I dunno about shipping, that isn't really my sort of thing, but yes I am a genius.

So given the end of Words of radiance can we safely conclude that Dalinar has found the most important words a man can say? or would it be to early to consider that plot resolved?

I'm with Argent on this. It makes the most sense with the information we have at the moment.

No, the only other person who has been a surge binder for very long that I know of is Shallan and they don't make any oaths other than the first. Dunno about the edge dancers but lift doesn't seem like the sort to be taking oaths.

I think it has to do with the nature of the Wind Runners, they seem to be a strictly warrior order of the knights radiant. The elsecallers, lightbenders, truthwatchers, and Bondsmiths don't seem to be combat oriented. I think he is the only combat oriented one we have seen so far. Except maybe Lift who is an edge dancer, but she isn't a warrior she is just a kid. A strange one at that as well.

That is a theory i like. Is this your pet theory? or is there a larger thread some where for this?

Because it was out of character, he was always about battles and duels and challenging. Knifing a guy in a dark alley, that is not Adolin.

Honestly? I vote for Rock. But realistically I don't think anyone will be given it and it will be stolen because team good tends to end up letting stuff like that happen.

Sadeas was a rat, but killing him didn't seem in character for Adolin, he was always about duels and challenges etc.So ya I'm not supportive of it. Sadeas needed to die, but if it was going to be him being knifed in a hall by someone it shouldn't of been Adolin. If Adolin was going to kill him it should of been in a fight either a duel (unlikely) or in battle. The imagery of his white horse being killed was foreshadowing I think. Adolin has started on a dark path, or at least a grey one. Do I think he is going to become a villain? probably not, but I think he is going to be confused, maybe more so than Moash was at the end of the book.

Are you drunk? Serious question I swear.

What about Eshonai's sister? Her name escapes me at the moment but it seemed that her and her scholars might of been some sort of secret group with an agenda.

I've no idea, but I think the Diagram just knew of Gavilar, I think the Sons of Honor (they are the ones that want to bring back the voidbringers ya?) were the group he was a part of/head of and the Ghost bloods were just their opposite number. Honestly I think we might need some sort of cheat sheet, listing all known secret societies and who their members are.

I dunno, we have the perfect seeds for jealousy here here in Adolin, everyone he knows is a radiant. He just did something that many would consider wrong and will be investigated. The stress of keeping the murder of Sadeas secret, dealing with his jealousy of not being a knight, the death of his horse which he really really loved and then the possibly getting jealous if Shallan/Kaladin start making eyes at each other (which I hope doesn't happen). That entire mix just screams at me "he's going bad" or at least "he's gonna get tarnished".

So did anyone feel like Adolin's white horse dying was really heavy foreshadowing? Prior to the horses death he was a literal knight on a white horse. Now he has killed Sadeas, and everyone in his family is a radiant but him. He seems to be perfectly poised to go bad or maybe not full bad but at least get tarnished.
