Yeah, also it would probably be hard to get them all the way out in a small town.
-
Or like how Dalinar traps that Unmade in a gemstone, except it can affect anything supposedly.
-
I agree that shipping is one of the most subjective things out there when it comes to people finding support in the text for their ship by reading into subtext. But we aren't talking about subtext here, we are talking about literally what the text says. The text literally notes the ten heartbeats the first two times he summons her, and then notes that she comes at seven the third time. You can claim that the text is being deliberately misleading due to the character being wrong but you can't claim it's being ambiguous here.
-
All of those cases were due to the direct intervention of a Shard. We have no evidence that it could happen spontaneously, and the explanation that Timbre was just a spren that was going to bond/in the process of bonding with Eshonai and latched onto Venli after Eshonai died was always the simpler explanation. and the one with the weight of textual evidence behind it.

[OB] Syl and Shallan's Spiritual Connection
CrazyRioter replied to Dreamstorm's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think the cosmere view is that there's a lot of possible futures. I'd guess the echoes thing is echoing the ones that are very probable. But people have free will, like what happened with Jasnah and Renarin at the end of OB. -
I wish Eshonai hadn't died, but I thought that theory was kind of silly personally. Spren don't work like that and a spren that was probably Timbre was seen briefly in WoR anyway.
-
He seems to be making some progress on that after his time with the Wall Guard.
-
I think what he meant was he hasn't made a final decision. Brandon sometimes changes his mind on things before they get into the published books.
-
Shipping is a highly subjective thing. I think this is much less subjective. Also Brandon is very careful and meticulous with his magic systems, if he feels the need to point out something related to the magic that's very significant.
-
It's interesting to note that both times the text explicitly notes the ten heartbeats. This implies he was paying attention, and also that the readers are supposed to be paying attention.
-
hahaha welcome. Jasnah is pretty awesome, she's not my favourite character in the Stormlight Archive (that's Kaladin) but she's top three for sure.
-
I don't think the deadeyes usually decide where to move, they are just drawn towards where their corpse is in the physical realm in the same manner that the beads are drawn back to the location of the physical object if left unattended. It's worth noting that the several other times he summons her in that battle it's normal, it's only the one time he desperately needs her to and asks her to that she comes faster.
-
technically they can breed I think but without spikes their children will just be mistwraiths.
-
If dead blades were capable of communicating with their owners under normal circumstances, even vaguely like with what happens with Adolin and Maya, it would have been noticed. The fact that she is able to communicate with him indicates that something unusual is going on.
-
She can't cross over physically like Jasnah does because she doesn't have access to the surge of transportation. She basically just astral projects. Also I hope we get more Shadesmar in future books, the Shadesmar chapters are some of my favourite.
-
I have to agree that Eshonai fits that one epigraph way better than Venli. Venli isn't a terrible candidate but Eshonai was better. And I still don't really feel like Adolin is Willshaper material. He's neither an explorer or a scholar and seems to become uncomfortable in situations that are unfamiliar. His reaction to ending up in Shadesmar typifies that.
-
We have WoB that throwing massive amounts of stormlight at the problem will not fix the dead spren.
-
WoB has confirmed that it's possible for somebody other then their original partner to bond with a dead spren and heal them and I believe that these WoBs strongly suggest that that a Nahel bond is necessary (barring possibly direct intervention from a Shard) to heal them. As for Adolin being a Willshaper, I don't think he fits them at all, he's not unreliable, he has issues with relationships in particular but they don't stem from being unreliable. We have WoB that his relationship issues stem from a subconscious lack of self-confidence.
-
She's described as "angry" when attacking the Fused. I think if she was attacking simply because she wanted to avoid pain if he died, or being used by somebody worse she'd have been afraid not angry. Also, she told him her name. That looks like being friendly to me.
-
Buy. Lift will become a worldhopper and eat everyone's lunch.
-
I'd say since she attempted to remove a Fused's face on his behalf she probably doesn't hate him. I'm interested in what would happen if one of the Radiants touched Maya while Adolin was holding her at this point. That would likely be an informative experiment. Relis' Blade apparently accused him of killing it when Kaladin grabbed it.
-
Adolin has some known anger issues, and a long history with Sadeas in particular. He snapped under provocation. He doesn't enjoy killing in that manner under more typical circumstances. He's a bit bothered after the Thaylen City battle because he's struck by killing other humans.
-
I note that these battlefields were not UN sanctioned battlefields with "don't shoot the medics" rules. They'd have had to be willing to fight in self-defense at the least, or risk death or wasting all their Stormlight healing themselves or dodging and not having enough left over to do the thing they were supposed to be doing.
-
But we've also been told (Including by Nale who is a primary source on the matter) that some Edgedancers were present on battlefields and apparently considered quite dangerous. So obviously Edgedancers don't have to be pacifists. Lift is one Edgedancer, and spren can differ in attitudes .
-
It's not completely impossible to live that long naturally, the oldest known person was 122 (or so) when she died. But Allomantic pewter probably helps.
