Stormwardens

[Vileviper he/him]

I myself  don’t know really what they are planning or if they are planning something. Yet in Oathbringer we hear them discussing Renarin and how to influence him. Jasnah sends Ivory to investigate them but I suspect it is to look after Renarin. They act more like shamans then scholars but they are planning something. We heard little of them in Row but have we heard more of there plan.

I always thought of this group as a bunch of mathematicians reviewing historical record (farmers almanac) and making “best guess” from that and not a group with any particular “magic”.   They do get the storms arrival wrong sometimes.

but ... any group with any amount of power will not wish to loose it but only strengthened if they had someone with “fortune” to make their predictions more accurate.  Take away the “need” for their existence by a bunch of wind runners with span reeds or just “ask Dalinar” where the storm is and they will act to preserve their jobs.

There is a stormwarden that helps amaram kill Kaladin men in WoK...

Good point do you think they may be involved in the sons of Horner or what’s left of them.

Some of them? Probably. All of them? Probably not

[Bejarden he/him]

Yeah that was my impression 

just trying to do life support for this theory

I have always assumed that Stormwardens have somehow bonded Windspren to learn when the storms would happen next.

Also, there was some stormwardens that were part of Gavilar's expedition.

Wasn’t it just math.

And if that had happened nale would have hunted them down

 And the only willsaperspren we see hate humans

He only hunted Radiants, bounding a lesser spren (if it's even possible) wouldn't make you one

I think you're confusing Windsprens and Lightsprens

Also Ico and his crew didn't hate humans, he just didn't trusted Radiants

I thought it sayed willshaper 

Also it’s possible to use math to predict highstorms so why would they not do that

And how would a windspren tell you when a highstorm is coming. Does Syl do that?

Lirin could do it so I doubt it's a spren bond.

[teknopathetic he/him]

It doesn't seem supernatural, but they do seem to have a distinct political or social agenda that is a ticking plot device. I would be surprised if Odium tempted them in some way, but I don't think it is required. 

[Serack he/him]

There is an excellent post from last December that has an interesting derivative theory in it speculating on stormbringer math.

If you could pin Stormwardens to a particular KR order, which would you guys place them in? 

I'm thinking:

Dustbringer, for wanting to keep innocents from great destruction. 

Truthwatcher, for wanting to find proven methods to predict storms.

Lightweaver, because Cryptics love math!
