He's going to be in Urithiru which is now fully functional, Odium has so far only been able to speak to people connected to him and all but maybe once, they where already halfway between realms or in the Everstorm. i assume there will be a way. Maybe there’s a spy in the tower. Maybe Gavinor will go on a walk, details are irrelevant because it’s very possible for Taravangian to reach him if he wants to. He doesn’t need to talk to him personally 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejarden Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 Humans fought on the side of the Enemy a lot. And with the amount of refugees coming in it would be laughabley easy to get into Urithuru undetected. And from there it’s only a small step to get close to Gavinor and his governess and start talking, planting some seeds and cultivating a hatred for Dalinar. Everyone will be extremely busy preparing and he will be practically alone if anyone can do it Taravangian can 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bejarden Posted April 25, 2021 Report Share Posted April 25, 2021 I mean they’ll notice. But with everything going on who cares that someone is talking to Gavinor. I doubt the Governess will take any initiative to stop someone from talking. And there may be ways to stop the Sibling from hearing what’s going on, maybe some arrangements of Aluminum It would make some great part one interludes and some chapters 3 minutes ago, Frustration said: All the ethnic groups that are right now will stand out It’s very possible that a few Alethi will defect.

I fixed it Quote Calm down. I'm calm, just annoyed Quote So what proof do you have that Dalinar finds a 5 year old to young to fight. He's a good person Quote He can’t be a champion because he won’t be willing, that was the point.

And no it does not seem very possible, not even plausible. Odium could have spies in the tower, Iri people saying they fled from Odium for example.

Odium and Dalinar have to follow both the words and the spirit of the contract, and the spirit of the contract say to use actual warriors that were not tricked into fighting this duel Quote A mature 5 year old can grasp concepts, and Gavinor is a mature boy Yes. Not that grasping concept is enough to qualify as a willing champion Quote Why would he spend all his time evesdropping on random 2 minute conversation Gavinor has They can definitely check on more than one part of the tower at once (the Sibling is a "they" by the way) Quote He would whisper while playing with blocks. I'm not sure even Kaladin would be allowed to do that Quote All I saying is that it’s possible someone can talk to Gavinor and it’s possible that someone could be a spy I'm saying it's impossible Anyway, a question we should have asked ourselves far earlier, what purpose would sending Gavinor fight fulfil for Todium? It might force a draw (remember that Todium can't know whether Dalinar would kill Gavinor to save the world or not) but a draw is not what Todium wants, he wants to win. He will probably send a champion that would be able to force a draw instead of letting Dalinar win, but he will definitely send a champion that has a chance of winning.
