Adolin's name comes from "Adoda" meaning "light" with the suffix "lin" meaning "born unto", not the other way around. Oathbringer ch. 49.

This is my first post and once I learn how to use the quote function I will be able to post properly, I hope. Oudeis said that Lopen must have been something before because he was never near Kaladin after Kaladin spoke the third ideal. Unless I've missed something completely, I think they were together. One of the first things Kaladin is asked after he reaches Urithiru is Navani's question about her son. Kaladin says, "I put him someplace safe before coming to help Dalinar." We know that 'someplace' was with Lopen and the Herdazians. I know it doesn't say it in the book, but I think it safe to assume that Kaladin took Elhokar there and, therefore, most likely spoke to Lopen before leaving for the battlefield.

I'm one of those who has been reading this site for awhile and finally decided I wanted to be able to add some comments of my own. I am a senior citizen who has an almost obsessive love for reading fantasy - I rarely read anything else actually. My introduction to Brandon Sanderson was through his work on finishing The Wheel of Time. Then, last Christmas, my sister gave me the first two books of The Stormlight Archive. I have now read both of them three times. At some point I intend to read more of his books but so far have not done so. Perhaps someone could suggest where I should start with them as I have a while to wait for the third SA book. I am happy to have found a site where I can find out if others have the same ideas about what may happen in future books and where people treat each other with such respect even when disagreeing.
