+Oltux72 he/him Posted December 30, 2022 Posted December 30, 2022 Let's talk about aethers. Aethers raise a fundamental question by existing. Why do you want aviars so badly? They may give you more abilities, but fundamentally a small bud in your skin is just more convinient in everyday life. It seems to me that TLM explains that. The aviar comes without a connection to a superbeing whose interests and standards may conflict with yours. But I am going out on a limb and speculate why Hoid is in SP#1. The planet is a source of unbound aether buds due to a group of core aethers having gone insane and rogue.
ftl Posted December 31, 2022 Posted December 31, 2022 Yeah, that's a big part of Aethers. (stormlight archive spoilers) Spoiler Brandon's said that's the distinction he intends between Aether bond and spren bonds. Radiants each bond their own individual spren to get powers even if there are multiple people with the same TYPE of spren. Whereas everyone who bonds an aether of a particular type is literally bonding to the same entity. it's going to lead to a very different relationship between the person and their magic system. The person needs their aether bond much more than the aether needs each individual person/(minion).
lacrossedeamon Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Well you were right about the crazed Aethers but it seemed that Hoid didn't care much about them. He probably did get containers full of spores as a bonus just like we see him with Taldain sand but he was probably on Lumar only because of the Sorceress.
