Innovation Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 So, I’m going to list what we learned from Cord here along with some of my speculations. The Horneaters consider themselves the “guardians of the pool,” presumably Cultivation’s perpendicularity. People from the Spren world, presumably Worldhoppers, come from the perpendicularity to trade. Rock drew a bow known as the “bow of hours” which signaled the dawn of a new millennium, heralding the “years of change.” However, by most of Roshar’s time it is a hundred years or so since the last millennium. The Horneaters seem to follow a different calendar. The person who draws the bow of hours is possibly called the “Fal’ala’liki’nor.” According to a treaty with the gods (Spren) and the Horneaters (or as Cord said, the “Seven Sacred Peaks”) a god (or Spren) cannot harm a daughter of the drawer of the bow of hours. This might extend to other family members as well. This pact is ancient and probably holds other stipulations as well but doesn’t extend to the Sleepless. The Sleepless do not want to harm a “Sighted one,” which seem to be people who can see Spren.
