I'd compare him to Gavilar : Gavilar "united" by military conquest, T "united" by political slaugther (and manipulation) - but none of those two lead to a true unity. Give time to the political class of Jah Keved to rebuild itself, and then he'll have to build a true unity (like Dalinar had and still has to do with the Alethi warlords/highprinces). Moreover, and the wider scale... he's not uniting men, he's abandonning the vast majority of them (by being a spy for the ennemy) so that a few can survive. Doesn't strike me as a Bondsmith thing. But now war comms - and Jah Keved has all forces mobilized and collected in one spot, armed and ready. Suffered losses during civil war, yes, but now is practicly only kingdom immedietly ready for war against Parsh. Nothing unites better than common enemy. And remember, Taravangian is now man who end civil war. In public opinion, he is a hero. Also, im against judging him. In this situation every other man will be so scared that probably just ends as Odium puppet - and T was able to negotiate safe place for humans in case everything would go wrong. Remember, Odium can think that he has the best futursight, but Future isnt as clear as he want, also Cultivation doesnt speak last word eather. Also T knows that Dalinar now will not trust him, also we know that Shards cannot read minds (Mistborn). T can easly become double-agent. 2 hours ago, Dracnor said: 2) We have a WoB that Cultivation is the one that made him this way. Furthermore, I'm not sure that being granted a wish by the Nightwatcher Connects yourself to her - or did I miss something ? Clearly has some trace on human - Lift feels that Dalinar was in the Valley too.
+Child of Hodor Posted July 20, 2020 Posted July 20, 2020 Navani seems a good candidate for bonding the Sibling. Navani is a fabrial expert, Urithiru is described a giant fabrial, the Sibling is needed to make Urithiru work. I don’t know that I want Kholins to get 2 of the 3 spren though. We don’t know anything about the Sibling’s personality, not much to go off of. The Nightwatcher is so weird I don’t know who she’d be interested in bonding. Someone who tinkers with things, improves them, tweaks them? Is she like Cultivation interested in people who grow or develop things? That can have a wide meaning. Rock grows bonds between bridge 4 members with his cooking and affable personality. I feel like someone who already has spren is less likely to get a bondsmith spren. I wouldn’t be shocked if we eventually see someone bond 2 spren, but a Bondsmith Spren + another seems too much.
