Asim Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 I have been trying to understand the following sentence from the letter by Amaran to Restares. Spoiler Nalan send that it is worth the loss. English is not my first language so I am a bit confused. Doest thatmean that Nalan is communicating with Amaram or worse, directing him or is it something else completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyrindor Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 No, Nalan and the Sons of Honor have opposite goals. Amaram worships the Heralds and that sentence is more like "God, I hope that it is worth the loss." Hope I helped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shqueeves Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) It is something else entirely. It is just an expression that basically means "I hope it is worth the cost" Out of curiosity, what is your first language Dang, ninja'd Edited October 31, 2017 by Shqueeves Ninja'd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifth of Daybreak Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Mraize says that Helaran sought out the Skybreakers, so it's actually likely that Nalan wanted to kill Amaram. Since Amaram lived his life so nobly before then, the running theory is the battlefield was the only way Nalan could find to do it "legally."

Must be hard to be Nale. "Storm it, why do the criminals follow the laws so good?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That whole situation just didn't work out in his favor. A proto radiant stepped in and took out one of his followers. That's like a double whammy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if Nale would try to kill Kaladin. Far as we know, Kaladin hasn't actually broken any laws that anyone would know about, AND he was wrongfully made into a slave when he did break what laws he did. Jasnah, Dalinar, and Shallan are probably screwed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an answer to this, but it is Edgedancer spoiler (big one): Spoiler Since Nale has now realized that murdering Radiants was a bad idea, I doubt he will hunt any one of them down.

Could make an argument that only the last one is a crime that he could be held accountable for, since the others were done while he was illegitimately a slave. 4 minutes ago, Toaster Retribution said: I have an answer to this, but it is Edgedancer spoiler (big one): Reveal hidden contents Since Nale has now realized that murdering Radiants was a bad idea, I doubt he will hunt any one of them down. Sorry, should have been clear: pre-Edgedancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
