KnightRadiant she/her Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 Hey Sharders! Just looking for an outside opinion. Do we know how Jasnah somehow returns in the epilogue of Words of Radiance? Could she have soulcast herself a new body? Or even not died in the first place, however unlikely? Jasnah is an Elsecaller, correct? She's obviously had practice with Stormlight much longer than Shallan... 1
Vissy Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) She probably just Elsecalled to the Cognitive Realm, and then worldhopped back. Edited May 12, 2016 by Varangian

After two books we know what a Radiant may do with some Stormlight
Rasarr she/her Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 The deleted scene Tor has published on their website explains she kept herself alive with Stormlight and then Elsecalled to Shadesmar so that her would-be killers wouldn't realize she survived. In the epilogue, she simply Elsecalls back to the Physical Realm. 4

In the epilogue, she simply Elsecalls back to the Physical Realm. It took her a while to get back because she had to get to Honor's "Perpendicularity" in order to cross back, and as she insinuates in the epilogue of WoR, she was sidetracked by visiting the cities of the spren and talking to some spren councils about the Desolation (or was it just the council of the "Highspren" (the Skybreaker bondspren)? I don't have my copy of WoR handy).

She was intending to, but things didn't go as planned.Edit: Just checked, she doesn't mention whether she did or didn't use a perpendicularity, but she does say she was "somewhat pressed for time". jW Edited May 12, 2016 by Jondesu

Thanks for the clarification!
