Where is Rysn going?

[Blackroot]

In interlude 15, Rysn meets Hoid and concludes that she needs to flee and hide. She decides that she doesn't have to give up on her ship because of its new capacity.

I have two thoughts on where she went, one unlikely but I think more fun, and one more likely and still fun.

Overall, I think she will upgrade the Wandersail with fabriols combining the Fourth Bridge and her chair.

Destination one: Rysn has built the first space ship. Thaylan vacuum and diving equipment are already established in world, and it is a logical leap that Rysn could develop space proof cabins. Additionally, I'd be interested in the speeds a ship is capable of achieving when seeing the planet move in a different frame of reference. Downside A, no stormlight would leave them drifting in space. Downside B, sublight speeds would mean she can't get far.

Destination two: Shadesmar. Very similar story to the adaptations to the Wandersail, but not going to space. Would be less fun than spaceflight, but the end of stormlight would be less of an issue.

Thoughts?

Space? In a wooden ship? Not possible.

I think she's going towards the Origin, or through Odium's perpendicularity out of Roshar forever (as Sleepless epigraphs suggest they all gather there for some reason).

[Inevitability]

Agreed. I think the Origin

[Little_Dagger she/her]

Do you think Rysn and her ship crew are the ones the death rattle about bringing light from the sea is about?

[Blackroot]

Nothing intrinsically wrong with wood in space, but the cabins would need to be metal and glass. As mentioned before, we have seen Thaylan vacuum tech so if anyone were going to do it, it would be them. And I can't help but love the fantasy meets sci-fi of a wooden ship in space.

Having said all that, the origin of storm or Shadesmar via perpendicularity do seem much more likely, but one can live in hope.

I assumed that Rysn would leave the planet. Otherwise, Odium is eventually going to notice the magical superweapon that exists on his planet, and then poor Ryan is done for.

The crew of the Wandersail are the Sailors on an infinite sea CONFIRMED???

Sisko made the trip from Bajor to Cardassia in a wooden ship he built by hand, so...

Didn’t Ishar basically confirm that there was nothing to see on the islands in the story of the Wandersail?  He said he went looking and didn’t find anything, and as far as a being with powers and abilities to find things, you’d think he’d know.  I was hoping to learn what “the Origin” was in this, but now that the storms have changed forever, I don’t know that it matters anymore.
