Master246 he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 If/when Jasnah and Shallan reach the shattered planes will Rock be able to see their spren, because he is alaii'iku? Seeing as he is able to see Syl it is only reasonable to assume he would be able to, and if he does, how would Jasnah or her spren react to this. Jasnah's secretiveness would make me think that she would either: A- Panic and try to leave/avoid the situation as soon as possible. or: B- Threateningly question how he is able to see her spren. It would also be interesting to see Shallan's reaction to this. I am excited to see how Rock's unique abilities will be revealed more in depth and how he will affect the story. 1
el_warko he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I don't think she'll panic, she's as cool as a cucmber in bowl of hot sauce. I'm more interested in seeing whether Syl goes for Pattern's throat, or vice versa. 3
Oudeis he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Well, everyone can see Pattern, and I get the idea that Ivory is more hidden than usual; like he's not simply like Syl, fluttering around yet invisible, he's actually disappearing, hiding in Jasnah's shadow perhaps. Still, good point, it'll be interesting to see. Presumably Kaladin's guard duties will extend to Jasnah (if she safely makes it to the Shattered Plains) though Rock's not an actual guard. What are the odds she'd come down to the barracks? Though she does seem to take a perverse delight in doing what she oughtn't.
Elementalist he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 When I first saw this topic I thought, "Not another shipping prophecy!" I am glad that my initial reaction was unfounded. =) 3
Aleksiel Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I doubt Rock will tell anyone but Bridge Four about Jasnah and Shallan's spren.
Natans he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 (edited) I don't think she'll panic, she's as cool as a cucmber in bowl of hot sauce. I'm more interested in seeing whether Syl goes for Pattern's throat, or vice versa. Or Kaladin goes for Shallan throat, by word of Teft some orders are at odd with which other =) And Puppy spren are already visible =) Edited January 30, 2014 by Natans
WhiskeyJackDaniels he/him Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I don't think he'd say anything, even to Bridge 4 unless they directly asked him, and why would they if they didn't know? He's never been very talkative about spren, remember in the training chapter with kaladin sticking rocks to the wall he notices some spren that no one else sees and then when he realize nobody else can see them he shuts up about them.

1empyrean Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Rock seems unlikely to offend a spren that wishes to remain hidden except by accident. I believe that Shallan is more likely to be the aggressor in any squabbles between her and Kaladin (mostly based on a theory i have about shallan's powers, proving what happened when kaladin killed the shardbearer, and the identity of said shardbearer), and in any case, the nature of the relationship between honor spen and cryptics seems to be the inability to see eye to eye more than actual conflict. I can see the cryptic saying something and syl flying into a rage over something relatively minor in the great scheme of things, though. Jasnah isn't likely to run into Rock any time soon anyways, so what happens will likely be without her direct knowledge. 1
Lorna Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Presumably Kaladin's guard duties will extend to Jasnah (if she safely makes it to the Shattered Plains) though Rock's not an actual guard. What are the odds she'd come down to the barracks? Though she does seem to take a perverse delight in doing what she oughtn't. Guard duties extend to Jasnah and Shallan both when they finally arrive I'd wager. Like you pointed out though, Rock is the cook, not a guard at the moment. Rock can't exactly flag their spren (or Renarin's) if they haven't met. There seems to be a lot leading up to the sparks flying when Kaladin and Shallan meet, and not in a warm and fuzzy way.
QuantumHarmonix he/him Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 I could see Jasnah going to the barracks to investigate the dark eyed solider that so quickly worked his way into her families inner circle.
Oudeis he/him Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Rock can't exactly flag their spren (or Renarin's) if they haven't met. I'm not sold on the "Renarin is a Surgebinder" thing, though his reticence to take up a Shardblade has shaken my disbelief. I, for one, love the mental image I get when Adolin has that Blade in his hand and gives it over. "Oh, right, this thing. Uh... want it? I mean I've already got one."

Oudeis he/him Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 perhaps not a surgebinder per se, but he sees a spren Oooo, thanks, I hadn't seen that yes. Yeah, the evidence is starting to pile up. Do we have any suspicion which Order he is? On some level I'm a bit sad. Is anyone in this book going to be allowed to be interesting without being magic?
Ness Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 Do we have any suspicion which Order he is? I know some people were thinking he could be a Skybreaker, but I don't remember their rational.
QuantumHarmonix he/him Posted February 1, 2014 Posted February 1, 2014 I know some people were thinking he could be a Skybreaker, but I don't remember their rational. Probably because that would let Kaladin and Renarin study the Gravity surge together.
