Blacksmithki Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 How much does it annoy you guys that the chapters release on Tor about 3 minutes late compared to this? 1
Bean Delphiki he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Only a few more weeks until release!!
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Congrats @Steeldancer, you beat Mestiv to it :-D

Calderis he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Destroy the Oathgate?!? Hurry Lift! Stop it! 4
Agent34 Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 How would you even go about destroying an Oathgate?
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Who is ruling New Natanan again?
Bean Delphiki he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Ooh, Oathbringer has been found.
Steeldancer he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Author Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) And an Unmade confirmed! Darn I double posted. Edited October 31, 2017 by Steeldancer

dantlee Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Stormfather's stated mission really makes me wonder why he chose Gavilar first. 2
Steeldancer he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Author Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Whoa that battle was COOL. Ok so she battled the unmade. Does this mean most of the radiants have an analogue to an unmade? Also sort of confirmed that pattern is cousin to creationspren. Edited October 31, 2017 by Steeldancer 4
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 I love that this hog story brings forth Taravangians worldview without Dalinar suspecting a thing about the Diagram. Furthermore, Dalinar, King T and Amaram together offer extremely enterataining moral discussion. I could read a spinoff with just the three of them talking. 5
Steeldancer he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Author Posted October 31, 2017 Also why does the library have to be ruined that means we don't get to have Shallan reading again. THAT'S LITERALLY ALL I WANTED 1
Leyrann Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Wait a moment it's winter time in Europe and not yet in America! They're an hour early! (also darn it, now I gotta read it before posting my theory about Dalinar's returning memories to make sure that the question isn't answered already) 1
Calderis he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Ha. Queen Fen is finally going to get some sleep. Won't quite be what she hoped for. 7
dantlee Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 “ Quote So,” one of the men said, a handsome, muscled fellow with arms that seemed too long for his body, “I assume we’re heading down into this awful crypt of terror?” “Yes,” Shallan said. She thought his name was Drehy. who's ready for the Shalladrehy shippers!? 5
Steeldancer he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Author Posted October 31, 2017 Ok so Lys is not Liss. Anyway, epigraphs= useless, visions can be shared, Oathbringer has sympathy for Dalinar. That's absolutely fascinating. I wonder if Adolins would be similar if he became a Radiant.
Toaster Retribution he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Glurv has to be the best name in a Sanderson book. 3
Blacksmithki Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Well, we seem to have confirmation that not only can an unmade bond a radiant by seperate groups their bond, but that the killer is an unmade, and we found the stormlight cache! Beyond that, multiple people can see a vision at once, Unmade appear to be related to Spren in the same way that Radient Spren are, and the creature doesn't appear to copy accidental harm, only harm intentionally committed! A single Radient appears to be able to capture a Unmade as well! Is each unmade similar to a different order or Radient as this one is? 4
PunSpren he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 Holy crap we just found the power core of Urithiru! 4

Pagerunner he/him Posted October 31, 2017 Posted October 31, 2017 So, looks like we all get to be right. There was an Unmade in Urithiru, but the copycat killer was technically a Midnight Essence, not a spren. (I had thought it was a Midnight Essence analogue, but apparently what we had seen in the WoK flashback was an Axehound Essence.) Man, I really want to get that mural, with the ten kinds of spren and depictions of Honor and Cultivation. But I fear that, for an illustration, we'll get Lyn's map, instead. Not that there's anything wrong with that... but I would much rather have the mural! Re-Shephir illustrates that not all nine of the Unmade are indeed intelligent; this one is getting there, but it's still mostly a force. It does feel, it does think somewhat, but it's a very primal drive that has only reached its current level after thousands of years. It is very much an animal of a spren. Why did it try to bond Shallan? Tear Pattern out, insert itself instead? What would that have created? A Voidbinder? Or is that analogous to how Hemalurgic creations can be controlled, and Re-Shephir was trying to use the cracks in Shallan's soul, which had been augmented by Pattern's bond, to take control over her? Some chronology questions. The Radiants used Urithiru after the Last Desolation. When did Re-Shephir move in? Was it a recent? Or has she been there ever since the Radiants left? She was captured - who released her, and how? I hope they'll continue their pursuit of her... there are a lot of questions, now that we've actually seen an Unmade on-screen. What do we think Gemstone Central is for? Is it a central hub for Urithiru's power? Once they get it Infused, will all the other fabrials in Urithiru start working again? Looking forward to next week. I guess we'll get a Dalinar chapter where he speaks with Fen in a dream, and a Kaladin chapter where they finally reach the Voidbringer gathering, and we'll learn something very shocking about the nature of the Listeners... 6
