Mailliw73 he/him Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 I just finished Oathbringer, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't yet found a thread to discuss this in. I loved/hated the scene in Oathbringer at the palace where Kaladin is watching all those he loves fight each other and, in the process, Elhokar is killed. But, right before he is, he begins to swear the first Ideal of the Knights Radiant and begins to be filled with Stormlight. Which order do you believe he'd have become? I've wondered if he was on his way to developing into a Dustbringer or a Willshaper. Obviously, we didn't get to see much of his progression in his order. But what do you think?
Kidpen he/him Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Lightweaver. I feel a bit like a jerk sharing this, but I also feel obligated to: Quote Zantis [PENDING REVIEW] Was Elhokar going to be a Windrunner squire or was he going to be a different Order? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] He was actually going to be a Lightweaver. Zantis [PENDING REVIEW] Interesting. Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] Yes. And some interesting story with him because--here's a little tidbit for you... In the original draft that I wrote in 2002 I pushed him far enough that Dalinar had to kill him. It came to blows. And I never quite liked how that turned out, so in the 2010 version we had a different path for Elhokar. But he's been doomed from a long time ago, poor guy. source That was where Hoid's spren came from. I think it fits rather well, personally. 2

Thanks for that WoB! I did consider LIghtweaver too, actually, just didn't see any artistic inclinations.
Eluvianii he/him Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Actually remember in the first book when he's seeing shadows everywhere and then Shallan, in the process of becoming a Lightweaver starts seeing things that match with Elhokar's? I was pretty sure since there that he was going to be one but since they stop mentioning them in the second book, I forgot. Then my dreams were destroyed during the attack on the palace.
Solant he/him Posted September 23, 2018 Posted September 23, 2018 Also, the cryptic Hoid finds was the one meant for Elhokar
