Frasure2 Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 So I just started Part 2 of OB, and something has been confusing me since the end of WOR/Start of OB. How do they infuse spheres at Urithiru? I've read multiple times that the city is above the highstorms and they are never concerned about the Everstorm because they are above it. So how do they infuse spheres there if the storms never touch them? I may have missed something and would like some clarity. Thanks!
Doomdrinker she/her Posted December 30, 2017 Posted December 30, 2017 I'm not sure if you'd have read far enough but it is mentioned how they infuse spheres there. I don't know how to do spoilers but it's on page 54
Frasure2 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 I am on page 395 of Oathbringer. I reread page 54 and still didn't get any clarity. Thanks for the response though!
Calderis he/him Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 (edited) @Frasure2 first off, this should be in the spoiler board. As to your question OB spoilers Spoiler There are baskets on chain mechanisms meant to lower spheres down into the storms themselves. Edited January 2, 2018 by Calderis
Frasure2 Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 Okay my fault. Thanks for the response!

.S.A.M.K.M Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I am betting the tower is the perfect lightning rod for storm light, possibly even void light. These energies are keep advantages to the knight radiants.

.S.A.M.K.M Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I am pretty sure the tower extend deep into the mountains. So parts far below could be exposed to storm light.

RShara she/her Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 But isn't it still basically inside a mountain? It'd be cool if Urithiru had a mechanism to infuse itself, but I'm not sure if there is a way for the mechanics to be possible.

The threads from that gemstone pillar seem to go all throughout Urithuru. If there are any exposed on the mountainside itself, but somehow protected, that could be a way to infuse the whole tower in one highstorm.

I mean, we do have to assume that stormlight can flow that way, but it's not a huge stretch.

As to your question OB spoilers Reveal hidden contents There are baskets on chain mechanisms meant to lower spheres down into the storms themselves. So before they found the mechanisms to lower spheres into the highstorms how were they able to infuse spheres?

I'm not sure of the page, I haven't done a reread yet, and it was in part one, during the preview chapters. I know it was in a Dalinar chapter prior to the wedding, but that's about it.
RShara she/her Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Quote The scholars had discovered long chains and cages, apparently used for lowering spheres down into the storms, so they’d be able to renew their spheres—if the highstorms ever returned. In other parts of the world, the Weeping had restarted, then fitfully stopped. It might start again. Or the proper storms might start up. Nobody knew, and the Stormfather refused to enlighten him.
