rederel he/him Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I recently thought of an interesting question,and thought about sharing it- As we know,by the end of words of radiance dalinar became a bondsmith by forming a bond with the stormfather himself. Now,as we also discovered earlier in the book,the shardblades are in fact spern,and each radiant's blade was actually his bonded spern. Are we supposed to expect a gigantic shardblade to fall from the skies when dalinar needs it?and if such a thing does happen,how will it effect the highstorms? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprint Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I will not be a simple sword to you, the storm father warned. I will not come as you call, and you will have to divest yourself of that... monstrosity that you carry. You will be a radiant with no shards. "it will be what it must" So highly unlikely on the giant sword front. Given the relative rarity of bondsmiths however his surges might have potent effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprint Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 The mention of "shards" in the plural lends credibility to the theory that shard plate is directly related to the nahel bond of the radiant / proto-radiant (e.g. shard plate is composed of lesser spren associated with the KR orders' higher spren) rather than being a fabrial construct as some are suggesting on another thread. I mean the stormfather ought to know. More interesting is whether or not Dalinar can converse with the Stormfather as readily as Kaladin & Syl and Shalan & Pattern. The Stormfather could fill in so many gaps in our current understanding, wonder if the Stormfather will hand Dalinar a RAFO? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid King he/him Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Of course, if the Stormfather did turn into a massive sword falling from the sky... Dalinar would catch it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bort he/him Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I can almost see the Stormfather now... "Lastclap that, Dalinar." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystin Radiant Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I can kind of see the Stormfather being like "fine, I'll be your bonded spren." And then leaving Dalinar alone for the most part and just going off to... continue bringing highstorms to Roshar or whatever and checking in every once in a while... Probably with each passing highstorm. ... That's what the Stormfather does, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamEternal Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I wonder what would happen if the Stormfather let Dalinar use him as a blade. Would it only work during a highstorm? Would Dalinar be able to control the highstorms? Would he have acess to all stormlight of the highstorms? If he could be called between highstorms, would it affect highsrorms somehow? Summon the highstorm? Temporaly take away the highstorm stormlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oversleep Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 "The Voidbringers are coming! There are too many of them! We have to flee!" Kaladin screamed.Dalinar knelt on the ground. "What are you doing?!" "I'm calling in an air strike." Kaladin felt the sky change. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormWrath he/him Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I really don't think that we'll see a gigantic blade from the sky,the blade will just form in dalinar's hand like any other normal shardblade,but....it will be very epic to see that sword,from the stormfather himself!! It going to be the greatest shardblade ever,I'm very much looking forward to seeing that blade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
