ScavellTane Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Thoughts?? With Todd in charge would the voidlight glyph be different? Edited November 24, 2020 by ScavellTane 2
Lightspine Posted November 19, 2020 Posted November 19, 2020 (edited) Perhaps, but I'm not sure what the implications of the glyphs are. Like, there's glyphs behind Kaladin when he swears his third Oath and on Ishar's Honorblade, so it seems like there might be something fundamental to them like the Aons are on Sel? My best guess would be that they have to do with vibrations—sand on a plate. If you use the pure tones of each of the three gods, maybe you wind up with something that looks like their glyphs? But in that case, would the glyph change? I think it would be a little whack if all of a sudden Navani had to rediscover the tone for voidlight. She'd probably be able to do it though, and it would be a good way to tip off to the Radiants that something about Odium has changed. On the other hand, the tone could be fundamental to the shard and thus not change at all. So if the glyphs are tied to the tones, then they wouldn't change either. I think this is fine because the phonetics of the glyphs might not need to be important. Like, the shape of the glyph is fundamental but people might have been the ones who took that and turned it into their words/language. So the old glyph phonetically says "Rasan's light" because that's how they constructed their language, not because Rayse being the Vessel physically impacted the glyphs shape. That's my best guess, anyway. Also, the most important thing I took away from these diagrams is HOLY CHULL IS KORAVELLIUM AVAST THE NAME OF CULTIVATION. ALSO IS CULTIVATION A DRAGON?? Edit: So I noticed that the Roshar glyph looks a LOT like the symbol of the Knights Radiant: This is pretty unsurprising, I guess. But wait! the blue lines that @ScavellTane drew on their post also correspond to the double eye at the center! So why on Roshar are the dots creating the double eye made from the glyphs of Cultivation and Odium? Seven of the dots are from Cultivation's glyph, 3 from Odium's. Odium's three are the Bondsmiths, Lightweavers, and Edgedancers. It defies all sense. Even if some of the orders are somehow tied to Odium, the Bondsmiths being one is inexplicable. And the Edgedancers are just so... Cultivationy. What's going on?????? Edited November 20, 2020 by Lightspine 1
