High prince of geeks he/him Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 I just realized how slimier these two groups were. the monks are required to shave their head, most Ardents do it themselves. Their are both servants, ardent more literary both allow marriages while being monks both do not fit general description of monks(by that i mean the stereotypical locked in a small room starving themselves) Ardents seam to be the major intellectual force in roshar, as well as being chefs and weponmaster. There are some that you sea who talk about the almighty all the time but not much. Austrium monks seam to have no religious obligation then to helop others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Very interesting. It's possible the two groups influenced each other in writing. Warbreaker is, in more than a few ways, a prequel to The Stormlight Archive. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Brandon was working on Way of Kings Prime around the same time he worked on Warbreaker.
