taveren Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 is it possible that the almighty is both honor and cultivation. i just thought of it when i read the double eye of the almighty. its 2 circles touching inside the eye. also looks a bit like the map of roshar sideways. also as i wright this i thought 2 like having 2 surges combining in to one order like the 2 shards being seen as one almighty i wonder if 2 is one of the important numbers to roshar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 "I am... I was... God. The one you call the Almighty, the creator of mankind." - Honor. The last paragraph of the last chapter (before the epilogue) of The Way of Kings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjustice99 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure some other Rosharian cultures worship Cultivation. I guessed this because they use "she" and "mother" with divine connotations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawToast225 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I really thought they were the same. That's why I was so confused that Odium was afraid of Sazed when Sazed would theoretically hold the same amount of power as the Almighty. If Odium was afraid of Sazed, why wouldn't he be afraid of the Almighty? It never fit to me. Now, knowing Cultivation is separate from Honor, it makes sense.

AerionBFII Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 I always thought that the Secret name of the Almighty was Tanavast when Wit said how he used to buy him drinks i was like oh SNAP but it turns out on Roshar his secret name is 'Elithanathile' 'He who Transforms' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oudeis Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Tanavast was the name of the original mortal who ended up taking on the Shard of Honor and traveling to Roshar with Cultivation (Whose name, i believe, we do not yet know). Elithanathile is one of the ten names he is known by in Vorinism. It's associated with the Surge of Transformation. I personally speculate that the ten names correlate to the ten Surges. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardlet Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 It was my understanding that although "The Almighty" is typically applied to Honor/Tanavast, that aspects of Cultivation and perhaps even Odium are ascribed under the same moniker. It is also my understanding that the term is principally rooted in Vorinism and that non-Vorin peoples and religions do not embrace this term.

Cold Fusion Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I would swap out Ben Stiller for Nicholas cage... Or maybe have both, like Honor and Cultivation... Kind of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
