[OB] Who do you most want to see a flashback from and why


Recommended Posts

It’s kind of obvious from my handle who I’m most craving a POV flashback from! I want to know more about truthless; When someone is declared truthless do they all get a Honorblade. What do the Shamans from shinovar have to do with the honorblades? I have a suspicion that Nale has influenced their ideology . Mostly because they were convinced the Radiants would not returned which is something that Nale insisted on. Szeth wants to cleanse them, he is very angry with them. Do they deserve this? Or is Szeth just insane. if we learn this then we can guess if Dalinar will ever approve of Szeth 4th ideal quest. So many questions. Who trained Szeth? Do all members of his order train with all 10 honorblades like Szeth claims he has.? Is Szeth the best or are his peers of equal skill, or worse better than him....scary? So who do you most want to see a POV flashback from? I suspect a lot of Jasnah, a few Teravangion, but somebody may surprise and say somebody crazy like Navani! Tell us why u want to see it and what u hope is answered!

Szeth's backstory is bound to be intriguing. I'm very interested to see this 'giant spren of stone' Szeth has talked about and how that plays into the Stone Shaman faith. 

Also worth noting that you can duel wield Honorblades to stack surges.

Kythis

Can you hold more than one Honorblade at a time?

Brandon Sanderson

That is theoretically possible.

Shinovar would be a likely target for both the Fused and the Radiants as the Honorblades are such powerful tools. Imagine a battle between Szeth with Nightblood and his shardblade vs Moash duel wielding honorblades...

Well, out of the options (Eshonai/Venli, Szeth, Lift, Renarin, Ash, Taln, Jasnah, as I believe the order is currently planned) I'm looking forward to Eshonai/Venli the most I think. Also Jansah and Renarin, though I assume their flashbacks will at least partially be about the 15 year gap, and of course the Heralds because they might have some flashbacks all the way back.

Imagine a fight between Szeth and Szeth’s master who trained him : Szeth “ I have come to cleanse u Master son Truthless” Master “ You can try young padawain ( draws two honorblades) “

Taln. Allways Taln. 

He.Is. The. Greatest. Guy. In. Cosmere.

(+ Hoid, Kaladin, Dalinar and Kelsier are also SUPER)

They have been really secretive about Stonewardens. We have only seen one in a Vision Dalinar had . I am intrigued by them for this reason . Plus Taln held back the Desolation for 4,500 by hisself , that had to be a I’m a boss moment if I ever heard of one. The rest of the Heralds should really feel ashamed of themselves , some couldn’t even last 10 years . So yeah I’m with you on Taln!

I'm the most excited about the next book. The relationship between the Eshonai flashbacks and the present-day Venli chapters is gonna be sooooo good. Venli is definitely one of my favorite characters, so I'm so excited to see more from her. Plus, I just really love the Singers. They're just so interesting and I want them to be developed more.

Renarin's flashbacks will also be really interesting.

Jasnah.

I mean, I'm excited for the Venli/Eshonai juxtaposition, and I want info on the Stone Shamanate... 

But Jasnah. 

Not gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of Jasnah. It's not that I hate her, I just don't like her very much either. It will be interesting to understand how she became who she is today and what happened with that "illness" of hers, though.

Also, I don't understand the hype for the Heralds' flashbacks. I'd much rather have flashbacks from new characters and just get the info from the Herald flashbacks in the main story.

To each their own. I heavily relate to Jasnah, so I'm partial.

I'm excited for their flashbacks, but not so much the characters. 

The possibility of flashbacks back to the creation of the Oathpact and the desolations though I'm definitely intrigued by.

Next is probably Ash/Jasnah/Szeth they seem to answer alot of specific questions we will have. Also we finally understand why Szeth is Crazy face

(OB) spoilers Jasnah  has thoughts of subjects like this in her head: I’m sure the assasins around here have heard of me and my reputations for discretion : I may have to hire a few Like in the old days !!! How can u not want to hear more about that !!! Dude I can’t wait

I love Jasnah, so I want to see a flashback from her. She's got to have had a bunch of crazy experiences throughout her life, and I want to know what her research has taught her.

I'm also really excited for Lift flashbacks! Lift is one of my favorite characters of all time, and I really want to know her backstory with the Nightwatcher, her boon, and her curse.

I can't choose. I love Renarin, so I want his book only so I can get more of him in general (his past is the least mysterious since we've seen bits through Dalinar). But there are so many mysterious histories. Taln, Szeth and Lifts are probably the biggest mysteries so the ones I am most interested in.
