Urtan Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 I am relistening WoR and noticed something. When Kaladin and Shallan are waiting out the storm inside the chasms, he notices 2 distinct figures inside it. One is glowing and inhuman and the other is sleek and alien. Do we know what are those forms? I think neither of them are the Stormfather, since he manifests as enormous face and manifests later in the storm. My theory is that one of them is the Sibling. It might be "slumbering" inside the storm protected from harm. I have no idea what the other might be. Maybe it's another part of Honour separate to the Stormfather. 1
KandraAllomancer he/him Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 For a lack of a better word they are usually referred to as stormstriders and we know very few things about them for certain: Quote GreenRover During the storm that Kaladin was in with Shallan in book 2; those two massive walkers we saw--are those Parshendi, Unmade, or spren? Brandon Sanderson Spren, with the caveat that might not mean they aren't Unmade, because that's not an either-or.

Skyward Atlanta signing (Nov. 17, 2018) Quote OrangeJedi In several instances of the highstorms, several characters mention seeing large creatures walking in the highstorms; they don't seem to be super fazed by this. Do they know these creatures exist, is it part of their lore? Brandon Sanderson Yes. But you've got to also remember that people who are out in highstorms, they expect it to be... they expect to see odd things. When you're out in a highstorm, it does not faze you in the same way that if you go to a horror movie, you expect something horrific to happen. OrangeJedi Do they have a name for said creatures? Brandon Sanderson There are names in various parts of the lore, but there is no one name. OrangeJedi Could you give us one of them? Brandon Sanderson No. Skyward release party (Nov. 6, 2018) 5
