Isilel Posted December 18, 2024 Posted December 18, 2024 We have been told that number 4 is a "strong" number. So: 4 Aspects of Adonalsium, 4 Dawnshards, 4 moons, 4 people directly touched by Cultivation (including Taln), 4 ancient spren of Adonalsium? I mean, we have heard about only 3 - Wind, Night and Stone, but given how intrinsic symmetry is to Roshar there must have been 4, right? The Horneaters worshipped spren of stone, trees and water, so maybe one of the latter? Most likely water? Or Water? 2
LewsTherinTelescope Posted December 21, 2024 Posted December 21, 2024 A god of the Sea would make sense, it or the Day are pretty much the only things left on the same level as the Stone, the Wind, and the Night to be a fourth god. The Horneater stories are a good point in favor of the Sea, though chapter 43 might instead suggest the Day was once worshiped (curiously also references trees again): Quote "Adonalsium," the femalen singer agreed, still working. "Will come back for us. Until then, we have the Wind, the Stone, the spren. The life of trees and light of day. That is what we should worship." 3
