[OB] House Davar

[DarthBathrobe]

So we know that Mraize has sent for the Davar family and that excluding any unexpected troubles they will be arriving at the shattered plains. Then via oathgate Urithiru. So I'm wondering Will we see shallans family arrive at Urithiru? During the preview chapters or even in oathbringer at alll?And what will their reactions be too people addressing there sister as a radiant and ultimately finding out what she has become? Will they have hidden radiants/proto-radiants in their group? Did any of them stay behind?

First off, welcome to the forums! Nice username!

I think they will arrive during Oathbringer, and that their arrival will be an important part of the Shallan-Ghostbloods storyline. I hope it happens soon, since I'm missing Mraize. I think it might take a while though. Jah Keved and the Shattered Plains aren't exactly close to eachother, and they also have to avoid the Everstorm. I'm sure they will arrive safely though. Mraize feels like the kind of guy to hire competent goons.

As for their reaction to Shallan being a Radiant... well, I would assume that they have gone through so much that nothing really surprises them anymore.

It's really hard predicting what's going to happen here.

If what Mraize is saying is correct then her brothers were on the way to Urithiru. But what if they got caught up in the Everstorm? If they were unlucky then they could be killed - and if that happened Mraize would probably keep quiet about it.

It's really hard to say. Normally, such situations in fiction feel like they should lead to tragedy but Kaladin was able to see his parents just fine.

Either way, there's still the minor problem of dealing with the Ghostbloods.

Four things came to mind:

1.   Shallan is finally dealing with her "truths", and now will have her brothers there. They know she killed Dad, but probably not that she killed Mom. This will be grueling torture to someone just now not repressing it. Could be serious family turmoil.

2  Why did this obscure family line get a shardblade (from the Skybreakers?), a powerful and rare soulcaster from the Ghostbloods, and a spren bond to become Radiant, and multiple visits from Hoid? All too coincidental if you ask me. Something else is afoot.

3. Did the Ghostbloods bring the family for direct control over Shallan, to show good will to retain loyalty, or for the big reveal about item #2 above?

4.  Shallan will reveal the patterns in the stone of Urithiru, but her whole family being there, and her need to go about disguised and not showing her real self (Shallan vs. Lady Radiant vs. Veil) will drive her from the place.

This is going to be my next band name.

 

I foresee much drama upon her family's arrival. Nothing like secret society involvement to stir things up and make people hide stuff from others they care about.
