Toaster Retribution he/him Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 Ishar/Tezim has been set up since WoK, and I feel like that is a conflict that belongs in the front five, at least partially. So will we see Ishar and Sesemalex Dar in book 4? Or is it a 5 thing? Or am I wrong about where it fits into the story, and we wont get it until book 6?
Karger he/him Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I am hoping for at least a brief role in book 4. Stabilizing those kingdoms seems like a priority.
Inky Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I actually think he's more of a threat in the back half. Maybe he'll be a nuisance during books 4 and 5 but I don't actually think he'll be a major focus at all. Edited September 17, 2019 by Inky

Not necessarily, I wouldnt be surprised if the weakening of the Oathpack was approaching a tipping point, especially now that Heralds are Perma-Dying. My personal expectation is that Ishar's story is going to be tied heavily into Nale and the Skybreakers, so the more we see of Szeth the more likely we are to see Nale and Isahr. Though separately several of the Heralds look to be taking a more central role, and that will almost inevitably push the other Heralds more central on stage. Especially with Ishar, which several of them seem to (incorrectly) think is the only one who is not Insane,

I mean maybe, but Brandon has said that the Back Half is very Herald-focused, while the Front Half is Radiant focused, so I imagine big overarching plots about Ishar would, yknow, be in the Herald-focused section
