Like a lot of people here, I came out most Truthwatcher... I guess it's because a lot of us are bookish? 69% Truthwatcher 55% Elsecaller 34% Lightweaver 9% Bondsmith 6% Skybreaker

Hmm, I think it could prove a problem for the part of your theory which claims that the Listeners have no obvious connection to humanity; the Listeners' ability to interbreed with them is definitely a connection! If we accept your main point that the Listeners predated humans on Roshar, then it seems more likely that they were a creation of Adonalsium than naturally evolved lifeforms, as Adonalsium would have been able to create Listeners that are genetically similar enough to humans for the two species to be able to interbreed. On a slightly related point: do we know that Honor created all the human societies on Roshar? I seem to remember reading theories that different cultures (specifically the Shin) came from other planets...

I imagine that Dalinar looks similar to Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones, despite Brandon saying that Dalinar doesn't have a beard... Rock looks like Barret from Final Fantasy VII, I've recently noticed when re-reading Way of Kings that Rock has red hair, so I'm trying my best to change my mental image
