Renarin Kholin he/him Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 In the most recent minis kickstarter update, they announced a mini for a character called Zellion. My best guess is that this is El, the Fused we briefly see at the end of RoW. If it is a Stormlight character like I assume, they certainly look like a Fused. What do you think? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windwatcher24 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 I think that seems like a reasonable guess. I certainly assume that it's a Stormlight character, given that the Kickstarter is specifically for Stormlight minis. El is a good guess. Either that or Dalinar defeats TOdium somehow in book 5 and this is the new big bad for books 6-10 (which could be El, come to think of it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dra7xel Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 Might be the big bad for book 5. Szeth and Kaladin are going to need a challenge. That or maybe it’s Odiums new champion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timefortim Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 It's gotta be El just because of the horns and what is likely metal carapace armour. Leshwi and Rabonial aren't badies anymore, we need a new fused big bady that's willing to work with new odium. If not El than definitely a new fused to replace the pursuer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnmish Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 As Zellion is included in the RoW pack, it's reasonable to assume they're *in* RoW rather than introduced in book 5. So that does certainly make it a lot more likely to be El than anyone else we've seen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknopathetic he/him Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) My money is on Evil Dalinar's new name much like how Moash got the new name Vasher Vyre None of this will be a spoiler. The kickstarter wont give details on who Zellion is, and then we wont learn about Dalinar's new name until the end of SP5. Or as a slight variation, Adolin will take Dalinar's place as the new Zellion (which has been vaguely forshadowed maybe) Edit: Wrote Vasher instead of Vyre Edited October 14, 2022 by teknopathetic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Harrycrapper Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 I'd say we'll at least know whether Zellion is human or Singer/Fused whenever we get a good look 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can a human cognitive shadow enter a Singer body to become a fused? Also, Shardplate could hide a lot.

StormingTexan he/him Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Another image released. I am guessing this is Odium's champion.

Windrunner88 Posted October 14, 2022 Report Share Posted October 14, 2022 I have a feeling Dalinar ends up becoming Trell. EL could be short for Zellion, so I'd lean more in favor of that being his true identity 21 hours ago, teknopathetic said: My money is on Evil Dalinar's new name much like how Moash got the new name Vasher Vyre None of this will be a spoiler.

Medium he/they Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 My first thought was Zellion was Odium's Champion (bc Dalinar said no in Oathbringer), and I still hope that be the case. Other than that, I have no oidea who Zellion is, but I love his design. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Dalinar, do any paper copy people have a description of when the Stormfather was turned into a blade in Oathbringer? Would be interesting to compare. I’m an audiobook person so can’t be too helpful. Edited October 16, 2022 by teknopathetic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt something he could touch, something beyond places. The power that bound worlds together. His power. Wait, the Stormfather said. This is not right! Dalinar ignored him, reaching beyond and pulling power through. Something bright white manifested in his hand, and he rammed it into the keyhole. The Stormfather groaned, a sound like thunder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily the sword's actual color. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think he was referring to the color but not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Silverlight Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 Looking at the sword's hilt, its design is very much like the Windrunners' glyph. It's not exactly the same, but quite similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Why Kaladin? Posted October 18, 2022 Report Share Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) The swords shape is very similar to Ishar's Honorblade with the wavy texture as far as I can see. Ishar's Honorblade is the first to the left. Edited October 18, 2022 by Why Kaladin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El_Gryphon Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) This was recently brought to my attention by someone on reddit. During the Rhythm of War release party Brandon did some readings from unpublished novels. One of them was "The Sixth Incarnation of Pandora". The main character in this book is an immortal super soldier that has had his body augmented by technology. The reason I bring this up is because the main characters name is Zellion! Now Brandon wrote this waaay back in the day, so I doubt that the Zellion in this story is going to be copy/pasted to the Zellion we will see soon. However, it is definitely an interesting connection that I think could lead to some interesting theorizing Link to WoB Link to Youtube video Brandon starts talking about it around 27:30 Edited October 21, 2022 by El_Gryphon Unfinished 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NerdyAarakocra Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 Notably the hilt of Zellion's shardblade looks a little like the windrunner glyph. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
