Did Nomad Imply that Kaladin is the Stormfather?

[Shadman306]

Reading through The Sunlit Man and noticed that right before Hoid checks in on Sigzil, that Sigzil is expecting Kaladin to be reaching out to him during a storm “like on Roshar”. 

 

Isn’t this something only Dalinar can do as far as we know through RoW? Could this also align with the “son of Tanavast” theories?

Is a Stormfather? No, Stormfather is himself and no other person can be him. Nomad saw a person standing in a storm, wearing a uniform, holding a sphere and that's why he thought it may be Kal. He wasn't expecting to see or meet anyone before that. TSM ch 9:

That was a person standing there, wasn’t it? Holding something that glowed in his fingers, a sphere. Wearing a uniform, facing away from Nomad, looking out through the darkness.
Storms. It couldn’t be. It couldn’t.
Ignoring Auxiliary’s second prompting for an explanation, Nomad walked forward. Haunted by what he might find. Worried that he was going mad. Yet desperate to know. Could it
“Kal?” he asked into the storm.
The figure turned, revealing a hawkish face and an eminently punchable grin.
“Aw, Damnation,” Nomad said with a sigh. “Wit? What the hell are you doing here?”

 

And please, could you edit the title of your topic and exchange Sigzil for Nomad? The title can be seen from the main page of the forum and some might see Sig's name and that may spoil the book for them. Just click the three dot menu on the top right corner of your post and choose the option "edit" - you can change the name there.

Ooohhh, nice catch. No idea, but a lot of folks are looking forward to seeing if Kaladin picks up the Shard of Honor. On the flipside, a lot of people suspect he's going to die though, so we'll just have to see!
