Wyndle Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Could the monks from Dakhor be another form of the so-called "voidbringers" present in another part of the cosmere? They have the same ridged bone structure as the voidbringers in Words of Radiance and seem to sorta transform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terisen he/him Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 It seems unlikely to me. The monks seem to be using a form of the Dor that shapes their skeleton into a shape, similar to the shapes of the Aons. Also, while not truly confirmed (that I know of) the Dakhor is probably through Dominion, whereas the Voidbringers are from Odium. Now, that being said, we know Odium DID go to Sel and maybe there's some common thread there. But I still don't quite see it as being the same.

But I still don't quite see it as being the same. For some reasons I really like this idea. We know that Odium tried to avoid investing himself on the planets he visited, but while he destroyed Dominion some of his power "leaked" and attached itself to the Skaze resulting in some similarities between Voidbringers and Dakhor Monks. Yeah, this idea is prettu farfetched and ultimately non very significative, but i really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this WoB seems to point against that: sufficientlyadvanced It says that it's dangerous to travel to Shadesmar on Sel. Why? Brandon Sanderson It has to do with the Dor and the lack of an entity controlling much of the power Odium left in his wake on Sel. Phantine Woah, that's interesting. I had no idea Odium left little bits of his power on Sel... I guess it kinda makes sense for evil monks to be powered by pure hate, though. Brandon Sanderson Odium did not leave his power behind, one should note. He left several other powers which are now, to a large extent, mindless...
