flying_shadow Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 "Void" means total emptiness, or vacuum. Space is known as being empty. Could this somehow fit in with the fact that Braize is a different planet? Is there a connection to be made between Voidbringers and outer space, or do I just need to go sleep already?

Dlyol Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Certainly it's possible. My assumption has been that Void has been designed to be understood in two senses. One is obviously the sort of generic high fantasy word for devastation which I think its understood as both in and out of world. The other is its definition of ending an agreement as in 'voiding a contract'. As Honour's mandate is the honouring of promises and agreements this sense denotes the function of the Voidbringers to oppose him and (speculation here but I think its well founded) to seek to void a specific agreement: the Oathpact between Honour and the Heralds that traps Odium in the Roshar system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
