Dun Sphere Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Even though his order is not mentioned, is it safe to assume that the Lopen would belong to the Stonewards since he had the ability to regrow his arm? Or is this just a perk of being a surgebinder?
Left he/him Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Healing is a default function of Stormlight. There is speculation that Lopen is not actually a Radiant but one of Kaladin's Squires. A squire is basically a half knight. We know they can draw in stormlight, but-as far as we know- they can't use it for surges. If The Lopen is a knight I expect him to be a windrunner like Kaladin, or a edgedancer like Lift.
Moogle Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 This thread has the theory on squires. I don't expect Lopen is currently anything but a squire. 2
Dun Sphere Posted May 13, 2014 Author Posted May 13, 2014 Thanks for the link. I just finished the second book and I already think I may need to reread.
king of nowhere Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 (edited) the lopen is an order all by himself, with the power to summon cousins to do his bidding EDIT: we may tentatively call his surges cousingbinding and favorcalling here an example of how his power works: -kaladin can fly with the power of stormlight. lopen cannot, but he has a cousin who has a cousin who owns an airplane factory, and owes him a few favors, so he can loan a plane and fly. -Kaladin can fight like a little god with the power of stormlight. lopen cannot, but after all they've been through kaladin is practically his cousing, so lopen can get kaladin to fight for him.

GreyPilgrim he/him Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 the lopen is an order all by himself, with the power to summon cousins to do his bidding His Nahel bond is with the rare cousinspren. His order is the Cousincallers. 2
Swimmingly he/him Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 "Eh, gancho, we've been through so much together you're practically my cousin!" "Um...Thanks, Lopen..." "NOW DO MY BIDDING, WHELP. THE POWER OF COUSINS COMPELS YOU." 7
Patrick Star Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 Lightflame already talked to Brandon about what would happen in "Stones Unhallowed", and was kind enough to share his findings with us. According to Brandon, Lopen is a member of "The Ganchos", a new Radiant order. Thanks, Lightflame!
