    Uh, Szeth sacrified his life as a punishment for his own crimes, not to deny the truth. Unless you are speaking about how he sacrified his sanity. And he isn't pathetic, just... weak willed? Yeah, he is kinda pathetic sometimes, but I like characters who I can pity from time to time, makes them more human. Actualy, I believe Szeth isn't either the savior or the destroyer, because he is just a tool. He obeyed the stone shamanate without questioning, he obeyed the parshendi without questioning, he obeyed Taravangian without questioning, he just won't be anything other than a miserable weapon until he learns to storming question his storming orders.

    But it doens't say how it will end. Just that one of this characters may be a savior and one will be a destroyer. Kaladin just doesn't seem ambicious, visionary, or at least active enough to change the world in a large scale. Shallan is involved with a powerful conspiracy, Dalinar is the most powerful man in the world and Szeth is... Szeth.

    But didn't he have long hair? The man in the mirror seems bald EDIT: Nope, my mistake, he could have hair, the face is too zoomed in to kniw.

    Saying that a prophecy spoils the readers is like saying that it is impossible for a prophecy to be wrong or badly interpreted, wich is where all the fun of using prophecies comes from: they are right often enough to not be ignored, but aren't to be trusted either. Also, were did you take the idea that Kaladin is the "savior" from? For me he seems the least likely to be either savior or destroyer, since he just protects people, but doens't try to change the world and doens't hold or seek any secret worldchanging knowledge. EDIT: typos. Typing on mobile.

    Mistborn?

    Granted. However it is always raining, drizzling or snowing. I wish for a shardpen.

    Prophecies don't deserve so much hatred . I mean, if one assumes everything that happens is either a consequence of something else or random, so what exactly is free will? Not saying I don't believe in free will, but that IS a worthy question. And prophecies are analogue to time travel, in that they let future events influence the present, wich allows for interesting character motivations and the question of what happens if life is pre-scripted, and how rigid that script is. Of course, the problem is when a prophecy is used as an instant hero ticket.

    Wasn't ironstance based on brutaly pounding your opponent with overhead attacks and gappling with them if the opportunity arrised? From this it is possible to assume that it was made to fight human sized, and probably human shaped enemies. Maybe the grappling is connected to the surge of transportation, sending your foe to shadesmar and crushing it with thousands of beads controlled by you?

    Dalinar. He is a tyrant, isn't he?
  10. DreamEternal
    Vasher actualy had his Divine Breath. He just learned to supress it somehow. While supressed it does not contribute to heightening count, is "invisible" to lifesense and is not given by the "My life to yours, my breath is yours" command.

    Sazed?

    I find it more likely that the abandoning of their oaths broke the Plate somehow, even if not as much as the blades, since the helmet was taking all of Kaladin's stormlight and he couldn't simply choose to stop giving it, something that heavely limited his tatical options.
  13. DreamEternal
    Uh, the radiant who used regrowth on Dalibar was using a fabrial, plus when kaladin turns a shardplate helmet into a gaunlet it steals his stormlight.

    In the Brazilian covers there are images of them. Imagine The Hulk, but bald and with blue skin flayin off to reveal red muscles
  15. DreamEternal
    Interesting point about Ruin. So that explains why he seems to have had it easier than any other shard to control people.
  16. DreamEternal
    Maxal, I was joking that at early twenties Dalinar already had an biography called Oathbringer, because he was just that interesting.
  17. DreamEternal
    About him of course . I mean, this IS Dalinar, his life was probaly very interesting.
  18. DreamEternal
    Maybe the man in the mirror is Sazed? He looks scarily similar to how I picture him. Plus, one side of his face is covered by the mist while the other is somewhat skull-like
  19. DreamEternal
    There will still be Szeth chapters in it, most likely.
  20. DreamEternal
    Well, I hope that Szeth's chapters will be more about the Skybreakers than about Nightblood. I must be the only person here that can't stand its psychopaticaly eager personality for too long.
  21. DreamEternal
    Denied because the Nightwatcher is very offend at you implying any connection between her and word games. Boots are not accepted as an offering. I wish for absolute(aka:perfect) pitch, and please make sure my curse doens't make me deaf.
  22. DreamEternal
    Why do I have the feeling the flashbacks will just end before Dalinar even meets Shshsh?
  23. DreamEternal
    Choosing Eshonai would be an awesome way to differentiate the third book from the two before it, exploring new places and introducing new characters and magics before the completely revelation overloaded chaos that book four and five will be. I believe the middle book of a series is a good place to experiment and surprise readers.The same can be said of Dalinar and the Old Magic and Gavilar, or Szeth, Nale, and the Shin.
  24. DreamEternal
    Circuitry? You mean the metal frames? Because while they may or may not play an important role in determining what the fabrial does, the stormlight is contained in the gemstone together with the spren, so I would guess the stormlight is the fuel, the spren the engine and if the metal plays a part it us the wheels.

    Maxal: where exactly de we disagree about Adolin? I also believe he needs more screen time. Is it brcause I think it would be better for his growth if he gets exiled? Also, Szeth IS one of the main ten. Him just having half a dozen chapters under his point of view means he desperately needs more character development than Dalinar. Actualy, I believe it would be better for the current mains(except Adolin) to leave the spotlight temporaly so the others can grow.
