Nothing-Ridiculous he/him Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) Hi there, I was just rereading Oathbringer and I noticed an interesting quote on page 383 during Rock’s chapter Quote He closes his eyes, kneading and humming his mother’s song to a beat he could almost, barely, just faintly hear This sounded like the Rythyms to me, I’m aware of the theory that Horneaters at some point mixed with the Listeners resulting in their ability to see spren, but I wasn’t sure if anyone mentioned this passage? If someone did just ignore this. Edited September 21, 2018 by Nothing-Ridiculous Capitalization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scion of the Mists Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 It's confirmed that the Horneaters have Listener blood and that that is what grants them their spren-seeing ability. I think it's pretty likely that that's where their Rhythm sensing ability comes from as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing-Ridiculous he/him Posted September 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 I have another question relating to the Horneaters and Listeners, so I'll ask it here. We know that Horneaters can faintly see the whole body of a spren (at least lesser ones), do we know if Listeners can do the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunadan Windrunner Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 I believe that characteristic would be further inhanced in a full singer. Inferring from the interlude in WoR where Eshonai is angry and attracting anger spren. “She saw them coming from a ways off, drawn by her emotion, moving with incredible speed-like lightning dancing toward her across the distant stone. The lightning pooled at her feet, turning the stones red.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karger he/him Posted March 18, 2019 Report Share Posted March 18, 2019 Also the singers Kaladin travels with can see the voidspren but Kaladin can't unless the spren specifically wants him see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
