Well I mean, with the thing red eyes said to Suit Kelsier can be ruled out I think. Trell is definetly not from Scadrial. I think it's Odium. The emphasized parts of the quote above could be a hint at the theme of Mistborn Era 4. I don't think Autonomy's intent fits with the whole genocide thing. It could also be one of the unknown shards.

I actually loved Steris from her very first scene with the marriage contract. Pure gold!

WoR chapter 78, epigraph: Mr. T is obviously talking about the Honorblades and from what I understand, he planned to "craft" a Truthless as a weapon he could use. Seems rather likely, that he had something to do with Szeth becoming Truthless in the first place.

I just found another quote, correlating to the Stormfather (and maybe Bondsmith): So according to Pattern, the Stormfather has bonded to humans before and survived the Recreance. I would assume, it's because those lesser spren don't have consciousness.

On the bondsmith: From Words of Radiance, Roshar edition So apperantly there was never a big number of bondsmith and i assume not all KR had Plate, since not all of them were out on the battlefield. (Jasnah mentions this at some point)

If you would have read my post, you would have seen that i included the very same quote at the end of it... I have guessed so, but I'm relatively new to the forum and thought i have to start somewhere. Necroing an old thread usually never yields the same results.

I can't recall, that we have ever seen Hoid in the nude. So he could very well have a bunch of armrings on his upper arm and/or some rings on his legs. edit: spoilertags, since this is not SA

Hey all, this is gonna be my first theory. I hope it hasn't been brought forward in this way. I have been musing about the origins of Shardplate. I got this idea on my current reread of WoR, in one of Dalinars visions. So i went back to WoK: From the arrival of the KR, falling from the sky, it seems a good assumtion, that this is either a Windrunner or Skybreaker. Same chapter, the KR that heals Dalinars vision character: The next quotes are from Dalinar's vision at Feverstonekeep. Dalinar looking out at the charging KR: With these quote, it's a good assumtion, that the Orders had Plate glowing with specific colors. What really got me into this theory, is the fact, that both Kaladin and Shallan attract huge amounts of Wind-/Creationspren. From Kaladins first flight in WoR: Syl was first described as a Windspren, though this is obviously wrong. But she shares some basic personality traits with them, i.e. playing pranks, flying around in highstorms. At multiple points in the story she calls the Stormfather her father, which seems like a good indication, that she is somewhat related to Windspren. Now 2 quotes about Shallan, boath aboard the Winds Pleasure: Here she is drawing Pattern, notice the amount of creationspren: So with all this in mind, I went to check the WoB for any hints Brandon might have dropped there. So with this quote I think it's save to assume, that Shardplate, much like Shardblades, were originally spren. Lesser spren, related to the bonded spren, that would form Shardplate. A very likely spren coupling is Honor- and Windspren for Windrunners. I presume something like this will come light for the other Orders as well. (Cryptics and Creationspren, maybe?) TL;DR: Original Shardplate was formed by lesser spren. edit: typos

Good question! But will be able to find out, since there will be no more Shallan flashbacks, I presume. Seems like Brandon is holding out on us! Also: What will be her next truth, because I doubt she is a full-on KR at this point. I was under the impression, the lies she has to uncover would be getting bigger. I doubt there is something worse in her past, than killing both her parents. edit: typos

But she has been near Elhokar, still no mention of Cryptics.

Maybe the cryptics were there to scare Shallan, so she would reestablish her link to Pattern. edit: She hasn't seen any sign of them since she has started communcating with Pattern again.

Am I the only one who wants this ship just because of the (possibly) awesome Syl-Pattern interactions?
