive sea predictors that live in the ocean's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
