Arin Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 What will he find at Hearthstone? I know this is just speculation and maybe a bit of fun. Will he find everyone under attack? Will he find that he has a new brother or sister? Maybe his father is dead and Hesina is married to Roshon now. Will he find Tara has gone there looking for him and is staying with his family... With a child? Will everyone be gone, except an old drunk begger, who tells him they fled to Kholinar? If any of these turn out to be correct, I better get an upvote. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I'm anticipating his dad being the town drunk, his mom to be dead, and possibly a little sibling although I wouldn't count on it. I'm also expecting the kandra worldhopper to be there, although we still won't be able to tell it's him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khyrindor Posted May 2, 2014 Report Share Posted May 2, 2014 I think we have a WoB that his parents are alive. Upvotes to anyone who can find it. Im betting Laral will have Radiant powers, Roshone dead, and his parents went to live with Kal's Mom's folks. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Kaladin's parents still alive, and if so, are they actually mad at him? BRANDON SANDERSON (GOODREADS) 1. Yes, they are still alive. RAFO. No need for upvotes. It was literally just a "Kaladin parents alive" search in Theoryland. Edited May 2, 2014 by Kurkistan 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailliw73 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 He met Hoid and, after faking his death, time traveled back to Scadrial before Rashek took the power of the Well. After he did, Tien was changed into a kandra. Hoid took him back to Roshar and he has been living there ever since. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 He met Hoid and, after faking his death, time traveled back to Scadrial before Rashek took the power of the Well. After he did, Tien was changed into a kandra. Hoid took him back to Roshar and he has been living there ever since. Well... not exactly. He did die, but Endowment was visiting Roshar and he Returned. After he Returned, that's when he went to ancient Scadrial and became a kandra. While on Scadrial, he assembled quite a collection of Hemalurgic spikes, with which he has assembled every form of Investiture into his child-like body. Eventually he will become the ultimate antagonist of the Cosmere. During the third Mistborn trilogy Hoid, Khriss, and Nazh attempt to bring him down, as foreshadowed in this Death Rattle: “I hold the suckling child in my hands, a knife at his throat, and know that all who live wish me to let the blade slip. Spill its blood upon the ground, over my hands, and with it gain us further breath to draw.” The "blade", obviously, is Nightblood's daughter. Man, the third Mistborn trilogy is gonna be so awesome! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You're forgetting the part where he visited Sel and trained as a Dakhor monk. That's where he and Hoid parted ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You're forgetting the part where he visited Sel and trained as a Dakhor monk. That's where he and Hoid parted ways. He didn't train as a Dakhor monk. Tien founded the Dakhor monks. He then Splintered Devotion and Dominion, framing Odium for the crime. Tien is the most dangerous Cosmere supervillain... and he's still at large. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Are you sure? Which of Brandon's notes did you see? I was sure that Tien had founded Elantris and then been corrupted by Odium. Maybe Brandon's been leaving a false trail for us all. There was also that time where Tien murdered all the God Kings who had been living on their private islands. Who do you think started the Pahn Kahl nation? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 You forgot that Tien is the reason that the TLR put Scadrial too close to the sun, caused the chasm line to appear, and gave the five scholars the ichor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 Don't forget that he is Ruin's father and that he created the Voidbringers. Oh, and who could forget the time he got angry and pounded the chasms in the Shattered Plains? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khyrindor Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 someone should definitely ask if Tien is the kandra during a signing. If he says "RAFO," then we know its a yes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrono Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Going on a more serious note and answering the OP's question, I believe that Kaladin's parents are both alive and living in Hearthstone. Laral will be unhappily married to Roshone and raising his child. Roshone is a drunkard and regularly abuses Laral and their child because he is still angry about losing his son. Lirin will also be a drunk (If he and Roshone were drinking buddies, I would laugh so hard, but the possibility of that is zero). Both he and Hesina will be ecstatic to see Kaladin, but Lirin will mildly resent Kaladin for failing to protect Tien and leaving to join the army. It's not a happy scene, but ever since Roshone's shown up, Hearthstone has not been a happy place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightsworn Panda Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Wow... Nice case of topic derailment. There's so many sad possibilities that's been put forward by this thread. Hopefully, Brandon doesn't do a stereotype "hero returns to unhappy home" and instead puts in an unexpected plot twist, like Tien reappearing.

Left Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 C'mon its The Brandon. He's good at avoiding these things. Or he just does it so well we don't care. And Book Down! has a way worse case of derailment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
