feruchemicalrockband Posted October 28, 2024 Posted October 28, 2024 For a while I've been wondering why Renarin will be joining Shallan, Dalinar and Navani in the Spiritual Realm, as it seems it would make more sense for him to be with the coalition actively working against Odium's future sight. With the recent reveal that enlightened spren can help guide people in the spiritual realm it makes a lot more sense. I wonder what mechanism allows enlightened spren to do this. Perhaps because they are touched by 3 shards instead of 2 they have a greater connection to the spiritual? I was hoping for a second that this would lead to one of Shallan's Cryptics becoming enlightened, as we haven't seen an enlightened Cryptic yet. Maybe it could help Testament recover. 5

Given that time is weird in the Spiritual Realm, I think the fact that corrupted mistspren can see through time is relevant here. Also, I'm hoping we get to delve into Renarin's relationship with Dalinar as this occurs. He's repressing the fact that his dad killed his mom pretty damn hard, and I'm hoping that soul shenanigans mean he has to confront that. Especially since Dalinar will likely be shuffling offscreen in one way or another.

Maybe it could help Testament recover. This^. I have a feeling that Shallan will have some weird stuff happening in the next book. Also, in the contract with Odium, how will corrupted spren fit in? the spren use odium's power (it is implied), but if someone is acting against odium, how will that affect the contract? Could that be a loophole? If Renarien takes control of, say, thelania, then Odium (not teravangium; ODIUM) has some control of the country. Would that satisfy the contract? Not saying it will (Highly doubt it), but it is a thought
