Jcudaj Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I have theory that I don't know if it has been brought up elsewhere. What if the sibling is the term for an unmade that has swapped sides as apart of the terms of the oathpact and is currently in a state of a coma as it's nature changes sides. Odium allows one of his minons to help humanity per each cycle and this rotates per each cycle. One of the unmade not active at present would be waiting for their new bondsmith to bond them as the "Sibling" currently sleeping has awoken as it's previous unmade self. This would account for there being 9 unmade while 10 is a specific number on roshar. It would also count for the unmade names to change as they have been confused as to which side they are and mistrust of the nightmother to be considered as one of the unmades.
Ashertliden Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I sincerely doubt that Odium would allow one of his minions to fight against him. Furthermore, the Sibling seems to have been "running" Urithiru even during the time between desolations. 4 hours ago, Jcudaj said: This would account for there being 9 unmade while 10 is a specific number on roshar. 10 is a specific number on Roshar, but the number 9 seems to be specific to Odium. For example, the 9 Unmade, who are Odium's splinters, and the 9-based centricity of Braize compared to the 10-based greater Roshar system. Quote Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Yes 10-centric is for the entire Rosharan planetary system...wait Braize is 9-centric. We also have this WOB: Quote Questioner I have a theory that each one of the Shards is related to a certain number. Preservation really likes 16, Honor likes 10, and Odium likes 9. Am I onto something? Brandon Sanderson Yes.
