Wyrdspren Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Was just doing a little thinking, and remembered that there are 10 books planned of the main series, and also 10 orders of the Knights Radiant. As a result, I attempted to see if they lined up with one another, using the main flashback characters, from what we know so far. Kaladin - Windrunner Shallan - Lightweaver Dalinar - Bondsmith Eshonai - ??? Szeth - Skybreaker Lift - Edgedancer Jasnah - Elsecaller Shalash - Lightweaver?? Taln - Stoneward Renarin - Truthwatcher The two missing orders from this are the Willshapers and Dustbringers, with Eshonai and Shalash wavering a bit. I know that Shalash is the patron of the order of the Lightweavers, but that made me think of something else. Is it possible that a Herald would bind to a KR spren of an order which they aren't the patron of? We know that Nale bonded to a highspren as well as having his Skybreaker honorblade. We know that Eshonai's sister, Venli, is on her way to becoming a willshaper - so that could be the association of that order as well. Any thoughts? It seems to match up decently for most of them, but it could just be a co-incidence but our lord and savior Brandon likes his numbers and associations, so I'm not sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toaster Retribution Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Theory is that Ash will become a Dustbringer at some point. It is technically possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calderis Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Eshonai, like Venli, would have been a Willshaper. Same spren and all. And that leaves Dustbringer for Ash, so all 10 orders. And I'll just drop the WoB since it's gonna come up anyway... Quote Cemci Have we-- I think you mentioned in a previous signing that we'd already met one member of every Order of the Knights Radiant. Brandon Sanderson Yes, I think you have. Cemci My question is, have we met two Edgedancers? And is one of the Dustbringers a viewpoint character? Brandon Sanderson One of the Dustbringers is eventually a point-of-view character. Cemci Haven't been yet? Brandon Sanderson No, not yet, I don't think. But it depends if you count the Heralds as members of their order. Cemci I don't. Brandon Sanderson Oh, see I would, because they're kind of heads of their Order. If you don't count them you have not met some from every Order. Cemci Have we met someone from the Dustbringers? Brandon Sanderson Well-- Dustbringers are really complicated. Really complicated. So that's the weird one. Okay? So let's shelve that one. You'll see why it's really weird later on. source 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyrdspren Posted September 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I was thinking that about Shalash too, especially with how she's been going around destroying depictions of herself, though I did think it would be a bit on the nose to have the nickname "Ash" when Dustbringers bond with ashspren haha. Thanks for the WoB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
