[OB] Adonalsium has a godspren

[Nomar]

Hello everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster. Love these forums. I have a theory that I think hasn't been considered yet by the 17th sharders here yet. What if the Sibling that the Stormfather mentions is a spren from adonalsium itself?

I think that the three godspren that the bondsmiths bond to are NOT related to Odium whatsoever, because why would a spren that represents Odium as a god want to work with the Knights Radiant? We know that the original spren of Roshar came from adonalsium, and that the Singers predate the humans and may have predated Honor and Cultivation on Roshar.

Who did they worship before Honor and Cultivation? We know that the original rhythms are related to the spiritual realm directly. So perhaps they worshipped adonalsium itself? We also know that Ash swears in Adonalsium's name during the battle of Thaylen City, so the heralds at least know of Adonalsium as well.

 

So I believe that the third godspren represents a god, but not Odium.

Adonalsium.

I think Nightwatcher and the Stormfather got their sentience and power only from interaction with their shards. Adonalsium is no more, so I don't see how there could be sentient spren with access to Adonalsium's investiture. 

But at the moment that's all speculation. My theory is that the 3rd sibling was of Odium but controlled by its KR and limited to powering Urithiru. When the Parsh were enslaved, it also disabled the 3rd sibling by accident.

I think this is an interesting theory. As for Adonalsium being no more, Honor is no more, but the Stormfather persists. Its all about perception and memory. As long as people remember, their will be a spren. On the other hand, there are very few left who remember Adonalsium. The surviving Shards(Sazed, Cultivation, Odium, etc.), the surviving Heralds, Hoid. Maybe a few others. I would say that a spren such as this would be weak and/or sickly. Probably a fractured memory. A spren such as this would probably be a key figure later in the cosmere as people seek to bring Adonalsium back. I doubt we've seen or heard about such a spren yet, but I'd keep my eye out for something of this nature.

I actually had a slight alternate version of this. I don't necessarily think it's true, but it's an interesting thing to consider. 

 

What if the stormfather was originally the Adolnasium spren? We know that the highstorm existed before Honor and Cultivarion arrived. We know Urithiru was built in the place "closest to honor". We know that Honor was spreading himself too thin and losing it as he was investing the Stormfather. So what Honor did in putting more of himself into the Stormfather, was give mankind an edge that they could not have had with Honor alive, they'd have two Honor Godspren. 

This would mean that the sibling and however it effects Urithiru was originally the Honor Godspren.
