lacrossedeamon Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 Do we know if a second generation singer is born on Nalthis would they be granted a Breath? Would the offspring of Nalthians who previously migrated off world be granted a Breath? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alder24 Posted February 13, 2023 Report Share Posted February 13, 2023 People that are born on Nalthis or on the other planet but both parents have Breaths will get Breath when born: Non-Nathians can ever Return if they are on Nalthis, yet it's unlikely. WoBs Spoiler JoyBlu In order to have a Breath, do you have to be native to Nalthis? Brandon Sanderson Not to be given Breaths, but people who are not native to Nalthis are not born with that Investiture. JoyBlu So, you have to be born on that planet? Brandon Sanderson There are exceptions. Most of the time. JoyBlu If both your parents were Nalthians, and they moved off planet, and they had a child that was born on a different planet— Brandon Sanderson It is possible for that child to have a Breath, but it would not continue too long. But yes, that child would probably have a Breath, depending... Joyblu If both of his parents had Breaths. Brandon Sanderson Mmmhmm. Orem Signing (March 16, 2019) Spoiler Shardlet (paraphrased) If a Scadrian allomancer had a baby with a Nalthian (and the baby was born on Nalthis), could the baby have an original Breath and also be a Natural allomancer? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) It could happen, the baby would have a bit of Preservation and a bit of Endowment. SpoCon 2013 (July 10, 2013) Spoiler OrangeJedi Could a non-native be able to be Returned? Brandon Sanderson Yes, that is possible. JoyBlu So someone who was born without a Breath and came to Nalthis could possibly be Returned? Brandon Sanderson Possibly could be Returned. Yes. That's not very likely. JoyBlu So they could get a Divine Breath, even though never... Brandon Sanderson They could be given a Divine Breath, yes. Orem Signing (March 16, 2019) But question about singers is a RAFO: Spoiler Calderis If a tribe of singers were to worldhop to Nalthis, and live there for a few generations, would their pure singer offspring begin to be born with Breath? Brandon Sanderson RAFO. Good question, though. Excellent question! Skype Q&A (Oct. 8, 2018) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve heard an interesting theory that Shallan has relatively recent Nalthian ancestry that was supposedly confirmed by Brandon off mic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would very much like the to hear the context of that statement! There's a strong theory that she's recently decended from a Cognitive Shadow that is very Similar to a Returned, but vert much not. But frankly I'd just love to learn more about the older, hidden cross-ties from generations of worldhopping. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was said in a thread on cremposting so it could just be a straight up lie but if not it’s definitely interesting. It could explain what attracted Shallan’s mother (I know the other theory you are talking about) to Lin Davar in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightlord Beezus Posted February 14, 2023 Report Share Posted February 14, 2023 HOLY SHARDPLATE THATS BANANAS. I have wondered why Memory is capitalized. I’ve only read Warbreaker once so I’m the least familiar with Nalthis stuff. This is wild if true. Hope it’s not a crempost. The cosmere crossovers get me so pumped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknopathetic he/him Posted February 16, 2023 Report Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Shallan's family was pretty connected. Perhaps the Davars had access to offworld breaths as well as the soulcaster, Skybreaker internships, and the possible seon-box? Or, if the Shallan's mom is a herald thing pans out, perhaps maybe breaths are used to allow a cognitive shadow to have children? Who knows, but very cool!
