Sylphrena-Stormborn she/her Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 I think that Zahel might be Vasher-so that's another worldhopper apart from hoid So its possible for peoplefrom Nathas to jump to Roshar but chronologically how many years after warbreaker are the stormlight archives set? also if vasher needs breath to survive, can stormlight be a substitute? Same to draw nightblood. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted June 21, 2014 Report Share Posted June 21, 2014 Welcome to the Forums! You are correct, Zahel is Vasher. The running theory right now is that the Shardpools are used to travel between worlds using the cognitive realm. I believe that the chronology right now has Warbreaker 200 years before the events of WoK. We also have some WoB (Words of Brandon) on the other two questions: Q: How long has Zahel been slumming it on Roshar?A: For quite a long time, on this planet he can get something quite easily that is much harder to get where he came from. Q: Would Vasher be able to use Stormlight in the same way that he can get Breath?A: That would not be immediately easy, but Stormlight could feed Nightblood. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melaan Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I think the other side of that question is WHY is he there? You'd think he'd have enough problems on his own world without jumping over and dealing with all Roshar's problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylphrena-Stormborn she/her Posted June 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 i have a feeling a lot of things are going to come to a head in Roshar.With Odium shattering so many shards AND being trapped in one place,this could be an opportunity to either shatter Odium or combine it with Cultivation.so i guess a lot of people are interested in it? There are also ten books planned for the stormlight archives-which is the largest so far apart from the mistborn series. Another (unanswerable) question is what happened to Vivenna? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 I think he's there mostly because of how easy it is to get investiture. I personally think Ivis is Vivenna. What better disguise for someone who's hair changes color than to join a religion that requires you to be bald? Combine that with the fact that she's a weapon's master who appears to be friends with Zahel and you've got yourself a princess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbreaker is supposed to be 200 before WoK iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim he/him Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 But would Vivenna be still alive? Warbreaker is supposed to be 200 before WoK iirc. Well, we have no idea what will occur in Nightblood. It is conceivable that she could Return or otherwise achieve immortality/prolonged life in it. Though I would personally be kind of annoyed/disappointed if such were to occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yahas he/him Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Didn't having a certain amount of breath make one functionally immortal, anyway? Fifth heightening, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Agelessness: At the Fifth Heightening, an Awakener’s resistance to aging and disease reaches its maximum strength. These persons are immune to most toxins, including the effects of alcohol, and most physical ailments. (Such as headaches, diseases, and organ failure.) The person no longer ages, and becomes functionally immortal.http://brandonsanderson.com/warbreaker-ars-arcanum/ Edited June 23, 2014 by EMTrevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksiel Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Didn't she give her Breaths away? Edited June 23, 2014 by Aleksiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifth of Daybreak he/him Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Didn't she give her Breaths away? Vasher would also need to find a steady income of breath anyways, he seems to know how to find it. Once they get to Roshar, they can jury rig the stormlight to work get the requisite breath threshold. So I don't remember if she did or not, but there's 200 years between then and now, plenty of time to make up for it if she did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zea mays she/her Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Do you have a source for that 200 years figure? I'm just curious. ^Thanks Aleskiel! Edited June 23, 2014 by Zea mays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeiryWriter he/him Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 (edited) Here I *really* wouldn't use that as proof of anything, there is a reason the 200 years figure is not on the actual Chronology page.

Cheese Ninja he/him Posted June 25, 2014 Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 Note: WeiryWriter meant to write "would not use" instead of "would uses". I hope Vivi is still around somewhere, and the requisite amount of Breaths would have been enough to make her immortal. I was wondering if her and Vasher might have ending up having a kid though. Maybe Vasher got her preggers and freaked out and Worldhopped away, and she'll show up in the SA wanting a hundred-something years of child support money. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm imagining a bad sitcom set in the Cosmere. "As the Galaxy Turns." Will Vasher and Vivi get bagck together? What will Truthwatcher the Faithful do when she discovers that Headclogged the Bold is cheating on her with Housebreaker the Beautiful? And what dark secret is Annie hiding, and why is it related to her new piercings and her newly revealed ability to burn Steel? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnshard Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Vasher lost Nightblood. It is not unreasonable to think he lost Viviana as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood Swangin he/him Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Vasher is going to awaken dead sprenblades which is why he is the swordmaster and Adolin refuses to name his blade. He's gonna bring that bitch back to life! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxal she/her Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Vasher is going to awaken dead sprenblades which is why he is the swordmaster and Adolin refuses to name his blade. He's gonna bring that bitch back to life! I like that. it would wrap up nicely why he chose to become Adolin's swordmaster, but Adolin not naming his blade is just Adolin being Adolin. I doubt Zahel told him to behave this way. Adolin is plenty perspective on his own and he kept saying how he felt his blade was alive, somehow.
