Ghanderflaffle Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I feel like we needed a tribute to Teft here. He was improving so much, quitting the moss, supporting others. This just adds to my Storm Moash ammo. In remembrance of Teft *holds up a candle* 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+robardin Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) I loved how Rlain decided to "do his best Teft impersonation" when settling the respective hashes of the human and Fused factions defending the unconscious Radiants. He swears by Kelek's breath about Venli getting a Nahel Bond before him after all he's been through, then thinks, "Maybe too much Teft." He probably smiled a bit inside picturing Teft's reaction, then died again to see his burned-out eyes on the floor.

Seloun Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 In the end, Teft wins: Quote “Boy likes to grandstand,” Teft said. But storms, it was hard not to feel inspired at the sight of Kaladin framed in the entryway like that in a sharp blue uniform, his hair free, his scars bold and stark on his forehead. Eyes intense enough to pierce the darkest storm. You did good with that one, Teft, he thought—giving himself permission to feel a little pride. You ruined your own life something fierce, but you did good with that one. Phendorana whispered comfort in his ear. She’d shrunk, at his request, and rode on his shoulder. He nodded at the words. If his family hadn’t gotten involved with the Envisagers, he wouldn’t have known how to help Kaladin when he’d needed it. And then the Blackthorn probably would have died, and they wouldn’t have found this tower. So … maybe it was time to let go of what he’d done. Sanderson, Brandon. Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive) . Tom Doherty Associates. Kindle Edition. To paraphrase another author - in the end, all of his pains have been made holy. There was meaning in the things he suffered; if Kaladin flew high, it was ultimately because people like Teft had carried him along the way. "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants,", indeed. And in the end, Teft recognizes it and is proud of what he's done - and lets Kaladin know. Quote Say it, lad! Do it! “I accept it, Stormfather! I accept that there will be those I cannot protect!” Sanderson, Brandon. Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive) . Tom Doherty Associates. Kindle Edition. Teft is dead, but he lives on in the hearts of men. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsdaughter613 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Honor to the Sergeant. Beloved by all, in remembrance raised. Raised in remembrance, by all beloved. Sergeant to Honor. Kavod la Semel. Ahuv la kol, b’zichrono yisromam. Yisromam b’zichrono, la kol ohuv. Semel la Kavod. Alethi is a Semitic language, so I decided to do the ketek in Hebrew too. Bonus: Semel means both Sergeant and symbol in modern Hebrew. Inspired by @Karger I loved your ketek so much I had to write my own. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 I wrote a ketek - my first - in honor of Teft. It's not very good, but I'd like to share it. Windrunner of honor, his strength remembered. Remember his strength, honor the runner of winds. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malim Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I wish I could draw. I have an image in my head of Teft and Phendorana together in the beyond.

Toaster Retribution Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Teft was awesome, and shall be missed. I loved his quote about how it is a sergeants duty to be a coward as well. This one: "Every good sergeant is a coward! And proud of it! Someone needs to talk some sense to the officers!"

Before passing on, the Stormfather brought Teft over to see Kaladin swear his Fourth Ideal, and Teft was able to give him the encouragement he needed, right before he left for the Beyond. I've seen that idea around, but the problem is that Teft was killed with a Shardblade. Shardblades mess you up on all three realms; Wyndle notes in Edgedancer that it's hard to revive a shardvictim unless you get to it immediately. I don't know whether being Shardbladed to death cancels out the lingering effects of dying Invested; I find myself suspecting it does. And I don't even know if Teft counted as dying Radiant, since he had no spren left. That being said, I could be wrong, and it's a nice image. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+robardin Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I couldn’t help it, i went back today to reread parts of The Way of Kings to “see” Teft alive again. Quote “I don’t like this,” Teft said, glancing over his shoulder at the group of soldiers. “I’m going back to the camp.” “You will be staying,” Rock growled. Teft rolled his eyes. “You think I’m scared of a lumbering chull like you? I’ll go if I want to, and—” “Teft,” Kaladin said softly. “We need you.” Need. That word had strange effects on men. Some ran when you used it. Others grew nervous. Teft seemed to long for it. Storms, Teft. They’ll always still need you. But you were there when you were needed the most. Sergeant of Honor, indeed. And did everyone notice Teft’s Connection to Kaladin as he reached the Fourth Ideal? Quote “Besides,” he whispered, “I know the Words.” Say them, Tien whispered. “I have always known these Words.” Say it, lad! Do it! “I accept it, Stormfather! I accept that there will be those I cannot protect!” Kelek’s breath, lad, you can do it! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lecky Twig Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Man, Teft was one of my favourite characters and I honestly wouldn't of minded if he reached his forth ideal before Kal . I really related to him and I had a super strong emotional response to many of his scenes. His funeral scene was a real punch in my guts because his epic funeral showed how loved he was by the other characters and it was revealed just how much he exaggerated his own stuff-ups. I still sob sometimes when I think too much about Teft's story or see a good fannart of him, even though it's been over 2 months since I read RoW. (I would of made a new thread for this comment, but that is a scary thing to do.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
