Ripheus23 Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I know the SA doesn't have to reflect the WoT series, but I was thinking, what if instead of the 'giving up use of saidin' situation being the background, it is part of how Odium is defeated? Let's say that the corruption of the spren became such a pervasive phenomenon, alongside the ravages of the Everstorm and so on, that it turned out that the protagonists had to seal away their own power, to seal away the Voidlight too? Maybe the spren would even sacrifice themselves in the way of being cast out of the Rosharan system, with the Shards of Honor and Odium, leaving the elder spren, of the singers, with Cultivation, to heal the world of Roshar from then on.

+Q10fanatic Posted August 6, 2019 Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 Isn't this concept already playing out in the decisions that led up to the Recreance? Giving up power to prevent additional damage? I suppose we could see the current heroes wrestle with this idea as they learn about what actually happened back then.

Ripheus23 Posted August 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2019 I mainly just feel it might be poetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
