Shadowspren he/him Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Alright, this may have already been answered before, and I'm almost certain I saw something along these lines some time ago... but I couldn't find anything about it now so I thought I should ask Vasher is known to be on Roshar, but at the end of Warbreaker they are talking about how he will continue to live off the breath stores that he has until he gets to his Divine breath... So here's my question: If Vasher is on Roshar than how does he keep himself from running out of breathes and dying...? From the presence of Nightblood we suspect that stormlight can be used as a substitute as they are both types of Investiture, does that apply for Vasher too?

SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 Pretty sure that Vasher can use Stormlight in place of Breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroen Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Pretty sure that Vasher can use Stormlight in place of Breath. Won't that require a Boon? and if so, how did the Nightwatcher know what Breath was anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natc Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Why are we bringing the Nightwatcher into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skaa he/him Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 From an interview last year: BLACKYETIDid he [Vasher] actually come from Nalthis and not Roshar? BRANDON SANDERSONI’m not going to actually answer that one. Well I can answer that: yes he does come from Nalthis. It’s pretty obvious that the way that the Breath’s working, the reason he moved is because it’s easier to get Stormlight than Breaths, and Stormlight can fuel being a Returned like him. And so yes, he was born on Nalthis. Becoming Returned without being born on Nalthis would be really hard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moogle Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Won't that require a Boon? and if so, how did the Nightwatcher know what Breath was anyway? Most Investiture is interchangeable: Question I know that there's three sorts of forms that magic presents itself in, the liquid and the solid and air. What would Breath be? Brandon Sanderson Breath is definitely like Mist, it is in the form of the air. Question And is Stormlight the same? Brandon Sanderson Stormlight is the same. Good questions! Question Would Vasher be able to use Stormlight in the same way that he can get Breath? Brandon Sanderson That would not be immediately easy, but Stormlight could feed Nightblood. Question Which is why Szeth can wield Nightblood? Brandon Sanderson Eh, you'll have to see if … but yes. That could theoretically happen. You can use most of the magics on most of the planets to fuel the other magics, if you know how to do it, it is not easy. (source) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
