Lord Mist Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) Has anyone ever asked if the Weeping is the Sibling? Thanks. Edited January 9, 2019 by Lord Mist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eris Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 But the Sibling was sleeping during the Weeping? And lots of evidence (not on me but through the gem archives in the OB) they kind of imply that the Sibling is somehow connected the Urithiru. Do you have evidence to support your theory because I'd be interested to know your thinking behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 The Sibling was sleeping during the Weeping while the Chimney Sweeps were Sweeping, but Kaladin had a Salad in the Shower of the Tower when the fateful Hour struck and the Sibling was unstuck from the lumbering of his slumbering and the power in the tower turned back on. I have a disease, similar to Tourretes, where whenever I hear alliteration of certain variety I have to compose a Dr. Seuss like bit of nonsense. Please continue your discussion. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Mist Posted January 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 Could the weeping be the sibling sleeping? Do we know if it has always rained crem? i dont have anything solid to base this theory on just a few things in my head that could line up.

Well that would imply that the weeping was a spren and it might have one, for sure, but it, in and of itself, is not a spren. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eris Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I always though of the Sibling as the thing that controlled Uritherial. They had never heard of the sibling until they arrived there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Weeping is a time of the year when the highstorms pause, and it rains normally, for approximately two weeks straight. It's not an object so much as an event, and it doesn't contain crem.

Dalakaar Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't think the Weeping has anything to do with the Sibling. I'm guessing it has something to do with both the Origin, what happens at the Origin, and the Stormfather "recharging" to some extent. I am insanely curious what the Origin contains/how it works but haven't read the books/WoBs with that mind yet, so just vague ideas for now.

Lord Mist Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 This could be talking about the sibling: Quote The art on the walls was more enigmatic. A solitary figure hovering above the ground before a large blue disc, arms stretched to the sides as if to embrace it. Depictions of the Almighty in his traditional form as a cloud bursting with energy and light. A woman in the shape of a tree, hands spreading towards the sky and becoming branches. Who would have thought to find pagan symbols in the home of the Knights Radiant? OB CH29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kon-Tiki Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Well no that's not what I'm saying. I just think that there's iconography we don't understand. One appears to be associated with a Bondsmith, the other appears to be referring to a Bondsmith-level Spren. There's probably a reason for that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kon-Tiki Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 No I was incredibly vague, looking back on it. Though what I'm saying does involve the fact that what is presented to us is incredibly vague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mist Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Also the fact that it doenn't give the "person" a gender and the Sibling is called "Them" by the Stormfather. I think i have that correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equinox Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) I also just thought the woman in the shape of a tree would be Cultivation as in Dalinar's visit to the valley, she was described as a woman who's clothing seem to meld with the plants of the forest. The Nightwatcher, on the other hand, was seen asdark mist. But I have never considered the cloud, which seems to depict the Stormfather and not Honor. My bad.. But well.. Incredibly vague indeed Edit: One more question. If the Bondsmith Spren are on the artwork of the walls, why are there ten Spren depicted on other murals? Quote Other murals depicted shapes that reminded her of Pattern, windspren … ten kinds of spren. One for each order?

Good question, maybe we'll someday get clarification on what the Bondsmith spren in that group of ten looks like (pehaps some amalgamation of the Three?). Given that she saw "windspren" though, my guess is that there would be a depiction of Gloryspren for the Bondsmith, on the theory that the Gloryspren are the kind to form Bondsmith Plate).

equinox Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 She definitely identified Cryptics given her familiarity with Pattern. She could have mistaken Honorspren for windspren. Ahhhrg.

Lord Mist Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) Could Wisdom be a Shard? and could it be on Roshar? Could that be where the sibling get its investiture (Honor/Stormfather, Cultivation/Nightwatcher, Odium/Everstorm, ?/Sibling)? The reason why the Sibling is slumbering is because almost half the population thinks reading and writing is for women and most of the Listeners were in slave form?

equinox Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wisdom might very well be a Shard. I thought I read a WoB about that, but could only find that one (guess I read a discussion and not a WoB): Quote the.fulgid [PENDING REVIEW] Wit states, "Some men as they age, grow wiser. I am not one of those, for wisdom and I have always been at cross-purpose, and I have yet to learn the tongue in which she speaks." Is Hoid referring to wisdom as a concept? Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW] *Sly smile* RAFO. Footnote: Quote from Oathbringer Chapter 68source However, I don't think that another Shard is invested in the Rosharan System than Honor, Odium, and Cultivation: Quote Question How many different non-human immortals are there on Roshar? Brandon Sanderson Wow, very specific. Most of the Aimians count. They're both small races, but there are enough of them that there are dozens of each that count as immortal, and they're non-human. The two living Shards, I would say count as non-human immortals, and most spren count as non-human immortals. So there's a ton. source Chaos (paraphrased) How many Shards have existed on Roshar? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Three. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
