Goatbringer Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Hey guys! Sorry if this is a re-post or derivative post or anything, but I saw axcellence's topic about what scenes people want to see in OB and most of what I could think of was seeing glimpses of our cosmerenauts showing up around Roshar: Zahel seeing Szeth with Nightblood... stuff like that. Got me to thinking that in the grand scheme of things Oathbringer is in all probability going to be the most cosmere-intensive book to date that Brandon's come along with, even if it's just what Jasnah has to say about her travels through the Cognitive Realm. We know worldhoppers have cropped up on Roshar more than any other planet so far and it seems to be a bit of a hub, so my question is... who do you want to see around Roshar from other planets? And what do you want them to be doing? Personally I'm a fan of the whole 'if Vasher is on Roshar then Vivenna must be hanging around there somewhere too' idea, so I'd love to see Vivenna show up... potentially as the queen of Theylenah (bit of a stretch but I'm a sucker for a good twist!)

Monotrema Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Definately Wayne. He would help lighten the mood a bit more. Stir in a little “no mating”. Good times to be had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invested Beard Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm still hoping for Vivenna to show up someday. I know we may be waiting a while but I'm patient...relatively. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Spoilers for the non-released part of Oathbringer: Spoiler Brandon heavily implied at a signing that Vivenna would be in this book, or that we would at least learn what she is up to. As for worldhoppers I'd like to see... Baon. I haven't read White Sand but he sounds like a cool character. Would be neat to see him again, with an update on the Hoid-chasing. We know Felt is on Roshar too. I liked him in Mistborn, so I hope to see him again in OB. As for Wayne, OB is before Era 2, so it wouldn't work.

Khyrindor Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 I want Mraize and Iyatil to have some more screen time. Definitely want to see more of Wit. Would like it if the Ghostbloods have even more worldhoppers around there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dendrophobe Posted October 11, 2017 Report Share Posted October 11, 2017 Not necessarily in Oathbringer, or even on Roshar, but someday I'd like to see one of the in-world characters meet a worldhopper, and either realize or find out somehow that they ARE a worldhopper. And then the impact of finding that out, and possibly even becoming a worldhopper themselves. Spoilers for Mistborn: SH: Spoiler I know it kind of happened with Kelsier, but I don't really count that because he was dead at the time, and hanging out with Fuzz. He was already in such a weird situation that the realization of worldhopping didn't really have the same impact as it would to someone who had never left the Physical Realm.

He was already in such a weird situation that the realization of worldhopping didn't really have the same impact as it would to someone who had never left the Physical Realm. M:SH and BoM spoilers: Spoiler Given what he vowed at the end of SH, I wouldn't put it past him to go off-world at some point. He would be quite ostentatious with a spike in his head, however, so he may act with agents. Spook, on the other hand, seems interested in Hemalugry, and is possibly still alive at the time of AoL. I expect him to show up at some point. I also want to see MeLaan and Wayne (if he manages to achieve immortality at some point) become a worldhopping pair, though I'm not sure if they'd be as suited to it as Marasi. I believe Brandon has said he plans for Shai to be a worldhopper, so maybe we'll see her again in Oathbringer or sometime in the future. Also, our friends of the 17th Shard, Galladon, Demoux, and Baon should make another appearance in Urithiru sometime soon if they want to survive the Desolation and find Hoid. As others have said, I would like to see Jasnah's interactions with the Cognitive Realm lend her some knowledge of other planets; at the very least, Braize and Ashyn, as the Rosharans may need to flee the planet at some point in the future of these books. She may be on the path to becoming a worldhopper. Dalinar is also a likely choice for future Cosmere-awareness, as he's heard the name Adonalsium a few times and is now in a position where people in the know may bring him up to speed on such things. We do know Gavilar knew something of this stuff, as did Amaram. Taravangian is coming and he was in league with them at some point. EDIT: I forgot about Khriss and Nazh! They're bound to have a field day in Urithiru! Edited October 12, 2017 by Rider of Storms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
