+Oltux72 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 OK, looking at Szeth or the Skybreakers as such, a question opens up. What would Szeth do if Dalinar dies? A dead Dalinar obviously cannot agree to anything. Is his quest to clean up Shinovar dead on arrival? Can he ever fulfill his goals? Can he proceed? What if Shinovar were to slide into the sea? And what would all the Skybreakers sworn to Nale do, if Nale met that evil dagger or Nightblood? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I think I am here. Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think they’d regress their oaths, and then would have to make a new third oath. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightblood Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yeah, or they would have to follow the memory or last thing the person said. Continue to follow Nalan or Dalinar after death. For the fourth oath I don't think he gets the full power of the fourth Ideal until his crusade has been completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quantus Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ya, I think if one of the oaths became unatainable, particularly the Oaths of Dedication or Crusade, the they would regress (the way Shallan did) and have to speak new Words. Certainly with Szeth, if his Crusade is not approved by Dalinar he'd have to find a new one before he could proceed. If Dalinar were to die, I think it might depend on whether Dalinar had left him with any standing Orders or some such uncompleted Task, but I could see it playing out where Szeth would be Bound to fulfill Dalinar's Dying wish/command before he could Re-swear the 3rd, and then have to find a 4th that wasnt specifically worded to require Dalinar's approval.
