  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Is that from the Jasnah deleted interlude?
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. It was a rock, I believe. Rocks>sticks any day. I mean, between Stone Shamans, Taln Stonesinew, Tien, Szeths oathstone and Numuhukumakiaki'aialunamor it is hard to see how a somewhat strong willed stick is given so much adoration.
  16. "I am sorry that you have to die this way." - The entire discussion between Dalinar and the Stormfather before the Everstorm was probaly the most dramatic moment in the series, with hopelessnes both above and below as the world is about to end. Also, on book one "You were right, Father, you can't stop a storm by blowing harder, you can't save men by killing others. We should all become surgeons. Every last one of us."
  17. I said Rock seemed more on the human side not because of his actions, but biologicaly and realmaticaly, since Horneaters don't hear the Listener Songs and don't bond spren to change forms. And even if bonding a spren of honor doens't just keep them from bonding a voidspren, since I believe that if Listeners bonded surgespren they would get a new form, not tradicional surgebinding, them how would it keep them from being influenced by it? It is not like a evil spren whispering at their ears, but one with direct connection to their souls. While I believe that a weak bond to a surgespren is still possible, I think that they would have to banish the voidspren to be able to have a complete bond, and even if it isn't necessary and a Listener can have a nahel bond AND a form bond, it still could interfer woth the oaths and make life all around hard to the listener.
  18. There is a theory out there that at first Honor and Cultivation gave their spren to the Listeners so they would help humanity to adapt to Roshar, and those Listeners became know as dawnsingers. Sadly I don't have the link to the full theory, since the last time I have seem it I was still a lurker.
  19. Brandon said Listeners are not of Honor and were not of Odium or Cultivation originaly, so it leaves us with they being directly of Adonalsium, since He is hinted to have touched Roshar before by to a somewhat ambiguos passage of the Letter in WoR. I just implied that it was impossible to have a working bond with both a voidspren and a surgespren at the same time, not that listeners always have a piece of Odium inside them
  20. So far very few people pointed one of the possible explanations for Kaladin's windsense: Adhesion. One of his surges is related to air pressure, so it could explain his windsense, something Dalinar also seems to use during his fight against Szeth. Or it could just be stormlight perfecting his natural talents.
  21. It was a haaaarrd call, but I believe Szeth's stone comes first because of what it means to him, followed closely by the Diagram, because i just love how West Wall Psalm of Wonders sounds, and it is in some ways Taravangian's own secret, terrible, dark master in a way.
  22. Roshar was touched by Adonalsium, just like Yolen. Maybe He just based humans and Listeners on the same base template and decided it would be nice if they could reproduce.
  23. Yes, since all magics in Roshar, except maybe old magic, seem to be bond based it wouldn't be shocking to see Rysn gaining something from the bond. Plus, they come from Aimia, and everything that tells us more about there is welcome.
  24. I believe horneaters are MUCH more on the human side of the human/listener mix. Also, I doubt it would be healthy for your nahel bond tho have a piece of Odium inside you. Still, I hope we will find out that humans can bond voidspren so we we can see anti-knights in the future
  25. We can't know if Eshonai would be convinced, and her support was crucial to Venli's plan. Still, I doubt that Nin was hunting surgebinders in the West because he believed they would convince the Parshendi more than half a continent away to adopt stormform.
