Marethyu316 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Okay, so it's possible that I am completely off base, but did anyone else think that Timbre is actually Eshonai? Quote She turned to go, but paused as she saw something. What was that small spren that had crept out from beneath Eshonai’s corpse? It looked like a small ball of white fire; it gave off little rings of light and trailed a streak behind it. Like a comet. p.341 There is an interaction at the end of the book where Venli seems to be conversing with Timbre. We only hear her responses, but if she is actually hearing a voice, I guess it wouldn't make sense for it to be Eshonai. It's hard to tell if she's just interpreting Timbre's mood or actually interacting with her. Quote “This bond was supposed to be impossible,” she whispered to Timbre. Timbre pulsed to Peace. “I’m happy too,” Venli whispered. “But why me? Why not one of the humans?” Timbre pulsed to Irritation, then the Lost. “That many? I had no idea the human betrayal had cost so many of your people’s lives. And your own grandfather?” Irritation again. “I’m not sure how much I trust the humans either. Eshonai did though.” p. 1196 Irritation seems like an odd reaction to the conversation, if it's really about how many people Timbre lost. It seems like there'd be some other rhythm that would be more appropriate. Of course, it would make sense that a spren doesn't care much for humans given the Recreance.

Dahak he/him Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Something awfully like Timbre was following Eshonai around in the previous book. Occam's Razor suggest it was Timbre. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player2 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think Timbre is a Willshaper spren that was bonded, or about to bond, with Eshonai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marethyu316 Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Now that you point that out, I think what you guys are saying makes a lot more sense, and conveniently still has a connection to Eshonai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent he/him Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Let's use the existing Timbre thread for this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
