Rasha Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I could not help but notice that Brightlord Hatham's colors are red and gold, exactly like Odium. /tinfoil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Obligatory joke: Hatham is Odium Reborn. Joking aside, good find. I don't think he has something to do with Odium though. After all, there are just that many colors you can mix. Hathams colors are probably quite old as well. I guess his family has existed for a while. So if there is some connection between him and Rayse, it would have to have been established long ago. I think Hatham is a normal, opportunistic Highprince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackYeti he/him Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Aha, so it's Hatham who's going to be invading Scadrial then. Spoiler Quote "You are fools!"

The Invested Beard Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 So I was just looking through @Pagerunner's awesome Reddit WoB compilation and found this veeeeeery interesting concerning this very same Highlord... Q: In The Way of Kings, Chapter 54: Gibletish, Dalinar has a brief conversation with Brightlord Hatham, one of his ardents, and a few other people. During the conversation the ardent uses the word “soil” in a way most Rosharans wouldn’t. After the conversation he tells Dalinar of “our goodwill toward you” and that “we will speak with you again.” The odd use of the word “soil” combined with what could be a vague reference to the ardent’s associated with a group other than the ardentia has led some of us to believe he might be a worldhopper. Plus, we know Nazh is around in the area, or will arrive soon. Is there truth to this idea, or are we overthinking this? A: Alethi use the word "soil" on occasion in their language to mean "dirtied" or similar. It's a holdover from an earlier time. But they don't associate it with the ground, and if you see it used instead of stone like in this quote, it should indeed raise an eyebrow. So one of Hatham's Ardents may or may not be more than he seems...coupled with the specific mention on Hatham's colors...some interesting things can be theorized... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intricate headdress of jade and turquoise complemented her wedding gown. Red for luck, it was embroidered with gold and shaped in a much looser style than the havah, with wide sleeves and a graceful drape. =-O Oh rust. KR have been quite splendidly infiltrated. 70% joking, 30% borrowing @Rasha's tinfoil hat. When I first read ch. 4 my first thought was "What if this is a hint about Navani's intentions?" Then Stormfather points out that she's broken oaths before and well... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParadoxicalZen he/him Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Don't forget, minor Cosmere spoilers Spoiler Frava wore red and gold ribbons in her hair once, Lightsong's colours were red and gold and I think the Derethi also wore red and gold (but that may have just been red) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
