TheDwarfyOne Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) I enjoyed reading through this thread. For some reason, I can see Moash sitting at a campfire singing "Eye of the Tiger." Edit: As an aside, there are Hamiltons in my family tree. Apparently, Alexander was a core family name they used over the generations. Makes all the Hamilton references extra amusing.

TheDwarfyOne Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 By the gods, yes. I have changed my mind. Dalinar can keep it, so long as Sanderson puts out a second edition of OB wherein the event described by that link is used. 1
TheDwarfyOne Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 It's a bit too specific to fit Kaladin perfectly, but it still reminded me of him. 1

Rad! Here's the first verse of The Stormbless-ed, sung to the tune of Hurricane: Dyin' shouts ring out on the battlefield, Enter Heleran in full shardplate Kal sees him charging t'wards Amaram Cries out "My God, he's killed my men." Here comes the story of the Stormbless-ed, The man that Meridas came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, and branded he might-just-be The Champion of the World.

TheDwarfyOne Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Yes, that's precisely what I was thinking of! Dyin' shouts ring out on the battlefield, Enter Heleran in full shardplate Kal sees him charging t'wards Amaram Cries out "My God, he's killed my men." Here comes the story of the Stormbless-ed, The man that Meridas came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell, and branded he might-just-be The Champion of the World. Three bodies from his wagon Stormblessed sees And Heleran, a Shardbearer, moving around mysteriously “I didn’t desert”, he says and he throws up his hands, “I was only saving Amaram. I hope you understand. “I left him bleeding,” he says “in his shards, “Hey, why are you calling out for the guards.” And the Brightlord calls the guards And they arrive on the scene With their spear-heads flashing In the wet Rosharian night. One time long ago in another battlefield Kaladin Stormblessed and squadron fight fiercely shield to each shield Number one contender for the Shattered Plains fight Had no idea what kinda crem was about to go down When his curse pulled him from his fantasy of good Just like the time before and the time before that Like when his brother Tien was laid down low If you’re darkeyed, might as well not show up on the field ‘Less you wanna be a shield. Amaram had got a partner he went by the name Sadeas Him and his honour guard men were just out fighting around He said, “I saw one man run away. He looked like lower dahn. He took a red chull and left as fast-as-he can.” And all of the army believed what he said. Guard cried, “wait a minute, boys, this one’s not dead!” So they took him to the infirmary And though this man could hardly see They told him he could identify the guilty man. Four in the morning and they haul Stormblessed in They took him to the hospital and they brought him upstairs The wounded man looks up through his one dying eye Says, “Why’d you bring him in here for? Kal ain’t the guy!” Here’s the story of the Stormbless-ed, The man that Meridas came to blame For somethin' that he never done Put in a prison cell but one time he could-a been the champion of the world. Four months later the slavers are in pain Stormblessed’s in plantations fighting for his name While Torol Sadeas is still in the killing game And the guards are laughing with him over Kaladin’s befouled convict name “Remember that desertion that happened in a war? Remember you said you saw the getaway chull? That’s how a man can play ball with the law! Amaram, was it that darkeyes that you saw running that night? Don’t forget that you are Bright”. Meridas Amaram said, “I really don’t care.” The guard said, “a lord like you could use a Shard. We helped you with the killing job and we’re talking with Sadeas Now you don’t wanna have to lose some face, be a weak Brightness. You’ll be doing society a favour. That son of a cremling’s brave and getting braver. We want to put his chull in stir. We want to pin this desertion on him. He ain’t no Lighteyed lord!” Stormblessed could take a squad out with just one spear But he never liked it for in his heart he had one fear “It’s honour,” he’d say, “and I do it for all. But when it’s over I’d just as soon forget it all And have some paradise With my bro alive and the slaves all safe Away from where the slavers trail.” But then they took him through the fire Where they tried to turn a Knight into a Squire. All of Stormblessed’s cards were marked in advance The trial was a cremling-farce. He never had a chance For Amaram had no concern for witnesses – they’re duns! To the light eyed who watched he was a revolutionary bum And to the darkeyes he was just a lower dahn-er No one doubted that he was a deserter And though they could not prove the crime The Bright lord said he was the one who did the deed And the all-bright army agreed. Kaladin Stormblessed falsely tried The crime – desertion, ‘done’. Guess who testified? Meridas, Torol, and they both baldly lied And the Rosharians – they all went along for the ride How can the life of such a man Be in the palm of some fool’s hand? To see him obviously framed Couldn’t help but make me feel ashamed To live in a land Where justice is a game. Now all the Brightladies in their havahs and gloves Are free to drink the violet and paint out doves While Stormblessed sits like Nalan in a ten-foot cell An innocent man in a living hell Yes, that’s the story of the Stormbless-ed But it won’t be over ‘til they clear his name And give him back the slaving done Put in a wagon cell but one time he could-a been The champion of the world.
