Asha'man Logain Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I looked through the Forums and did not see any threads about this. Hopefully this is a new Idea. Remember back in that Shallan flashback wherein she met Hoid, Shallan is trying to cheer up her family and gives one of her brothers a bunch of math problems. I do not have the quote at the moment, but when she looks back at him hard a work, she mentions something about predicting Highstorms using math. Did Shallan invent and/or start the practice of Stormwardens? If I remember correctly they are spoken of as being relatively new in WoK. If he figured out how to predict them mathematically and taught others, he could have been the founder of the Stormwardens, all because Shallan was trying to cheer up her family. The smallest of actions can have the largest of consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PudgyNinja Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 That seems like quite a stretch. If Kaladin's father worked through the high storm math as a hobby, it's likely that it's been around prior to Shallan making up math problems for her brother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arook he/him Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 I would think that she got the idea from them for her brother not the other way around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
name_here Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 Stormwardens are regarded as shifty, but I didn't get the impression they started within the lifetime of any of our viewpoint characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
