The Everstorm and Shinovar

[Gaz he/him]

The real question is, what will happen to the Stone Shamans if their religion is wrong and the Voidbringers are back?

[Green Fire he/him]

Well, obliviously what happens is they get a visit from a disgruntled former Stone Shaman turned Truthless Skybreaker with an incredibly dangerous Awakened Type IV BioChromatic Entity.

See. Something has just been bugging me.

Everstorm. That's what they're called, but it seems like they're just redder, flashier versions of highstorms. Just coming from the opposite direction.
That alone doesn't imply everstorm.

I think, personally -- for no actual reason -- that the everstorm will be slightly different. First. We don't know exactly how the Highstorms work. Are they constant, (i.e., they had ONE origin, then spread East-to-West, across Roshar, all the way around the world, and then back to the East Coast after picking up momentum in the open ocean)? Or do they just originate from the Origin like pulses, being sent out across the land before dying out in the Western Ocean.

I think there is an important difference there. One that separates a Highstorm from an Everstorm.

What IF. Highstorms are caused by the latter. Different storms coming from the same Origin being pulsed out (or whatever you want to call it.)

So an Everstorm would be the opposite. A Storm that's always blowing. Forever. So as the Everstorm makes it way around the world, it should grow in strength. It will get bigger. It won't stop.

I think that's the danger of the Everstorm. Not just a storm that blows the other way and can have even more catastrophic results when it clashes with a regular Highstorm, but a Storm that keeps growing and becoming more dangerous.

(And then the whole transforming docile Parshmen slaves into crazy, lightning-wielding Voidbringers thing)

Again, I have no real basis for this "theory". Just a feeling.

Between Szeth and the Everstorm, they are going to be seriously hurting, aren't they?

I wonder how long until Szeth just earns the nickname, "Everstorm"?

Hoid seems pretty convinced that the everstorm is going to hit Shinovar and that it'll be problematic -- that's good enough for me.  As to the stone shamans, worth remembering that they have most (if not all) of the unaccounted-for honorblades.  Presumably that is where Szeth got his, and presumably how he learned how to use it.

 

Remember that Szeth was completely certain that the shin stone shamans would come retrieve his blade when he died, despite the fact that anything that can kill Szeth is nothing to trifle with...
