+Child of Hodor Posted November 20, 2020 Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) In WoK epigraphs Hoid mentions he has a grudge against Bavadin and Rayse. This doesn’t necessarily mean Bavadin and Rayse were friends, siblings or father - daughter, but what if it does? Rayse was killed and Bavadin will surely notice. She holds the Autonomy, the Shard with most freedom to act and the OB epigraph letter from her indicates she can instill prejudices in her avatar. She mentions modifying the young avatar Hoid previously contacted so that the avatar hates Hoid. I kind of doubt new Odium will last past book 5. From a writerly perspective it feels like Taravangian should be dealt with while Szeth and Dalinar are main characters. But even so, Cultivation and the people of Roshar are responsible for Rayse’s death too. In the OB letter her avatar says Hoid shouldn’t rely on past relationships. This could mean Bavadin isn’t as attached to her old friends and family, including Odium. Even so, this book was Diehard: Urithiru in the back 5 we might see Die Hard With A Vengeance. Speaking of that movie: Quote There is a difference, you know, between not liking one’s brother and not caring when some dumb, Irish flatfoot drops him out a window.
