Arin he/him Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 That is my question. What void are the Voidbringers bringing? Through all of the desolations, I would assume it would have been brought by now. Any thoughts? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aether he/him Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 It has been suggested that it might have something to do with the Ten Deaths, the way Thunderclasts, for example, leave a hole in the ground when they are created. A void, if I may. Presumably, some of the other Deaths might do the same for their individual essences. Personally, I think this is too weak of an explanation. I believe it is more likely that it has to do with the wanton destruction they sow, leaving a figurative void wherever they go. Also, according to Dalinar's last vision in the Way of Kings, Odium's goal for Roshar seems to be to obliterate it completely, leaving nothing but a void. Whatever the answer is, it is a cool name, though. Which might be the "true" reasoning behind the name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numb Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I think it may do with why Shin view stones as holy and only want soulcast goods. The land doesn't replenish itself aside from the highstorms dropping crem so any kind of large scale mining or land mass destruction would be irreversible. The voidbringers seem to have a lot of abilities surrounding large scale removal of land mass(Decayform/Thunderclast). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AerionBFII he/him Posted April 17, 2014 Report Share Posted April 17, 2014 Void would be the most obvious answer i guess. I think they just want to destroy everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
