lol i should have asked how many one arm herdazian jokes we could make

that sounds like it could be it's own novel the adventures of lopen It also sound like it would be an interesting read if he loses half the one armed jokes

in my opinion bonding a spren happens if your worthy of the bond not in conjunction with status or popular opinion

Thank you for that clarification as I said I'm no historian and I love to be corrected when wrong, how else am I to gain knowledge

Unlike the other orders Shallan only had to speak one oath and even then i believe that at the time of her mothers death Pattern may have materialize into her Shardblade out of need, if we compare it to Kaladin's journey to Radiance then isn't his powers also manifesting during great times of need so i think this was the first time summoning her Shardblade but her powers of observation and her ability to create works of art were what drew the unwanted attention of her mother in the first place On the matter of age It is more i would think these Proto-radiants would have been like a squire in medieval times, and if that is the case it holds precedence, unless the situation was almost completely lost they would not have needed to fight. Instead they would be trained in the keeping of their oaths and then using these marvelous powers in accordance to those oaths. Also in medieval times squires were chosen closer to the ages of 8 -9 not 11-12 do to the fact the it would take years to reach knighthood and most would be reaching that point around 15. saying I am not a history major but an engineering major who dabbles in art and writing who has come into this discussion lateand is catching up on the replies.

I think you give Lopen to little credit if more people in were to look at life like he does i think we'd find ourselves a lot happier with life. I relate with the way he tells jokes it's his defense mechanism against the jibes and ridicule of others. I like to believe that he represents courage and understanding, i think that should he gain a spren companion, it would be a courage spren because to wake up every day knowing that the world around you is likely to stare and look down at you is the hardest most terrifying thing in the world to do. in my eyes he is the the anti-bully in this saga.

An extremely diverse character how would you like to see him grow over the books
