Awesomness Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Hi everyone, this ir my first post and I´m not a native english speaker so please be patient! I was just rereading WoK´s last chapter, In the top room. For those who not remember, is the one in which Dalinar learns the Almighty is dead. This specific quote caught my attention: “You might be able to get him to choose a champion. He is bound by some rules. All of us are. A champion could work well for you, but it is not certain. And… without the Dawnshards… Well, I have done what I can. It is a terrible, terrible thing to leave you alone.” Fragmento de: Brandon Sanderson. “The Way of Kings”. iBooks. Emphasis mine. There´s also another reference, in one of the epigraphs: Taking the Dawnshard, known to bind any creature voidish or mortal, he crawled up the steps crafted for Heralds, ten strides tall apiece, toward the grand temple above.”—From the Poem of Ista. I have found no modern explanation of what these "Dawnshards" are. They seem ignored by scholars, though talk of them was obviously prevalent among those recording the early mythologies[1] What is a Dawnshard??? What does it mean to "bind any creature"? And why is it so important? This is killing me, please tell me what you think 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 If anybody knew the answer to that then the people in charge of writing these epigraphs won't be nearly as puzzled now would they? (speaking of which how does one make a ninja emoticon here? I see it a lot) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
