Perhaps the sword Adolin is holding is the same type or even the same one? Good point but would she give it to Adolin. I dont think so. 18 minutes ago, Goatbringer said: That's my thought as well. Maybe I'm colourblind, but doesn't that hair look silver rather than golden-blonde with dark flecks? Could this be someone with the royal locks of Idris? The rainbow only furthered that suspicion. So you dont think its Adolin. Could it be another world hopper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it would cool. The hair definitely looks silver or Gray. Could Adloin not be Dalinar's son and his father be a world hopper and now Adloin finds out he has the ability to use breath hahah that's a crazy idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovation Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Adolin seems to have Breath. I highly doubt that what he is wielding is an Awakened sword. As for his hair, what could be a better disguise? Lightweaving his hair to change colors and people will associate Adolin with silver hair, rather then blond and black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never a big fan of have one get's the breaths. Could he take the breath from the fused and would that even work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innovation Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Only people from Nalthis have Breath, so I don’t think the Fused would. Adolin could have gotten it from a Worldhopper somehow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that explain why his brother's bond with his spren is different. Man soooo ma y questions 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man soooo ma y questions What I’m saying is that Adolin may have gained some Breaths somehow, possibly to the 3rd or 4th, maybe even 5th Heightening. That would explain his aura of color. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could that explain why his brother's bond with his spren is different. Man soooo ma y questions Only people from Nalthis are born with Breath. Anyone from anywhere can use Breath. Being from Nalthis wouldn't have any particular benefit over anyone else in that regard. They're only ever born with 1 Breath and it takes many Breaths to do anything with it. Everyone who uses Breath has to get it in the same way, from a lot of other people born on Nalthis. The only advantage related to Nalthis is if you're actually on Nalthis because that's where most of the Breath is. Anyone from anywhere has exactly the same advantages as long as they're on Nalthis. Actually someone from Nalthis is at a bit of a disadvantage in some sense because someone from elsewhere could lose their Breath with no drawbacks while a Nalthis native becomes a Drab without their Breath. Also, I don't think someone with Nalthis ancestry born on another planet would have Breath either. I'm pretty sure it's literally whether you're born on Nalthis or not because Breath comes from the Shard Endowment that is located on Nalthis. I could definitely be wrong, though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diomedes Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Shallan looks uneasy or disturbed. This could point towards her character arc in RoW. She also holds up a (black?) sphere. I don`t know what to do with this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't drabs actually normal people everywhere else, but since they're so used to having Breath, they feel so different? Also, about the cover, call me crazy but that doesn't look like a sword to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really would have loved to see Adolins shard blade on the cover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Silver Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 One interesting thing we learned last time our heroes were in Shadesmar, is that stormlight is valuable. With Dalinar being able to renew Stormlight, our heroes could certainly buy whatever they want. Weren't there swords for purchase at one of the markets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innovation Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 It could be possible that the light bellow Adolin is some kind of Spren, or the effect of some kind of Spren. However, I still think it is Breath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goatbringer Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 The more I'm thinking of it, the more I'm sure that it's an Awakened sword. If you look at it, it looks like the rainbow on the rock is coming out of the tip of the sword and there's nowhere else in the picture that has a rainbow aesthetic. Considering how integral the rainbow or the aspect of 'colour' in general is to Nalthis, I don't think this is a coincidence. It also looks bigger and more ornate than any other kind of basic broadsword that Adolin would take into Shadesmar. I'm excited about the possibilities! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something similar to the heavenly ones spears. I know that's completely opposite what you were just saying but I was just looking at this sword some more and I just thought of this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That part I'm not sure about. But either Nalthis natives have a disadvantage or there's no difference. Being a Nalthis native isn't a benefit on its own is the main point I was getting at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
