Passion he/him Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Did anyone understand this epilogue bec. I for one am very confused (as I assume I’m supposed to be) - “you’ve Been making quite a disturbance on the other side” wit said, “its been a long time since the spren have had to deal with someone alive” so she went to get info from the spren -“if it’s not happening as it did before then everything I know could be false. The words of the highspren could be inaccurate...” so she spoke to some super important spren called a highspren(though the switch from info being false to Soren inaccurate. Is distracting me...she doesn’t say the spren is mistaken she seems to think the iknowkege being false only leaves the Soren’s word inaccurate?!) -“I was somewhat pressed at the time of my escape” so does anyone get what happened-did she find herself at odds with spren what could have caused that? and last jasna quote the 2nd to last quote which I left incomplete ends as follows “...the records I seek could be meaningless” note the present tense... she is not talking about what she’s done but what she is presently doing... she still sells records? What vital info does she still need that she couldn’t get from spren? one thing from wits quotes caught my eye “...I believe that the storm will bring the transformation” wait...the haven’t transformed into voidbringers...hoid is misinformed ?!?(there’s no way he just meant transformed out of slaveform) come to think of it jasnahs question is weird she asks about the storm and if they transformed... if she didn’t think the storm would transform them if what significance was the storm to her?!? heeeelp
Calderis he/him Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 She got information from the Highspren (Skybreaker spren) about the way desolations happened in the past and where to find additional information. Upon learning about the Everstorm from Hoid, and what he thinks it will do (and hadn't done at that point as the storm was headed out to sea) she realized that nothing she learned, or is in the records she still hasn't read, may be valid this time around.
Passion he/him Posted October 18, 2017 Author Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) What transformation did hoid expect the storm to bring? why did she need to escape? Edited October 18, 2017 by Passion Left something out
Argent he/him Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 7 hours ago, Passion said: What transformation did hoid expect the storm to bring? Only a small part of the Parshendi/parshmen of the world were transformed. It's reasonable to assume future passes of the Everstorm will bring more change. 7 hours ago, Passion said: why did she need to escape? We don't know. Much about Jasnah will be mystery until she gets her own book.

If she were to find her way to Urithiru sometime in this book, she would most likely explain a lot to Shallan and Navani, and we'd probably get to see that explaining too.
Argent he/him Posted October 18, 2017 Posted October 18, 2017 Just now, Leyrann said: I wouldn't want to say that. If she were to find her way to Urithiru sometime in this book, she would most likely explain a lot to Shallan and Navani, and we'd probably get to see that explaining too. Perhaps. But there is a lot in Jasnah's past that's unlikely to be revealed, and I am not sure Jasnah would go into too much detail about her experiences in Shadesmar - my intuition tells me she'll say how she avoided death, but not give a detailed account of her life these past few months. Regardless, that's not a conversation for this topic.
