Cognitive Shadow (No Direct Spoilers)

[Zinnny]

I've only recently gotten super heavy into the Cosmere stuff; but I was reading Feathers Theory on Cosmere Afterlife (Specifically on Roshar, LINK).  I was reading about cognitive shadows and my thought was that would it be possible for them to form a bond with a person such as the nahel bond?

One theory of the Stormfather is that he is a frankenstein combo of Honor's spren and Jezerezeh's cognitive shadow.  I'm not at all sure if I agree with that interpretation, but if it were the case, we'd have already seen an example of a cognitive shadow in a nahel bond.

I was thinking more along the lines of Tiens cognitive shadow, maybe having been linked to Syl at some point. Idk how much merit that would have, but it's something that has been kicking around in my head.

Well, Jezerezeh/Jezrien is still alive, so that doesn't check out.

He probably just swapped the names (or He is just an Orhodox Vorin   )

 

Anyway one of the more problably explaination about the being knowed as Stormfather sees it as a merging between a Tanavast's Ghost (Cognitive Shadow) and the Rider of the Storm (Spren)
