ArmbarBanker Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 "He’s a storm, Kaladin. As people over millennia have imagined him." I wonder if the way Rosharians imagine certain spren like Stormfather will change and if that change will affect who and what the Spren become...
Stark he/him Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 Watch your titles, include the [OB] mark, or @Chaos will be unhappy. And yes, I think that is the point. As a cognitive entity, he has been viewed as such for so long, he is inextricably tied to that role. If enough people thought him different, and truly believed it, for long enough, he would change to fit the new ideal. You see this in a lot of stories involving Gods and prayer, where the deity loses free will through prayer, and is forced to align with the belief of the followers. As a deific Spren, the Stormfather has not much choice in how to act due to the volume of belief about him accrued over millennia. I think change could start now, but it would require many years, and a new religion that achieves global prevalence to be complete. Say a shift from the rider in the storms, who brings them, to the benevolent patriarch, who protects those caught in the storm.
Chaos he/him Posted November 7, 2017 Posted November 7, 2017 It's okay, we can edit it for now. I need to write a comprehensive announcement on spoiler policy post release, and it will involve these prefixes. We are in a transitional phase right now 1
