Adamkarma he/him Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Quote "Did you know we were considering bonding this nice cobbler man instead of you? A very kindly man who took care of children. I could have lived quietly, helping him, making shoes. I could have done an entire display of shoes!" -Wyndle to Lift (Edgedancer chapter 4) The cobbler is Ym from the interlude in WoR. Isn't he? That means that Ym was an Edgedancer.

mathiau he/him Posted October 10, 2022 Report Share Posted October 10, 2022 Ym is the cobbler from the interlude but he was a Truthwatcher, not an Edgedancer Also, Wyndle said that to Lift and not Rysn 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theirs much overlap what people can bond. I could easily see Dalinar as a stoneward, navani as a elsecaller, and book 1,2 kaladin as a skybreaker 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He nearly broke out of prison in WoR & also conspired to kill the king. Yet conspiracing to kill the king wasn't what damaged his Bond with Syl, it was promising that he would protect Elhokar and then breaking his promise. I never thought Kaladin to be a Skybreaker. My opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally both should be Lawful Good, with Skybreaker being a bit more lawful than Windrunners. Current day Skybreakers are indeed LN though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current day Skybreakers are indeed LN though I thought so too, but Kal didn't hesitate to break whatever rules he needed to in the name of protecting people as a slave, or in either military career. Skybreakers seem like right or wrong, they will follow the letter of the law without question 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skybreakers seem like right or wrong, they will follow the letter of the law without question Lawful Good persons break laws when the laws are too evil, they just do it a last resort. Also what Szeth's spren say in his interlude in RoW imply the relationship between the law and Skybreaker is much weaker than you think 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
