Popular Post Necessary Eagle Posted November 29, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Guys, guys, I just realized something. What happens at the climax of Edgedancer? Lift reaches her next Ideal and Nale is forced to admit he's been kind of crazypants. In other words, a Radiant swears an Oath and the Herald in her vicinity has a moment of lucidity! Sneaky Brandon, slipping that bit of foreshadowing right past us. 45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamwa1ker Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Ooh this is a really good one! Speaking of - have we seen this any other time this happened? Didn't Taln have some burst of lucidity in other books - Oathbringer for sure. But I'm unsure if it was before or after Szeth said his oath, and Teft was at the Tower when he said his. Also - could the Heralds be going insane so bad because of the Recreance, and no one was swearing Oaths anymore? Could having more and more Radiants swearing help the Heralds? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He became lucid when Dalinar said his oath. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danex Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Daaaaaaang. Every time I think we’ve found everything there is to know... There really is always another secret, isn’t there? Brandon is a genius. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvothe the Bloodless Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Sanderson proves yet again that there is always another door to open, always another secret to be found. Just think of all the planning and whatnot that had to take place in order to be able to connect everything together and to foreshadow another mystery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at this from a writer's perspective, not for theory crafting, I have to say that the analysis of his foreshadowing has really taught me a lot, and this just proves it once again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunu’anaki Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 Wow. This makes me believe even more strongly that Dalinar will find a way to reforge the Oathpact or bring the Herald's back to their senses in some way in book 5. 2 hours ago, Cheyenne Sedai said: definitely.

I have my theory for this, but it's based on the parallels with WOT mostly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaRegia Posted January 13, 2021 Report Share Posted January 13, 2021 STORM it... now I want to go back and read every instance in every novel where someone swears a new Ideal and see if there's a Herald around, and, conversely, every scene with a Herald and correlate Radiants swearing Ideals. I don't have TIME for this! I have WORK to do LOL Nicely done, @Necessary Eagle ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
