Mckeedee123 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Okay, first off, even as I'm writing this I know it's stupid. However, as is stated in the second oath of the 17th sharders "We will fill our forum with stupid theories, so long as some of them may be right". As I was re-reading Words of Radiance, I noticed Adolins' mother's chain. Adolin keeps it in his pocket whenever he duels. Then he conveniently "forgets" it just before he duels those four shardbearers? I don't buy it. "So Mister Chain... where were you on the day of the duel?" * Note: Subject is sweating profusely * We've got him on the ropes. Now all we need to do is figure out which Unmade took him. ---------------------------- But seriously, the chain going missing is such an innocent little thing that I almost have to assume it's important just because of that. Why does Adolin thinks he needs to keep it in his pocket? It could just be a memento, but the fact that he talks to his Shardblade has roots in something real, just like how religions on Shardworlds are based off of real events in worldbuilding. The fact that the chain was taken drew Renarin away for the early part of the duel. Which was why he was pressed for time, and couldn't get his armor on before he entered the arena --------------------------- But that's all I can think of. You may mock me now. In ten years, however, we may find out that the chain actually has a huge significance (It's Hoid's secret weakness or something), and I will lord over it for days.

gjustice99 she/her Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Where can I find the 17th Sharder oaths you speak of so that I may swear them for myself? Also I agree that it is suspicious that an important item of Adolin's that he usually doesn't enter a duel without was missing right before the biggest duel of his life. It was possibly stolen as a distraction. Edited December 16, 2014 by gjustice99

RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) "So, Mr. Chain. Where were you on the date in question?" Chain says nothing because it's a chain. "Playing hardball, are ya? Well, how about we get your friend the Lucky Rope in here to jog your memory?" Chain again says nothing. "I suppose you have the right to not speak without a lawyer, but innocent chains don't need lawyers." Chain sits there. Doing nothing. Inspector throws his hands up in despair. "Get out." Chain doesn't move. It's a chain, after all. Edited December 16, 2014 by Arthur Dent 6
Oudeis he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 We got in a translator for the chain, but all it would say is, "I am a chain." 7
RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) Lol, a cognitiv translator, so a surge binder? "So, Mr. Chain. I hear that you are in fact a chain. Can you tell us more about that" Translator thinks for a moment. "I am a chain." "No, I said more." Translator pauses before speaking again. "I am a chain." "Okay, look buddy. If all you are going to say is that one sentence, we are going to have a problem. I am trying to conduct an interview with the illustrious Mr. Chain and you keep getting in the way. You either get me something else, or you are fired." "I'm sorry sir," the translator said. "Thank you. Now, how was your childhood, Mr. Chain?" ".... I am a chain," the translator said reluctantly. "Get out." Edited December 16, 2014 by Arthur Dent 3
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I'd say that the people who Adolin dueled stole it because they knew how it would effect him, making it easier to beat him.
RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I think it was a device to get Renarin out of the arena so that he couldn't jump in to help right away.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 I doubt that people would consider him enough of a threat to bother removing him.
Curiosity he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 There is WoB that the chain missing didn't matter to anyone except for Adolin, but I don't know where that is...*
