therunner Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 So in RoW Kaladin duels Zahel, who uses Awakening to Awaken sheets and use them in a fight. Notably though, he never makes audible Commands during the entire fight. Which means he must have been Awakening mentally, which means he must be of 10th Heightening at minimum, and so must have 50 000+ Breathes. Which raises question, where did he get them?. Did he steal Peacegivers Treasure? Is that why Azure is after him? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSuperLee Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Sorry to burst your bubble, but Sanderson has commented on this: Quote asmodeus Just as a point of clarification, was Vasher physically articulating his Commands in this chapter, or is he capable of bypassing that need, for whatever reason? (skill, Heightening, etc.) Brandon Sanderson You can assume he whispered each Command as he gave them. Rhythm of War Preview Q&As (Oct. 13, 2020) I know that's a lot less exciting and seems kind of cheap, but that is the answer we have been given. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to read that fight. Did Vasher awaken at a range in that fight? That requires the 9th heightening and from what we see of the God King that is far more intuitive than silent Awakening. As soon as Sus was able to speak he awakened everything in that joint with ranged Awakening. He didn't know he could do it without his tongue or else he would have destroyed everyone at range already. I think if Vasher was truly that high heightening there would have been a big flashing sign of him using some ranged awakenings. I am curious why Vivenna is after him as well though. I think him not having nightblood at the moment is a big issue though. That is a lot of power to allow to float around a world where people are after power. Though it does make perfect sense for a skybreaker to be using it and I think nightblood would be at home with a weilder who has a very black and white view of what is okay and what is evil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will attempt to finish off TLM today and tomorrow via audible but stormlight might have to wait for a new job and more drive time. I won't lie... I keep searching for some epic YouTube reading of this fight. I have listened to kaladin getting 3rd oath a few hundred times by now... so I need some new epic fight to listen to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I tried but failed to search for WoB. That makes sense, though still leaves completly open why did Vasher run away and Vivenna is chasing him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
