RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) This may have been discussed before, but I can't find it. Kalad from Warbreaker actually met Kaladin. Can you imagine what he was thinking when he heard that name? "My name is famous enough in this universe to have spread to this world??? Who's stupid idea was that?!" Of course, it wasn't a stupid idea. It was brilliant. Because it's Sanderson. Edited December 16, 2014 by Arthur Dent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 There's actually a theory that Kalak, the Herald of the Willshapers during the Last Desolation, worldhopped to Nalthis and became Kalad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kobold King he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 Like, died and Returned to become Kalad? That's how I remember it. The theory as I remember it also postulated that Kalak's Honorblade eventually became Nightblood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawToast225 he/him Posted December 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't mean to seem contrary, but that doesn't seem very plausible the way you describe it. Would you mind finding the link to it for me? I can't. I must not be searching the right think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Unfortunately, Kalak is not Kalad, unless Vasher worldhopped to Roshar after Returning, became a Herald, hopped back to Nalthis for Warbreaker and Nightblood, and then worldhopped back to be a boring old Ardent. More to the point, though, we have WoB that you can only Return if you are born on Nalthis, though I cannot seem to find it at the moment...

lol_king he/him Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Also just saw this WoB http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/13720-worldhoppers-from-roshar/?p=171020 According to this the Heralds are bound to the Roshar system, and haven't left it in the past 4500 years. On a side note it also means Nalan didn't get Nightblood himself and used someone else, or it was already in the Rosharan system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal theory on this is that Vasher went to Roshar with Nightblood, and lost Nightblood on Roshar in some way. It seems too coincidental to me that Vasher would lose Nightblood (whom is then taken to Roshar), and then travels to Roshar himself for the Stormlight, and it just so happens to be the same place Nightblood was taken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjustice99 she/her Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Maybe he went to Roshar because he wanted Nightblood back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Maybe he went to Roshar because he wanted Nightblood back. I'm going to assume that Nightblood ended up on Roshar b/c of Vasher. Maybe he wanted to leave Sel in peace and needed a place to store the damned evil thing...

Blaze1616 he/him Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 I don't think Vasher went to Roshar looking for Nightblood due to a WoB, but the WoB does leave room for the possibility. source This makes me believe that Stormlight is the primary motive for the move, as it rules out all the other worlds we have seen so far. In addition, Stormlight is far more accessible, and by not using Breath Vasher feels no guilt for consuming someone's soul. I feel that the Stormlight substitute is too "good" of a reason that if Vasher went for any other reason it just wouldn't make sense and would be too coincidental. Plus, I think the concept of Naln sending a world hopping agent to steal a sword is too convoluted. How did Naln even learn of Nightblood's existence? Especially if Naln himself is not a worldhopper.
