    My suspicion is that it was the Skybreakers who scoured Aimia, for similar reasons that they were hunting proto-Radiants. I also suspect that the secret has something to do with Odium's imprisonment- they were somehow involved in trapping him. That also makes me wonder if the Aimians are also newcomers to Roshar.

    Correct, but the only way to tell it has happened, is to double check with a signal that does not go faster than light, so any actual information can not travel faster than light.

    Quantum Entanglement is supposed to be instantaneous, but it can NOT be used to send information faster than light.

    In case no one has seen this WoB
  5. ZenBossanova
    There is some weird similarities there. Are there any other Steel Alphabet letters that are closer? I have no idea why we would be seeing something like this. Let's just keep an eye open on this. One possibility, is the quasi-Hemalurgy when the dagger was used on Jezrien, but I am still doubtful. (yes, there is a recent WoB that this is similar, could be seen as, Hemalurgy)

    Questioner (paraphrased) Are the Parshendi of Odium? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Not originally. -- PadraicSeebrr (paraphrased) Are the Parshendi of Honor? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) No. -- Questioner (paraphrased) Are the Parshendi of Cultivation? Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased) Not originally.

    But why were the Voidbringers so intent on finding it, if it was just a random cryptic? There is something more to this.
  8. ZenBossanova
    Just a additional data point to consider: there is a WoB that the Listeners are of Cultivation and Odium, but not of Honor. Take that for what you will.

    My first thought is to say no, that won't happen, but on second thought, if that dagger really did steal Jezrien's power in that gem, and Kaladin were to use that gem to bond his honorblade, then that is a real possibility. And it might even be something he could survive, if mentally scarred. He would have Jezrien's full power to back him up.

    Thanks for clarifying, One Who Connects. Considering Vasher's attitude about Nightblood, I am surprised to see Vivenna with Nightblood 2.0
  11. ZenBossanova
    I rather suspect that Nightblood had something to do with that war starting in the first place. Just a suspicion.

    If that rate he consumes investiture is proportional to how long the blade is unsheathed, then that is the definition of exponential growth. And that can be VERY fast, given enough time. If there are any limiting factors, then we will probably get a logistic equation, which can be dangerous, depending on what those limiting factors are. But overall, less dangerous than simple exponential growth. In the real world, there are always some limiting factors. What sounds interesting to me, is what happens when he is around Voidbringers with unlimited voidlight?

    Nightblood is an imitation Shardblade, created by a different magic system, specifically the one on Nalthis.

    It occurs to me, that on Scadrial, metal is used for spiking. Would gems be used for spiking on Roshar?

    Do we have any other descriptions of Ashyn? Or of Braize? From the Coppermind, I get: Ashyn is mostly barren, with a few fertile patches.[2] While there are humans inhabiting this planet, a global cataclysm at some point in the past has forced most of its inhabitants to live in floating cities in the sky[5]. It currently has no shard.[6][7] The article on Braize just says: Braize is, according to Khriss, cold and inhospitable. However, despite being too cold to support life, many spren live there. Braize is unlikely to get its own books, but scenes from The Stormlight Archive will be set on Braize.[Citation needed

    The story reminds me of the story in Patrick Rothfuss's books, called, 'The Boy who Stole the Moon'.

    Hemalurgy is a promising way to look at it. The only thing that gives me pause is that Hemalurgic spikes normally have to be placed precisely. It may not matter for Heralds, because they are so invested. They are probably not concerned with transferring the spiked quality, as much as removing it from Jezrien. They would be most interested in just destroying what he had. And if the spike had some nightblood-type properties, all the better. Would we need different metal pieces to spike all the Heralds?

    I really wonder if it is going to be Rayse that regrets it. I could see Mr T using his deal with the Devil to his own advantage and tricking his way out.
  19. ZenBossanova
    There is certainly more than we have been told. Have humans always been able to bond a voidspren? Was Honor really the original Listener God? They are of Cultivation and Odium, but they are not of Honor. Did the fight between C&H and Odium begin on Ashyn/Braize? Then did all 3 come over from Ashyn/Braize? Why did humans switch so easily to Honor? There are far too many questions, IMHO.

    I am still trying to understand the whole 'I am Unity' line, but if the 5th Skybreaker oath is 'I am Law', then it is possible that what Dalinar was saying, was actually the 5th oath of his order.
  21. ZenBossanova
    Did Brandon really say that specifically about Ingenuity?
  22. ZenBossanova
    One thing I haven't noticed being mentioned, is that if Jasnah is Queen, then she will have to think about continuing her family line. I have no argument against those who point out her animus against men, or her asexuality, or who point out romance would be unnecessary for her. But continuing her family line/dynasty will be something she doesn't take lightly. An alternative here might be young Gavinor or any children Adolin & Shallan might have.
  23. ZenBossanova
    There is a WoB that we will probably not see Kelsier on Roshar.
  24. ZenBossanova
    I am still not convinced we have the entire story, though we certainly have some very damning evidence.
  25. ZenBossanova
    I agree, but they specifically said that would be a bad idea in the middle of a Desolation.
