Chandlerhimself Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I was thinking about what we know about the humans on Roshar and I think the humans came from atleast 3 different places. There seems to be completely different races/ethnicities and that could explain the why the parshendi and humans started fighting. The Shin apear to have large eyes which I believe just means they don’t have epicanthic folds. On top of this difference they have animals that are completely different from the rest of Roshar and there language isn’t related to other human languages I believe. The Iriali Are known for their blond hair it considering it seems so special I’m guessing that other groups don’t have it. The other humans such as the Alethi all seem to have similar eyes and languages. The fact their their religions are all different is IMO the strangest thing. In the Cosmere is seems religion is based at least somewhat on reality. I think instead of 1 religion being true and the others false I think they are all true here and the 3 groups of people are just from different planets. I think each was brought to Roshar by a different shard and that is what caused the fighting between humans and singers. In the dawnchant it says Honor told the singers to accept the humans and that they would stay in their designated area. The Shinovar seems custom made for humans as there are no storms and their animals can survive there. The Shin AFAIK also don’t go out conquering or even leaving Shinovar. This sounds like they’re doing exactly as honar said. The other humans such as the Alethi didn’t do this and in fact they don’t even seem to have any word about this agreement with Honor. I think the reason for that is that they were brought by Odium and Odium just let them run wild all over Roshar. I’m guessing they started fighting with the parshendi and then the parshendi assumed the humans broke their pact with Honor. I doubt the parshendi could tell the difference between humans and in their anger turned their back on Honor and turned to Odium to help them win back their land. Odium seems to be interested in strong feelings, so I doubt he cared who was fighting as long as there was anger and emotion. Vorinism seems to have somethings related to Odium in it such as pursuing you passion in life and the tolerance towards violence. The Shin religion on the other hand seems to against violence and fighting. I don’t really know where the Iriali fit in because I we don’t know much about them. Also I think the Amians are some type of advanced aliens who aren’t related to humans or Roshar. What do you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nymeros Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I think someone has been digging through information from Brandon Sanderson (theoryland or the coppermind perhaps). Where do you fit in black skinned people, blue skinned people, and horneaters with their red hair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainKing Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 So the blue skin people are humans who ancestors bread with one type of aimian, the horneaters and the herdazians are humans who ancestors bred with the Singers, and the Iriali have been confirmed to have came to Roshar after everyone else.

We have heard about the "Shin invasions" but we barely know anything about them, though they feature prominently in the "The Shin have the most..." theory.

Kaladin Zahel Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I also thought it odd that the Heralds don't all share the same appearances. I'm still closet theorizing that the Heralds are the Rosharan human equivalent to Adam and Eve from that one Earth book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angsos Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Why is that odd, we don't know where the Heralds come from but why should they look alike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandlerhimself Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 The blue skinned people are mixed with Aimians(I think there is a WOB on that). The horneaters and I beleive the herdazians are mixed with parshendi I believe. The people with dark skin are just people with dark skin I assume. They could have evolved differently on Roshar, but I’d guess they are just from a different region on Ashlyn and then when everyone came together to Roshar they just desided to live together. The physical differences are one clue, but the cultural differences are the bigger tell IMO. After looking into it seems the the people with darker skin do have some cultural differences, so perhaps they also came later, making 4 groups of people. I’m not sold on that idea though. The language families are also interesting. The Shin and Parshendi languages are both decended from dawnchant, which makes me think both of them have a connection with Honor. It seems like everything fits except the Makabaki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainKing Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I not for sure this is confirmed, but I pretty sure it's the Parshedi were born here, some humans came preshattering, more humans came after the catalysm on Ashyn, and then the Iriali came and probably one type of aimian or both types came to Roshar at a undisclosed time.

Yeah the Parshendi are native to Roshar. Quote Questioner [PENDING REVIEW] Is the Dawnchant native to Roshar? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] ...Yeah. Dawnchant is what they were speaking when humans came over. It is their language. It is the Dawnsingers' language. So yeah, that is native to Roshar. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we know is that a/the strain of humanoids that currently occupies Roshar existed before the Shattering. Where they existed at that time is still unknown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
