+AutonomousJoy Posted November 10, 2020 Posted November 10, 2020 I was doing a reread of Words of Radiance coming up to the release of Rhythm of War. In Chapter 63, Shallan overhears Mraize talking about the Sons of Honor and mentions Restares. He goes on to say: Quote "No, I'm not worried about that one. The old fool sows chaos but does not reach for the power offered by opportunity. He hides in his insignificant city, listening to its songs, thinking he plays in world events." It appears that even back in Words of Radiance, Restares was in Lasting Integrity! And Mraize knew of this! The mention of songs he listens to is however very intriguing, perhaps we will find something odd about Lasting Integrity when Shallan and Adolin reach it? The way Mraize talks makes it sound as if Restares has been there for a while. How does he communicate with the outside world? Do spanreeds that are taken through a perpendicularity work with one half in Shadesmar, and the other in the Physical Realm? Amaram contacted him for advice regarding what to do with Kaladin and his squad mates, after Kaladin saved Amaram from the assassin shardbearer, so they must have some relatively fast way of communicating, or Restares was still in the Physical Realm at that point. Thoughts? 1
The_Herald_Ishar Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I could be wrong, but I had assumed he was speaking of Taravangian staying in Kharbranth. Not really sure what he means by songs, maybe the bells that ring during the Highstorms? I doubt it but I'm not really sure about that part. 5
+AutonomousJoy Posted November 16, 2020 Author Posted November 16, 2020 That's something I hadn't considered at all! It makes a lot of sense! Thanks!
