A Joe in the Bush Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) On the ten Essences chart on the Coppermind, There are 7 things associated with each other. Number, Gemstone, Essence, Body Focus, Soulcasting Properties, Divine Attributes, Herald. I believe there should be more. Due to the Holy number of Vorin tradition and Roshar, 10, a chart like this would have 10 Categories or Columns during the Days of the KR. 10 by 10. This chart was made in World by the Ars Arcanum Author (Khriss?) so it can be Wrong. I think we can add the specific Order of the KR onto the chart, matched to their Herald, as well as the Silver Kingdom. This way, the Chart would be More Holy, and probably closer to the in-world version. So for Number 2, Nale's row, we could add Skybreakers and Natanatan. This still leaves one more Column, unless you count the Divine attributes as two, bu t I don't think that's likely. The Capitols of each Silver kingdom could Work, or the Spren of the KR. (I'm assuming that each of the Silver kingdoms also had a specific Herald more so than others. I'm guessing Natanatan because it sounds closest to Nale.) And I apologize if someone had proposed this before, but I coulnd't find anything like it. Edited May 6, 2014 by The Only Joe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Left Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Number, Gemstone, Essence, Body Focus, Soulcasting Properties, Divine Attributes, Herald, Order, Silver City, Spren. Not bad, it could definitely be a possibility. I'm not an expert with the essences but I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 And then Valhav could be Vev's and Iri is Ishi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mailliw73 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 You forgot Natanatan with the second order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Do not assume Khriss to be the author of the Ars Arcana. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailliw73 Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I also think that Thanath could be Tanat's corresponding nation. And Rishir might be Ishi's. With Shin Kak Nish, the Kak in the middle makes me feel like that could correspond with Kalak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksiel Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Some of the names of the Silver kingdoms look/sound like they can be connected to a herald, but not all of them and some names of the Heralds seem missing. I agree there's likely something, however I don't think the names are enough to determine to which herald does a kingdom go. I'd put Alethela with Talenelat as he is a herald of war and Alethela was focused on fighting. Also, I want to point out on the drawing of the Silver kingdoms, the Heralds are presented on defferent locations than on the KR chart - Paliah is on top as opposed to Ishi on the KR chart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolhead Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 Also, I want to point out on the drawing of the Silver kingdoms, the Heralds are presented on defferent locations than on the KR chart - Paliah is on top as opposed to Ishi on the KR chart. You got me excited for a moment there, but then I realized it's just arranged so that it's the mirror of the KR chart border when they're laid out on opposite pages as they are in the book.

Aleksiel Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) I don't think this makes it less significant. The Heralds are arranged in particular order to be by their respective KR and their mirrored arranged likely serves more than a stylistic purpose on the Silver Kingdoms map.
