Oudeis he/him Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) This is a place to note extraordinary events that happen in every book. Perhaps I'll update the OP with strikethroughs if new books come out without an event occurring. In every book... ...Dalinar catches something impressive which was about to kill him. ...Kaladin turns down a full set of Shards, and they end up belonging to a total jerk. ...Renarin charges bravely into battle to aid at least one over-matched Shardbearer, and does not do much to help. ...Shallan makes a brief trip to Shadesmar (as her mastery becomes greater this might become too commonplace to count). ...Kaladin enters a battle where Adolin is about to be killed/maimed and inhales Stormlight to save him.

Guest Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Kaladin saves Adolin's life by being a badass stormlight infused warrior.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 ...Wit has some deep comment in the epilogue. 5
soulcastJam he/him Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Shallan draws something... This list might get kind of long. 1
king of nowhere Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 two books are a bit early to draw parallels of that sort... 1
Crystin Radiant Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Wit tells Kaladin a story that influences him later in the story. 1
Curiosity he/him Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 We see Axies the Collector studying spren.
Ashiok Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 We see exposed safehands. (Strange that something so scandalous would be so common) 2
Zea mays Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Renarin rushes headlong into the middle of a dangerous fight and... Doesn't really help much. *ducks* Er... Shallan makes a quick trip to shadesmar. 4
Oudeis he/him Posted October 29, 2014 Author Posted October 29, 2014 Yeah, let's try to restrict it to extraordinary or very specific events. So, Renarin charges into a fight and doesn't help is a good one. Shallan drawing something is... not quite what we're looking for. 1

Kaladin is already a Radiant. Why would anyone offer him shards anymore? From now on, anytime he goes about protecting someone, he will be inhaling stormlight openly unless he runs out of spheres. Renarin, even though he is now a Radiant may need help if he zones out forecasting the future during battles.
Aleksiel Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 In every book: members or Bridge Four die; Every plot to kill Dalinar fails, because Kaladin; Shallan admits she has killed someone; Navani makes a new type of fabrial; Dalinar's visions don't really help.
Slater he/him Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Syl convinces people she is a god. Rock encourages it.
Incheoul Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Flashbacks will reveal every books focal character to have had a horrible life
Kyats Rani she/her Posted October 29, 2014 Posted October 29, 2014 Kaladin changes his mind about a certain lighteyes (Dalinar in book 1, Adolin in book 2)
hoser he/him Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Hoid meets someone surprising at the end. Shallan is mentored by a new person. Dalinar leads an army into annihilation and is saved by Radiants Kaladin is depressedimprisoned Jasnah protects herself from a Ghostblood assassination attempt. Mr. T instigates mass slaughter. By the end of the book, Mr. T is leading as many countries as there are books. Szeth commits mass mayhem before being recruited by another organization to commit more mass mayhem. We see Kelek (assuming Kelek is the one talking to Nale in book 2) interact w/one other Herald at the beginning. Eshonai is defeated and injured. The listeners make things much worse for everybody rather than just communicate. Elhokar, while seemingly well-intentioned, has a key moment where he childishly undermines the Kohlin plans. Patterns that I predict will end: Shallan acknowledges to herself for the first time having killed yet another parent. Navani is involved w/a different Kohlin brother. 3
Dhavaer Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Shallan has a paragraph or two of drooling over Jasnah.
