Angsos Posted July 8, 2018 Posted July 8, 2018 What are the third group of Aimians, there's Axies, there's the dysian cremlings but did someone say there was a third.

We've only been told of two. The Siah and Dysian. There's been no reference or implications of a third. Edited July 8, 2018 by Calderis

Someone who battles with depression seems a dead ringer for handling an Unmade that might well perpetuate states of despair. Likewise, I see Szeth handling Yelig-nar due to his impressive willpower. Plus, the "screams" Szeth hears could have some relevance to Yelig-nar supposedly speaking with the "wails of those he consumed." Szeth's screams are not Roshar-specific. I do like the pairing of Kaladin with Dai-Gonarthis. Quote Blightsong Is anything magical going on with the screams Szeth hears? Brandon Sanderson Uhhh, Szeth's screams. Uhhm, I'm trying to decide how to answer this. It is not, see here's the thing. What we would call magical may not be considered magical in the Cosmere, but it depends on your definition of magic. Would Szeth if he were on our planet and have done those things would he hear those screams, probably not, but would someone else in the Cosmere who had gone through what he had gone through hear those screams, yes. Blightsong So it has to do with the spiritual realm? Brandon Sanderson Yea, mhmm, yea. source
Fire&Water Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Szeth is the natural foil to Yelig-nar as the only person we know of (along with, i assume, other shin) to have trained with all 10 surges. Side point, could someone bind 5 honorblades and have all the surges at once?

Yeah, they're not Roshar-specific, but if they are anything like the "wails of those [Yelig-nar] consumed", that would up Szeth as more understanding of Yelig-nar, making him the better counteragent towards potentially capturing Yelig-nar.

I don't think that those are specifically connected. Considering the nature of the screaming that Szeth heard, I'm personally convinced that the screams that haunted Dalinar after the rift were the exact same phenomenon.

I find it interesting that those symptoms seem to be stimulated by proximity to the Unmade, too. (I'm not trying to insinuate the Unmade being the source of them, just so I'm clear.) The point I'm trying to make is that I think Szeth having those screams hound him, in addition to @Fire&Water's point about training with all 10 Surges, make him better suited for handling Yelig-nar, particularly if Yelig-nar's reputedly accompanied-by-wails speech resembles those screams Szeth hears.
Kokotheworm Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 Concerning the Dustmother Chemoarish , does she grant boon to people ? Hence the confusion between her and the Nightwatcher . If so are we absolutely sure Taravangian's curse and boon come from the Nightwatcher?

It has absolutely no factual basis (sorry), but I really like it. It's always felt weird to me that the Old Magic is just what the Nightwatcher does. Maybe the Dustmother is similar to the Nightwatcher, but was just made/unmade into an Unmade. That'd be super interesting.

Hence the confusion between her and the Nightwatcher . If so are we absolutely sure Taravangian's curse and boon come from the Nightwatcher? I've been speculating a bit on Chemoarish, but the one thing I've been wondering the most is if we have actually seen a hint of her in Edgedancer. I mean, literally a glimpse, gone in a blink. This is when Hauka makes note of "strange black dust" that was gone in a moment. There was some speculation that this might have been a glimmer of a highspren trying to bond with her as she was showing investigative, Skybreaker like tendencies, but now with Oathbringer out showing us exactly what form highspren manifest in the Physical Realm, I discarded the thought that it was one of them. The black dust also didn't strike me as spillover from the Cognitive Realm, either, as there wasn't any indication that dust even exists in Shadesmar. So I discarded the thought it was from another Realm. Which then made me wonder what on earth black dust could be, unless it was a piece of the Unmade referred to as the Dustmother. Scattering yourself around as dust in the wind seems like a good way to, er, get the lay of the land. Sja-anat might Enlighten and use spren to act as spies for her, but she isn't necessarily the only Unmade who could gather intelligence. Edited July 16, 2018 by dvoraen
DracostarA Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 @dvoraen I believe it's mentioned in Edgedancer that the 'black dust' is left behind by Wyndle as he moves. 1

Yep, it's his vine trail crumbling away. I think it was in Lift's first interlude that she thinks about how sometimes people see it.
