    Is there a topic with a discussion on the Parshmen/Parshendi? It seems to me that the Parshmen are different from the Parshendi dull-form. They are more "duller" in a way. When Parshendi meet with Galivar, they would ask "where are their song?" or something like that. It's like... I don't know. It's like if in the process to transform Voidbringers in Parshmen (Jasnah's theory), whoever did it got more than the Voidspren out of them, or broke something (the ability to bound? but that doesn't make sense, as the Everstorm is supposed to be able to transform them again).

    I don't know. Had Kaladin be more like himself, he would have been the kind to think "Oh no, I can't save them, why is everyone dying, how are they going to deal with the Assassin in White." At least that's how he react when he face death threat in tWoK, thinking of his men first. On the other end, I like the idea that Syl has free will and choose to force the bond in order to save him, even if he doesn't respect his oaths anymore.

    The fact that the eye color segregation has a legitimate origin doesn't change the fact that the present society is unfairly unequal. Ability to be a good ruler is obviously not hereditary. Your question is interresting. And if Moash give up his Shards without being killed (which I doubt will happen), would he become darkeyed again? Mistborn spoiler:

    I can't imagine her doing something so contrary to the windrunners oaths.

    I supposed his boon was to not grief about his wife anymore, and his boon was to totally forgot her.

    The Alethi have a "race" issue, as eyes color is hereditery and associate with higher positions in the society. But I don't see it as undermining the story or being commun, on the contrary it is one of the dimension of the novels I look forward to, especially from a fan of Victor Hugo. As long as the rulers are fair and honorable, is it OK to have a class of rulors and a class of inferiors? Mistborn spoiler:

    I do not find Kaladin choice so obvious. On one side there are innocents being killed (Moash grand-parents, Tien, bridgemen "whom only sin was poverty"), on the other side there is a king, with its own Shard. Which side "cannot protect itself" ?! It's fortunate for the story that Moash get a Shard and that Elhokar is left behind, it makes it a lot simpler for Kaladin to have a "right" option.

    Reading kawllock last post, I'm thinking Dalinar had a serious blind spot about letting villains free. About Sadeas, he really tries and can't find a way, but what about Amaram or Roshone, thinking removing them to a slightly less important position would be enough to avoid them doing any more harm... I suppose it can't be a coincidence, and going through that will be his path to become a Radiant.

    Hm, actually she got through the kitchen after sliding away, and ate at least one more sausage before Regrowing the young man.

    It may not be related, but do we have any idea why Jasnah wanted to assassinate Ausean (Elhokar's wife)? It could be because she fears she will be a terrible queen, but it doesn't fit, IMO, Jasnah's personality to kill on light reasons. It could also be because she had evidence of Ausean being part of something bigger.

    That's an interresting discussion you're having there. My question is, is it immoral by Alethi's standards? I don't think so. I can't be sure, as I do not share their standards. We know at least slavery is no problem them, and that Sadeas leaving the battlefield was not blameworthy either.

    My feeling is that he wants to avoid Radiants return, but is complied to attack only those for who he got a legal excuse.

    My bet is, his parents aren't in the town anymore. I know his dad really insisted in staying, even when it wasn't making any sense, but then he had hopes to cling to, with his plans for Kal. I think it may make a better story, if Kaladin goes there, had to confront Roshone (I'm really looking toward that :] ), and then has to hunt for his parents while obeing Dalinar's instructions.
