notsawerd Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I read chapter 47. of WoR as part of my reread before OB. Shallan and Pattern and conversing and this caught my eye, 'Urithiru,' Shallan said, pointing toward a shining city depicted on the map as the center of everything." The last chapter previews of OB reveled that the spheres are holding investiture longer than normal in U city. Who thinks the quoted line is a throwaway or was it subtle worldbuilding? Will the tower light up like Christmas during the next highstorm? Before you get started: yes Dalinar thinks they have to lower the gems to get them to infuse, but that's speculation on his part. There is crem in the city, so the city can't completely be above the storm. 1

Maybe the strata light up inside as well and we get some cool lighting/color effects in interior shots. 1
CaptainRyan he/him Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 I like to think that the bottom-to-top window of crystal or whatever is a giant Stormlight battery. The characters will discover some mechanism for activating it and then bam! Near limitless Stormlight while in proximity of Uruthiru. 1

The Invested Beard Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 So we got definite confirmation with the latest chapters that something is wrong with Urithiru and it is not functioning as designed. I'm thinking once Shallan and company cleanse whatever the problem is we get some nice shiny tower city time.

To get a shining tower that everyone can look at in awe.
notsawerd Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 /Highstorm came and went and there was no glowing city. In addition to not shining there is a darkness within U city.

soulcastJam he/him Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Yeah, all she has to do is draw Spoiler a line.
notsawerd Posted October 17, 2017 Author Posted October 17, 2017 no not that. She needs to draw the Words of Radiance.
