Posted July 19, 2021 I have a theory that I don't know If it has been addressed. There was a stone or something whose voice was heard by szeth in his youth. Could the stone have been one of the unmade? Especially ba-ado? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 I think the Oathstone has been confirmed not to be magical. Lemme see if I can find it.

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Good question, I don't believe anyone has asked it before. No, an Oathstone doesn't have any magical properties whatsoever. The question wasn’t the same but I think the answer is conclusive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you’re referencing the scene I think, we’re never told the voice from his youth came from a stone. From OB 92: Quote “I knew a voice like yours once, sword-nimi.” The whispers? “No. A single one, in my mind, when I was young.” Szeth shaded his eyes, looking across the glistening lake. “I hope things go better this time.” That said, it’s possible an Unmade could have been involved somehow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 I may be wrong but somewhere there is something in oathbringer or row about a talking rock 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was not taking about oathstone I am talking about something else, maybe before szeth was truthless 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 @Pratyaksh please don't post multiple time in a row without womeone else posting. And If it's an unmade it's more likely to be Dai-Gonalthis or Chemorish than Ba-Ado-Mishram 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 19, 2021 1 hour ago, Pratyaksh said: I may be wrong but somewhere there is something in oathbringer or row about a talking rock Yeah, in that same chapter as the quote I posted above, Nightblood kinda mockingly refers to Szeth’s oathstone as a magic rock: Quote “I was sworn to obey.” By a magic rock. He had explained his past to the sword several times now. For some reason, it had difficulty understanding—or remembering—certain things. I don’t recall any reference to a talking rock though. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is talking about the first spren he was about to bond. That which led to him being named truthless. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 20, 2021 We don't know for sure, but often the most simple options turns out to be the right one. Which doesn't mean I would be surprised if it turned out to be an Unmade wispering to Szeth. I'm still waiting for a possible Unmade Radiant. This could lead to awesome powers only matched by those of a Bondsmith. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
