Cloak he/him Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 On the day when Dalinar became bondsmith, he saw the oathgate on shattered plains flashing and saw Highprince Hatham arriving. But how did Hatham got the oathgate to work? I suppose Shallan said it could be opened by only Radiants : first the lanterns in that room must be infused with stormlight and the portal can be worked by only spren-shardblade. Both Kaladin and Shallan, as of yet revealed Radiants, were still in the tower. So who let Hatham in through an oathgate? In fact not just Hatham, but Elhokar, Sadeas and all those people who came to the city. How exactly they got in? I can't imagine Kaladin and Shallan standing at the gate like guards for an entire week, opening the portal for incoming people Or did they come by some other route than oathgate? Or did Shallan figure out how to work the portal without Radiants' power? Though I cannot remember reading that one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reborn radiant Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Besides any other route is more or less impossible because we know for sure that urithiru is not an althlea, and no one even knows it's location anyway. I don't think Shallan figured out a new way either, it will be waaaaay too fast. The only thing I can think of is what you said you can't imagine. Kaladin and Shallan taking large groups of people together at pre-specified times. Like public transport. I am probably being way too stupid, but that is the only answer I can come up with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes that is exactly what shallan was doing. Or she lent out pattern as a shardblade to open up the gate. Kaladin is probably less likely to have done that, in my opinion 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaladin is probably less likely to have done that, in my opinion Shallan can lend pattern, but what about infusing lanterns with stormlight? I guess that was the reason that only Radiants could do that. Only radiants can transfer stormlight from one sphere to another afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree with others that Shallan and Kaladin were most likely acting as ferrymen for others, I wanted to address this point. We know that there are fabrials for removing Stormlight from gemstones. They were mentioned in relation to Sadeas' rings when he surprised Adolin after Adolin and Shallan's highstorm date I believe. If they have a fabrial designed to drain Stormlight from a gem, I'd honestly be surprised if moving that Stormlight to another gem is beyond their capabilities. I don't believe that this was needed for the end of WoR, but I also don't think it's beyond Artifabrian abilities. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starla Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 I wonder if some of the glowing bridgemen were able to infuse the spheres? Maybe Shallan or Kaladin lent their spren blade to a bridgeman squire and they opened the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoolofwhool Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 It could've been Kaladin. The entire conversation with the Stormfather happened between Dalinar seeing the people arrive and him seeing Kaladin, so Kaladin could've transported them then flown up to the top of the tower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
