Renarin's Weird Box Thing


Recommended Posts

So, in Words of Radiance, when Adolin and Kaladin emerge from jail, Bridge 4 and Renarin greet them. Of course, Renarin immediately runs to his brother. Then, the book says this...

Renarin was there in his Bridge Four uniform, and he immediately joined his brother, speaking to him quietly in a jovial way, though he had out his little box that he liked to fidget with. 

I've heard of fidget cubes, but I didn't think they had them on Roshar. 

What do you guys think it is?

I think there’s another WoB out there but I cant find it right now. Basically its not magical or anything, it just helps him cope with his anxiety.

So I heard that, like, in *inaudible* you have people with mental health issues. Like Kaladin had depression. And I was just curious if you're going to do something like with Renarin.

Renarin has anxiety. Amongst other things. He kind of got the grab bag of mental disorders. Poor hand. But yeah. I might dig into anxiety a little bit more. Do you know someone with anxiety?

Yeah, if you watch Renarin he's got his little fidget box and things like that.

Can Glys, Renarin’s spren, be a box?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased)

The box is not his spren.
