Allomantic Beats and Rhythms


Kendelian

Recommended Posts

We know that the burning a metal will produce Allomantic pulses which can be sensed by a bronze misting. We also know that the listeners attune Rhythms. So, is there a correlation between the two, and could a seeker sense the Rhythms of Roshar?

Yes, they can sense tones of Roshar

Can an Allomantic bronze burner hear the Rhythms on Roshar?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, this is possible.

Allomantic pulses are closly related to Preservation, Rhythms on Roshar are related to Honor, Cultivation and Odium, but on Roshar they're manifesting in a specific way.

Is that tone and rhythm stuff universal to the Shards and Investiture elsewhere?

Brandon Sanderson

The tones can be expanded to other Shards and Invested Arts around the cosmere.

Are the Allomantic pulses a Seeker hears (like drum beats) related to the tones of Preservation, then?

Brandon Sanderson

Yes, they are.

Questioner

If a Parshendi were to attain Allomancy and burn Bronze, how would they feel about the Bronze pulses?

Brandon Sanderson

They would feel that they were somewhat familiar but a little odd.

The Rhythms, Pure Tones, and pulses that Seekers sense are all different manifestation of the same property of Investiture. The Pulses that Vin sensed from the Well of Ascension was Preservation's Pure Tone. 

Rhythms that Singers sense seem to be tied at least in part to Cognitive aspects, primarily emotional, but there does seem to be a more primal aspect to it as well considering there are non emotion related Rhythms they mention. 

Seekers on the other hand are aligned to Kinetic Investiture and what that Investiture is doing. Something Singers don't seem to be able to sense
