    Yes, unless there a way to turn everyone into a full metalborn, code morality into magic like in Roshar, or create a cheap and non-intrusive way to limit the metalic arts, like some sort of aluminum field, those with powers will be above those without.

    No, that is a reverse lashing. Pure gravitation.

    Plus, whatever he does when he is "riding the winds" and is followed by windspren may protect him from air resistence. I doubt the surge of adhesion is only useful for sticking things together, specialy for the windrunners

    Except after the killing rendered him insane he started hating the victims. And he always hated himself. Makes me wonder if Odium also hates himself.

    The problem is that we do NOT know what is going on hearthstone, so the most important par of Kaladins journey will probably be the riots at Kholinar, so unless Brandon just adds more complications along the way, Kaladins return to Hearthstone could be wrapped up in two Interludes, and the other two would serve as a nice setup for his plot at book four. The most relevant part of Kaladins journey now is meeting his father again, and unless he turns out to be secretely a Radiant, wich is somewhat possible, it could be finished quickly, be it in laghter or in tears. But if Szeth, whose story is only on the beggining and whose issues are completely unsolved, takes a minor role AGAIN, them you have an ectremely relevant character for the first five books just sitting there abandoned. And the same could be said of the Parshendi. The book in the middle of a series is one of the most dangerous since if you go too far you risk leaving to little for later books, and if you play safe it can end up boring. It is the best place to switch focus to equaly important characters that have been left in the shadow. My perfect division of chapters for book three would be 5/12 Urithiru, perhaps ftom the eyes of Adolin and Shallan, who have the most to lose, 4/12 Szeth and 3/12 Eshonai/fugitive parshendi, with Kalladin in the interludes.

    ^ ^ Also, you must know that Radiants also get some powers not connect to the surges, like the ability to turn those loyal to them into squires, giving them the ability to hold Stormlight. And each order has some special, unique ability: Lightweavers get their special memories, Windrunners get more squires, who may also be stronger than avarage Truthwatchers see the future Skybreakers apparently are able to discern between the innocent and guilty. Or are good at debating. The epigraph that talks of their ability is ambiguos. Nothing is know about the oher orders yet.

    Do we know that those in stormform can force it upon others? I remember those who refused where rounded up outside Narak by Eshonai to be killed befire they escaped. Or are talking about the Everstorm turning parshmen into voidbringers? Because parshmen don't have bonded spren, so it would be easier for voidspren to force a bond.

    As long as kaladin gives up some space for Szeth, the fugitive parshendi and Eshonai, if she survived the fall, them everything will probaly flow well. Also, am I the only one who loves Kaladin but hopes he stays in the interludes for the next book?
  9. DreamEternal
    It was originaly supposed to focus at least partialy on Szeth, given the possible titles Skybreaker or Stones Unhallowed, but Brandon seems to be considering some changes, since in more recent interviews he said that he is not fully sure.

    UPVOTE WAR! Who will win, the celebrated veteran, KOBOLD Or the endlessly resourceful upstart TWI? Discover at the next episode of Sanderson Memes, at 17th Shard! EDIT: By the Nightwatcher, Twi has already reached God Beyond and I only noticed now. Storm you, mobile version, hiding everyone's ranks.

    Odium is not realy hate itself, though. More of a god of hatred who hates everyone and wants to spread chaos an hatred.
  12. DreamEternal
    Yes, that makes sense. Sorry for my unfortunate, stupid, argument Skybreakers. Thankfully being wrong is not a crime here in Brasil. Or there in the US or wherever the rest of you live.

    No, she soulcast the globet to blood in her room. She was trying to soulcast something, maybe rock or shalebark, when she was completely alone in the gardens if I remember right.

    Unless you are talking about something that happened in Yolen, I can't see how End of All Hope fits Hoid. Also, to make my own sugestions: The Golden Age, The Great Escape and Iron, all by Woodkid, fit Kaladin like a worn boot. The Golden Age fits his youth at Hearthstone, Iron his time as a slave, and The Great Escape his victory and freedom. Also by Woodkid, I belive Ghost Lights fits the Parshendi, and perhaps The Other Side if you don't interpretate the lyrics too literaly. Viva la Vida by Coldplay just screams Elhokar. Demons, by Imagine Dragons reminds me of the time Kaladin and Shallan spent together in the Chasms.

    Is that from the Jasnah deleted interlude?
  16. DreamEternal
    Well, i suppose this makes sense, but rust and ruins, Lift travelled a lot. Wonder how she has been from Northern Iri to the doorstep of the vorin kingdoms and didn't see the Reshi Isles. Did she just walk all the way without taking a boat? Since she didn't have any powers yet i doubt she could travel so far only with stolen supplies. Makes me want to re-read her chapter and theorize.
  17. DreamEternal
    Does she? I remember she lived in the Valley of Truth. The main characters say it is in the East, althought everything is in the East for them, but Lift visited it sometime between leaving Rall Elorim and going to Azir, so Shinovar fits better. Plus, in the Baxil interlude it is said that she lives in the Valley, but it is not said wich Valley.

    I believe it is refering to Odium, who is growing more active as the everstorm aproaches, and may have been looking closely at the fight with Szeth, possibly wanting him to win. Also, with Renarin's spren, if we assume Ym was a Truthwatcher we know that his spren was quite timid. Plus, Renarin managed to hide for most of the book that he was the one writing on the walls, so we don't know if something was bothering him. Besides seeing the End Of All Things of course.
  19. DreamEternal
    Yes, but according to the Letter in WoR, Hoid did hide beneath the name of his old master, so we will see another Hoid one day.

    I am not sure if the Skybreakers would have anything against Hitler moralily speaking. Maybe they would reprimend his endless conquering as dangerous for the long term stability of the third reich, or support his enemies because they believe their sistems of rule are better for stability. The skybreakers are more about Order than Goodness.
  21. DreamEternal
    She could have soucast their weapons, if there was any risk to her life. Wich there wasn't, since they could stab her all day and she would be fine. And it ceased to be self defence ehen they started running away. Plus, she could just tell them that she would turn them all into dust if they didn't surrender themselves to the nearest legal authority.
  22. DreamEternal
    The greatest hole in your theory is saying the Nightwatcher may be evil, since she only seems to give her curses to those who seek out her blessings, and tries to give a curse and a blessing of equal value. Still, considering Cultivation apparentily stopped caring about Roshar, and the Nightwatcher lives in Shinovar, home of the misterious and fanatical Stone Shamans, I believe this theory is worth considering.
  23. DreamEternal
    Yes, but since the Horneaters don't bond spren the Listener way, I suppose your theory could apply to any human. Remember that the listeners aren't truly more vulnerable to Odius influences on themselves, they just have an esier time bonding spren, and voidspren serve as a perfect channel to Odium's influence. Still, now I can't stop thinking about how hilarius would be the consequences of two Listeners having a Horneater Drunken Song Duel in the middle of a Highstorm. In Iri, so they could bond Alespren.
  24. DreamEternal
    As character is only interesting as long as there is a balance between their flaws and their virtues, and it is often better to have that balance skewed towards their flaws. Characters like Elhokar, Szeth, and to a lesser, more mundane extent, Renarin, are interesting not because their strenght, but because of their inner weakness and how they deal with it, with variyng degrees of sucess. Or, in Szeths case, failure.
  25. DreamEternal
    Yeas, but having both bonds would require Listeners to be able both throught the tradicional way they use to choose forms and the way humans bond, wich would strike me as odd. Plus, having a bond with a voidspren is shown to affect your personality, and surgespren bonds appear to be very reliant upon an especific persinality.
