The Sleepless Reformation of Adonalsium (IotE Update)

[+GreyHive]

Four years ago, I posted my end-of-the-cosmere theory, which can be found here.  With the release of Isles of the Emberdark, we've now got a TON more information about the Sleepless. I share to get feedback, both affirming and constructive!

Supporting my theories:

• In the furthest point in the timeline of the Cosmere, Sleepless are found on most of the prominent planets (Roshar, Scadrial, Lumar, 1st of the Sun, The Grand Aparatus, Komashi).
  • Similar to Thanos in the first Saga of Avengers movies, they are hinted at, but never the main villian.
• The Sleepless have the capability to travel in the physical realm between planets.
• The Sleepless "prefer to influence behind the scenes" and have been placed in positions of power (like a spy for the Malwish emporer)
• The Sleepless anatomy includes a critical weakness, with Memory and Processor nodes that are limited in number, restricted by distance and a way "perma-kill". For them to become the big bad, there needs to be a way for the heroes to win.
• Chrysalis describes herself as a God.
• The Sleepless can be really old (6,000 years), giving them a longer horizon to implement plans.

Detracting from my theories:

• Nothing concrete. 

This book has my excitement about this theory turned up to 11! Admittedly, I am mostly locked in on:

• The Sleepless will be the way Adonalsium reforms.
• Autonomy will play a role.

 

TYIA!
