Thanks, like I mentioned I'm a relatively new reader of the books, so haven't read most theories or stuff that Brandon has said on them. Good to know that one was specifically nixed. I knew about the autism but didn't realise that seizures and autism were commonly linked. I think with Adolin, he knows what his son is capable of doing. Adolin is a great duelist and capable warrior so he doesn't feel the need to protect him as much as he does Renarin.

Wax/Steris and Wax/Marasi could both work...Steris' contract allowed for mistresses

Yea, was never quite sure when he went to see the Nightwatcher. Although with the few things that seem important to him (His Family, His Country, Codes of Honour) there could be several things that could make him go there. His sons though seemed to ultimately be the most important thing to him. So, if there was one thing that might drive him to seek out the Nightwatcher, I think it would fit his character to be protecting one of his sons.

Well, Renarin would have been born before he visited the Nightmother considering that as a result of the visit Dalinar couldn't remember Renarin's mother, so a childhood disease that was killing him would have fit. I don't get the idea from the text that Renarin's illness is anything new.

I'm kind of new to these boards since I just recently read TWoK and WoR but the thought that came to me was that they're sometimes related. My first thought was that whatever is causing Renarin's issues was originally deadly, so Dalinar's boon was to save his son's life and in return for one member of his family's life he lost all memory of another family member. Don't know if this is a common theory but it was the one that came to my mind as I read. In this way, Renarin became a Surgebinder because although he didn't go to the Nightmother for a wish, he would have been affected by her (or maybe he was brought there by his father).

I could see Harmony setting it up somehow, maybe having a Kandra request she be sent an invitation or something. But remember that Marasi wasn't just left off the list, she was explicitly put on the banned list and not to be let in.
