1 RShara she/her Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 The Rhythms are the Rosharan version of something that happens throughout the Cosmere. As in, they're independent of the singers hearing them. Brandon's said that Seekers should be able to hear the Rhythms, too. Quote Aethenoth Can an Allomantic bronze burner hear the Rhythms on Roshar? Brandon Sanderson Yes, this is possible. General Signed Books 2016 (May 2, 2016) 1
0 Quantus he/him Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Related Question: Would Dalinar's Language-by-Connection trick (or the Scadrial Medallion version) allow a human to hear the Rhythms if used on a Singer to gain their language?
0 GoWibble he/him Posted October 9, 2019 Author Posted October 9, 2019 Pretty sure that you would not be able to because it has to do with the type of Investiture, not Connection that they hold. I think that the connection bridge would allow you to speak with them, and still express emotion, but only limited, and not in time with the rhythms.
