    I agree there's something up with Sebarial. (Just did the search, no, he's not in TWoK). I saw the WoB in one of RShara's threads of compiled WoB from the WoR tour (how's that for acronynms?) I keep latching on to a quote, "Everyone knows I like to set things on fire and watch them burn." I was also rather surprised at how easily Shallan could come and go without notice.

    I was also confused by the introduction of Ivory. It sounds like Ivory is also much more antagonistic to Jasnah, even now, than Pattern or Syl. The Stormfather also didn't really encourage Dalinar; despite the fact that a bond was beginning to form in TWoK.

    If my sister had given me a spren to bond with and it turned out to be an angerspren, I'd be questioning it, too!
  4. Aoibheann
    They're notable for their newness to humans & Honor/Cultivation spren (Syl and Pattern comment about it). In both cases Eshonai refers to them as angerspren.

    Brandon gives us plenty of spren descriptions, but the description of Angerspren seem to differ from place to place in the books. Humans get pools of bubbling blood. (that makes my blood boil) Parshendi get red lightning storms. It seems like there are two different types of spren called angerspren; angerspren and stormspren. Eshonai is not surprised in the first quote by the form of the spren, only that they appeared at her reprimand. Pattern confirms that stormspren are a type of voidspren. The stormspren seem to be hanging around the Listeners, just waiting to bond for stormform.

    Don't we have to dismiss this as the obvious choice?

    Graves doesn't tell Moash about the intent to kill Dalinar. Moash ends with:

    So, if Hoid is Spiritually blind, how is Shallan blind? emotionally?

    @hoser - You are so right! Last night during my re-read I got to the WoR chapter "The One Who Killed Promises" WoR spoiler: So ignore my post above. I don't think this necessarily refers to something nefarious anymore.... I mean "protecting" is good. Right?

    Adolin can feel the Thrill in Eshonai when they are fighting. He encourages her to make poor choices, leading to her fall into the chasm. The Spren causing the Thrill is about. Adolin is not influenced. Edit: there's a statement in the prologue to tWoK about the Dustbringers. It made me think they cause explosions.

    The WoK ch 69 epigraph: All is withdrawn for me. I stand against the one who saved my life. I protect the one who killed my promises. I raise my hand. The storm responds. I keep coming back to this as someone who ends up being a voidbinder and possibly Odium's champion. My list of contenders: Amaram, Moash, Elkohar, Sadeas (not any more), or Szeth. Right now I'm thinking it's Amaram, but I could be persuaded.
  12. Aoibheann
    I like this theory. It makes a lot of sense. However Szeth does hate everyone, himself included. He comments in both books " He hated his victims for being too weak to kill him." He hated the King of Jah Keved for having a feast; Szeth could blame him for all the deaths.
  13. Aoibheann
    I'm pretty sure there is WoB stating Szeth uses more stormlight for everything. His bond (or whatever) is less efficient.

    Sashara can not be Shalash. In my mind the theory would work like this: 1. Vasher/Kalad/Peacegiver is on Nalthis and Returns. 2. The Manywar happened, the treasury of breaths is left with the GodKing and his priests. 3. Vasher looks for an easier way to get investiture (he's just given all his breaths away). He goes to Roshar. 4. Honor/Tanavast is looking for someone to be a Herald. 5. Vasher figures he needs to do some good to offset the Manywar; he volunteers to be a Herald (Ishi). 6. Around one of the desolations the Heralds come back to see the spren have started the nahel bond. - His experience before causes him to want limits on the powers. - He establishes the 10 KR orders around the different surges. 7. After the breaking of the Oathpact, Vasher goes back to check in on Nalthis and we see the events in Warbreaker. 8. Today he's feeling bad about the Manywar and the Oathpact. Thus his comments to Kaladin about being able to sleep at night. I don't know if the timeline fits or not. The only reference in Warbreaker to the Manywar timing is centuries ago (unless someone has better research-fu than I do).

    Thank you for writing this all out! This is exactly what my thoughts were regarding the Unmade and the Listeners. Now to write out my theory on angerspren to tie it back to this.
  16. Aoibheann
    I think this is the connection to the Stormfather. It's not a bond, yet.
  17. Aoibheann
    @Yezdegerd - if you haven't read/listened to Brandon's other works, start there. Hoid is a recurring character who seems to be in the right place to influence many protagonists. He seems to be a bit part, but it's adding up. Once you've finished the other books (Mistborn series, Elantris, Warbreaker, etc.) come back for the Cosmere discussion.
  18. Aoibheann
    Is it possible Dalinar (as a potential/budding Bondsmith) would have seen the bond she's made with the Unmade? Could Bondsmiths have power over such bonds?
  19. Aoibheann
    What caused Honor's voice then? This is after Honor's death. The visions were sent by the Stormfather. The voice does not appear to be Dalinar's internal voice, it is "other" causing Dalinar's " What was that voice?" remark.
  20. Aoibheann
    I like this idea. It seems to me there's quite a bit of healing for the Stormfather to do. He is rather defeatist at this point. Maybe that comes from Honor's death, maybe it's from sending the visions for 7+ years with no one getting the right idea.

    @ Khyrindor - My thoughts exactly! Jasnah is close to Hearthstone. I wonder if she knows about the Roshone affair?
  23. Aoibheann
    Jasnah definitely has trust issues. Seeing those resolved or at least addressed will do wonders for her growth. She needs a partner (romantic or otherwise) who supports her while allowing her to be the strong, capable person she is. Otherwise her fears of being trapped will come true.
  24. Aoibheann
    For some reason I thought there were 10 Unmade; sort of evil counterparts for the Heralds.
  25. Aoibheann
    I think Dalinar was in the process of binding the Stormfather as his spren during WoK: Kindle version page 380 emphasis from the book. By the end of WoR the Stormfather seems annoyed that it took Dalinar so long to say the Words.
