Humpty he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Its been bugging me way more than it should. I've been wondering who are Lift's Parents? More importantly who is her father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blightsong he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 We have no idea, just that she was primarily raised by her mother in all likelihood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashan’Elin he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 All we know is that Lift knew her mother at least long enough for her mother to tell her that she was Reshi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telmond he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I saw a theory somewhere that theorizes that lifts dad is an aimian. So if that is true then it could explain her wish to never change (aimians are said to have the ability to change their appearance). And it could be a possibility that as a side effect of her repressed abilities manifested in other ways (like being able to see spren and turning food into storm light). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nervousnerd he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I wouldn't think that Aimians and humans would be able to mate. Then again, I thought the same of the Parshendi and humans. I feel like it doesn't matter though. I kind of want to see her become a powerful hero despite her upbringing.

Horneaters and Herdazians are both WoB confirmed to be Parshendi/Human mixes. It really makes you question what Jasnah believes about the Parshmen in my opinion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really makes you question what Jasnah believes about the Parshmen in my opinion. Although it does line up with their origin story, as told by Rock and paraphrased by me: "always persecuted by the [rest of the] humans, asked the spren for help and granted a home (and form, perhaps?) that allowed them to live in relative peace alongside the [rest of the] humans." The first bit definitely aligns with the desolations. Actually, I just noticed how all their pleas to the Spren are answered in terms of transformation: The suggestion that, by living in the forest, they would be targeted by woodsmen (which Kaladin scoffs at), or by living in the sea they would be targeted by fisherman, indicates that in those cases they would become wood or fish. Perhaps when they went to the peaks and cultivated it into a home they were granted a human-like (and -compatible) form by the owner of a particular Shardpool located there... Edit: Sorry for the thread hijack, I'll take my musings to a new thread for comment.

Eagle of the Forest Path he/him Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 I've got this (somewhat far-fetched) theory that Lift's got Terris ancestry. It makes sense to me, but I won't expect it to to anyone else, since it's based on assumptions and wishes, mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time we find out about her past Brandon will have explained the cosmere in a lot more depth, and that might explain crossovers between the stories, and make it plausible.

The current year in WOK is 1173, so 10 years before, and lift is 12 I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears that I was remembering something from a different discussion when i said "reasonable doubt." That topic brought up somewhere that the passage of time may have weakened/taken away Herdaz/Horneater ability to change forms like their Parshendi ancestors, assuming they could ever do that, so I meant it in the sense of that more than in the sense of Lift's parentage. melding similar discussions is an issue I have here and there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
