    That is true. However, it would look very similar if someone wasn't looking too closely. People using stormlight also seem to give off a sort of mist/smoke material, so... quite similar.

    Maybe the whole idea with the hair has to do with growth. Teenagers going through a growth spurt eat a lot of food, because they need the basic materials to even grow.

    I personally think that Szeth is very likely to become a Radiant. He has to have been broken, and he even started to wonder if he was going mad, because every time he closed his eyes, he heard the screams of those he killed. Being rejected about the return of the Radiants, then being forced to kill hundreds of people, maybe thousands, has got to at least crack him.
  4. Elsecaller3414
    It definitely seems like similar magic. The first part that popped into my head when I started reading the prologue for the fourth time was "Hey, that sounds a lot like Nightblood!" The dark energy that Szeth described the sphere having just seemed to be the same.

    So, does Cultivation manifest itself as a spren? Also, I have no idea if all larkin suck Stormlight. It almost seems as if the one Nale had was dying, so maybe they need the Light to survive?

    Also, when Syl disappears at the point that Kaladin falls into the chasm, I wonder where she goes then. Does she go back to Shadesmar?
  7. Elsecaller3414
    So basically one can be honorable but not beffitting the spren because they are not broken. Now that I think about it, I can see that with Adolin. Though that brings me to another question. When the Surgebinders hear the screams in their heads, is that from the Shardblade, or is it from their bonded spren?
  8. Elsecaller3414
    Well, after a while, Eshonai simply stopped attuning to Peace, or similar tunes, because the screaming was so unbearable. If you notice, she doesn't hear screaming in her head before, when she had a shardblade. It does say that shardblades cut through the Parshendi armor, in several of the battles where Dalinar is fighting.
  9. Elsecaller3414
    Yeah, not entirely sure why Adolin wasn't chosen. Elhokar had great potential as a king (or possibly future king, depending on the time), but I think he blew it because he was so whiny and "oh, I'm helpless, and the world is going to end" all the time. Although, if Elhokar was rejected by the spren, why does he still see them in the mirror?

    That storming book has gotten me cursing like an Alethi for at least the last few months! Although, it does get a little repetitive after a while, what with storms, storming, stormfather... I might need to find a little more variety.
  11. Elsecaller3414
    Indeed. If the cross-breeding does exist, then it would have been several thousand years ago, so it is unlikely that the same traits would show up in a Horneater as in a Voidbringer. If they were affected, though, wouldn't the Veden be affected, too? They share some of the same genes.
  12. Elsecaller3414
    Ah. Good point. I can see how that could be.
  13. Elsecaller3414
    At first I was confused by your reply, because I thought "Shire? I didn't know that hobbits had horses." And then I remembered that it was a kind of horse. Sorry about that. Anyway, it makes sense. Ryshadium would have to be war horses to the extreme, because the normal horses are described as "fragile" in WoK. It seems that the Ryshadium have much more endurance and stamina than other horses. It might be that they were bred for Shardbearers specifically because the Plate is so heavy.
  14. Elsecaller3414
    I am sure that Elhokar will become a Surgebinder of some sort. At Adolin's duel in WoR, he mentions seeing things with strange symbols for heads in the mirror, kind of like what happened to Shallan. That is what tipped me off.
  15. Elsecaller3414
    So is it possible that the Shard is on the other side of the world from the highstorms? This could potentially be true, but I'm just throwing it out there for speculation. It might explain why the storms get weaker as they travel west. That, or it is just because they are on land and the weather patterns cannot be sustained for long without dying... I don't know.
  16. Elsecaller3414
    Is there somehow a way that they jolt out of Stormform? The parshendi may have done that after the desolations. Otherwise, they would have been forced to take a form, and that does not seem to be the way it works. Maybe the parshmen wanted to get revenge for their people in the future, so willingly gave up their lives for the opportunity?
  17. Elsecaller3414
    We are pretty sure that he is Taln, though. He claims that he is.
  18. Elsecaller3414
    I just tend to ignore things posted on April first, just to be sure.
  19. Elsecaller3414
    So Hoid is basically a brain in a jar? I don't know what I think about that...
  20. Elsecaller3414
    I doubt the Unkalaki (horneaters) will be influenced by the voidspren, because Rock would be evil, and that would be sad. The Highprinces probably left their parshmen back at camp because they could not chance them becoming angry at touching the dead Parshendi, but they had no idea what the Parshendi were doing at the time. I hope that Eshonai did not die, mostly because I want to see where the story goes. It feels like a hanging ending. One question I have about this whole shebang is can the Listeners get out of storm form? If so, how?
  21. Elsecaller3414
    Well, we do know for certain that Taln is darkeyes, it mentions it when someone (Dalinar?) goes to his cell for something.
  22. Elsecaller3414
    Seriously, though, I agree with Shallan in that Alethi are freakishly tall!
  23. Elsecaller3414
    Unless the Heralds got bored and decided to make mischief, like something my friends would do. Interesting points, though. I never thought about it like this before.
  24. Elsecaller3414
    Maybe they have both. On some mammals, the hair looks like scales, like on a pangolin. Its plates are actually made of the same stuff as hair. So... maybe they have the crocodilian look, but with more mammalian genetics. I don't know.
  25. Elsecaller3414
    The genetics on Roshar may vary slightly from what we have here. Different colored eyes are still not common, I have only heard of maybe two cases in both books. I personally believe that the reason for the different colors in the hair of a single individual is because it is co-dominant, kind of like when you mix a white animal and a red one, then end up with one that is roan. Earthen hair manifests itself as one color because one gene dominates the other. Does that make sense?
