Blazenella he/him Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 (edited) So, one of the main issues in the book (In my opinion) is how to get Urithiru up and running, fabrial wise. I have a bit of a theory on that. In one of the Epigraphs it talks about the Sibling and other spren connected to Urithiru Quote "My research into the cognitive reflections of the spren at the tower has been deeply illustrative. Some thought that the Sibling had withdrawn from men by intent- but I find counter to that theory." The first thing I thought when I saw this was that the Radiants were withdrawing from Urithiru because the Sibling had left them. My personal thoughts on this were that the Sibling was what kept the tower running, made the fabrials work, etc. I believe that the Sibling resided in the gemstone pillar in the library of Urithiru, allowing all of the fabrials to work properly, and when they left the tower shut down, forcing the Radiants to leave. One thing that I thought when considering this theory was why did Re-Shephir reside in the gemstone pillar, and why could their presence be constantly felt. The first is obvious, if this theory proves to be true, because the gemstone is connected to all of Urithiru and possibly some of the Siblings power. This also answers the second question. The ENTIRE tower is one huge fabrial, and if the pillar is what powers it all Re-Shephir would be connected to everything, making her presence everywhere in the tower. This would also explain why the pillar can't be infused, because it was powered by a spren akin to the Stormfather or Nightwatcher Edited December 1, 2017 by Blazenella
