Toaster Retribution Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 Yelig-Nar possessed her at Kholinar, but he (it?) appears again at Thaylen City and gives Amaram his new killer look. Yelig-Nar is said to consume his victims. While he failed to do so with Amaram, do we think he succeeded with Aesudan? Is she dead and gone now?

Guest Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 I don't have the text here, but I think Odium implied something like that to Amaram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yelig-Nar is said to consume his victims. While he failed to do so with Amaram, do we think he succeeded with Aesudan? Is she dead and gone now? She is most likely gone. Given that we know Yelig-Nar consumes his victims, that he's present for the Battle of Thaylen City, and that Odium implied she was eaten, it seems like a safe bet. Beyond that, she struck me as a kind of Useful Idiot to Odium, and accordingly the sort of person who's best off being liquidated once you take over. She was playing around with the powers of the Unmade, with all the disastrous consequences that entails, but if she'd been serving Odium directly and/or intentionally, it seems like it wouldn't have been hard for her to open the gates and end the seige quickly. Drop a couple of Fused into the palace complex, use them and the Queen's Guard to storm one of the gates with a force of Parshmen waiting outside, then advance the whole army. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Aesudan wanted to use the power of the Unmade for her own goals, not Odium's. She believed she could control it, and well, she was wrong. If we look at what Yelig-nar did to Amaram in the.. 10 minutes? that he was fighting Kaladin, I think Aesudan's definitely gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post digitalbusker Posted January 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 She went to live on a farm. She has lots of space to run around, and the people there are very nice to her, and don't even mind when she kills their ardents or eats their dark gems. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loosing your heart and lungs is a pretty hard condition to come back from, even plucky "Let them eat cake" Asuedan would probably find it difficult.

Popular Post Weltall Posted January 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 She didn't read the fine print on the warning label. "Consumption of Yelig-nar's gemstone may cause spontaneous crystal growths, the replacement of your entire internal organ system, delusions of grandeur, voidbinding powers and maybe the consumption of your soul. Consult your ardent to decide if Yelig-nar is right for you before ingesting." 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post +Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted January 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 @Weltall you're totally right, I just found the package that Yelig-nar comes in: And just like you said, the warning label is quite explicit (zoomed in view below): Your warning label text is some funny rust brother, currently out of upvotes but I'll get you one when they come back online. 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I'm fairly sure a signfigant plot point in Book 4 or 5 will be Sigzil leading a class action lawsuit, The People v. Blightwind in order to seal Yelig-nar away. It's going to be great. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Investor Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) OMG thats amazing, someone show this to Brandon. Anyways, the last we see of the Queen she had black smoke surrounding her. We later hear Odium explain to Amaram that its previous owner failed to control Blightwind. So likely consumed.

Weltall Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 @hoiditthroughthegrapevine Haha, nice job there. @Heir of the Void That sounds awesome. In fact, you could turn it into an entire legal thriller series. The Skyeel Brief. To Kill a Larkin. Twelve Angry Listeners... And it all culminates in the explosive finale, Ardent Attorney, in which Odium is tried and sentenced to splintering as a result of the heroic arguments of Sigzil and his co-counsel Venli and Hoid is the presiding judge. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha, rad! Here's a scene from to Kill a Larkin: SCENE: Yelig-nar figdets nervously on the witness stand, sweating black vaporous tendrils of sweat, and glances nervously at Odium who is idly playing with a pencil, looking bored at the Defense's table. His defense Attorney, Taravangian is noticeably tense as Sigzil approaches the witness: SIGZIL: So, how do you explain your recent behavior, Yelig-Nar? YELIG-NAR: (still glancing nervously at Odium): Well, it's like my daddy always told me, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view … until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.”, Isn't that right papa? Odium stabs himself in the head with his pencil. SIGZIL: The prosecution rests your Honor, err.. I mean your Wit. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Thinking Herald Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Scene from Ardent Attorney: “And what, exactly, are these charges?” “Your Wit. Multiple counts of attempted genocide, which each time lead to millions of deaths.” “Truly horrific.” “Indeed, your Wit. However, none of this can match up to his worst crime: the enslavement of the Dawnsinger race.” The Fused watching the trial from the balcony gasped. Muffled whispers of “It was true, then. All along, what we believed were lies of the Alethi were just attempts to save us.” and other such discussion was audible to Sigzil. He smiled. His work was done. He soon wiped his grin off his face, however, when he saw what the defendant was doing. Rayse, enraged, had started emitting an aura of golden, blinding light. “I will kill you all!” Odium continued to release his Shardic energies at a tremendous rate, causing the very foundaion of the court to shake. Even the Wit’s shouts of “Order!” could but add to the deafening, ever-growing noises that enveloped the courtroom. Sigzil was panicking. Everywhere he looked, nothing anyone was doing was helping against Odium’s relentless assaults and tirades. They was, until the doors to the courtroom were flung open with a Bang! They looked towards the doorway. In the frame stood a bald figure with the robes of an ardent. The defendant, surprisingly, was trembling, whilst the Wit grew calm, almost as if recognizing the monk. “And to what is it that we owe the pleasure of your visit, lord Harmony?” “Why, Hoid, nothing less than proof of the defendant Odium’s involvemen in a conspiracy for galactic domination and enslavement of all free races.” 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
