Commander Azure Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Look. I have absolutely no idea how feasible this idea is but I just had the idea that the Rhythms the Parsh hear is somehow related to the pulses Bronze mistings hear. Please, prove me one way or another, but it is certainly interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Signed Books 2016 (May 2, 2016) Quote Questioner If a Parshendi were to attain Allomancy and burn Bronze, how would they feel about the Bronze pulses? Brandon Sanderson They would feel that they were somewhat familiar but a little odd. Skyward San Diego signing (Nov. 7, 2018) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brgst13 Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 My theory is that the Rhythms are a result of interaction between the Investiture of multiple Shards. For example, the Bronze pulses are a result of Ruin and Preservation's Investitures. The old Rhythms are from Honor and Cultivation, while the addition of Odium produced the new Rhythms. They would seem similar since they have the same underlying cause, but odd because of the different Shards involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the conversation the ardent uses the word "soil" in a way most Rosharans wouldn’t. After the conversation he tells Dalinar of "our goodwill toward you" and that "we will speak with you again." The odd use of the word "soil" combined with what could be a vague reference to the ardent’s associated with a group other than the ardentia has led some of us to believe he might be a worldhopper. Plus, we know Nazh is around in the area, or will arrive soon. Is there truth to this idea, or are we overthinking this? Brandon Sanderson Alethi use the word "soil" on occasion in their language to mean "dirtied" or similar. It's a holdover from an earlier time. But they don't associate it with the ground, and if you see it used instead of stone like in this quote, it should indeed raise an eyebrow. Argent Sooo... I mean, my eyebrow was already raised. Let's not bait the RAFO too hard, and drop the worldhopper part - is there more to this particular ardent than meets the eye? Wait, hold up. How can "soil" be a holdover from an earlier time if Roshar was always a rocky place? Or did you mean that it's one of those words that carried over from Yolish, or whatever other language people spoke before they migrated to Roshar (like "hound")? Brandon Sanderson It is similar to hound, which is one of the ones that Hoid pointed out as an oddity. But people did not migrate from Yolen to Roshar. Roshar was inhabited before the shattering of Adonalsium. Argent Hmm. I am rusty on my Roshar history, I'll have to review what we know the topic. I know Roshar existed before the Shattering, and it was presumably populated, but I didn't think there had been humans there. They don't feel native. I've been working under the assumption that the Parshendi were native (maybe), but the humans came from somewhere - the Tranquiline Halls myths also kind of support that. Or have I missed something? Brandon Sanderson Technically, what I said doesn't actually contradict anything you just said. But just to be extra safe: RAFO. I have to keep a FEW secrets safe from you people to come out in the books. Footnote: Resolved in the OB tour. It's a worldhopper but not Nazh.
