I used BWV 538 for tWoK. (J.S. Bach) I think I used BWV 548 for WoR. (J.S. Bach) I used Music in 12 parts, part 7 and Music With Changing Parts for OB. (Philip Glass) Music is very important, and only the best of music may be used for the Stormlight archive. No pop music is allowed. "You ruinsed it! Stupid Fat Hobbit!"

Hey! Syl is already Kaladin's "Ideal woman." <let the groans begin> In more seriousness, I am a long-time supporter of Kalarysn.

This is actually my debunked theory. Although I believe I (and you also) was right about 9 being Odium's special number.

Oathbringer Spoiler:

Anybody remember in WoK when Rock threw a tree at Kaladin and Rock says "was small tree"? Rock is a big dude. He is also a strong dude. I don't have a hard time believing a strong dude with Stormlight can pull a shardbow. Isn't Stormlight what powers Shardplate anyway? If anything else supernatural is involved, it has been involved since WoK time or even earlier.

You can see my Radiant order in my signature from another time this went around.

I'm surprised no one in this thread or the other have mentioned Syl's quote. What was it? "Be glad I'm the wrong kind of spren or I'd probably lick your forehead or something to get at your emotions" This could probably serve either side of the argument.

Remember Lightsong was able to see visions in those paintings, and he was not the God king. So Kaladin need not have as much Investiture as the God king, just a regular Returned, which I find highly plausible.

You know, I was planning to troll and necro so I could become the King's Wit again. It appears the Destination came before my Journey. Cremfather.

When Wait, this airport's bookstore has Oathbringer? THIS AIRPORT'S BOOKSTORE HAS OATHBRINGER. But my flight boards in 8 minutes. Ten Heartbeats. I don't care. Yeah, that was a while ago, but I am a slow reader, and I did return to earth (from Roshar) on foot. Alas, I have Returned (to the 17th Shard, etc., but not before destroying lots of evil )

I didn't even see that she was Vivenna until part 4. it was so storming obvious. <shamespren>

Kaladin sees the nine shadows in the painting "intended only for a divinity to see" the painting by Nenefra (an obvious Nalthis name) from the Court of Gods (in Hallandren). Of course it was supposed to have been burned in the court. So, was the painting, in fact, intended for Kaladin (who kind of qualifies given how much Investiture he uses), or can the same piece of art in fact function for more than one deity to different ends?

This is literally the climax page. There is no way you saw that humor until a reread.

There must never, ever be a movie made for this book. To begin, they would get the music wrong for absolute certain. It would be injustice. And I, as a Skybreaker, will not stand for it. It will not ... fly

Navani. She just represents everything I hate about women.

When you put mustard on a burrito, because, well, you've gotta know.

What are you saying here ...

When I first saw this I thought it was "Kill everyone. Then there won't be any copycat murder." Seems like something T. would do <shudder>

Hoid.

You're missing the biggest similarity: They both loath the "upper class" -- Nobles and Lighteyes.

Good luck getting past the holds before Christmas, lol.

Since so many people seem intent on matching the Unmade with Heralds or Surges or whatever, I thought I would bring this forward. I wish I could remember or find the WOB I think supports this, but each Shard has a number that is special to it, or something. For Preservation, it's 16. For Honor it's 10. And for Odium, it's 9. This is why there are 9 Unmade, and we'll see more 9 showing up as we learn more about Odium. EDIT: And why not add a crackpot theory while I'm at it? Adonalsium split into 16 numbered Shards. One through Sixteen. Another guess is that Autonomy is number One also.

So take what he said with a grain of salt. Literally. The salt is part of what makes them delicious

I was thinking along the same lines, but more in the way of how he describes his own ability. He Sees. So why not See things like those books before they were destroyed?

Could this be a way to trap the Unmade or would it mean **shiver** that someone else would be driven to commit suicide?
