King Krooked

I just wanted to thank Grey for saying some things that definitely needed to be said about the anger of the oppressed being villainized, and how there really aren't many differences between "good lighteyes" and "bad lighteyes". She made a lot of valid points from very nuanced angles, and as a POC, I wanted her to know that her views were very appreciated.

Szeth. The whole Szeth thing. Less Shallan, she makes my teeth hurt. And please let Kaladin do something other than brood. I'd also like to see a Fused POV.

Unless it's in text or a WOB, it's totally Tin Foil Hat territory lol. I'm definitely not new to this lol. I rarely post, but I've been Cosmere aware for over a decade. I see a lot of theory, and head canon pushed as fact here. I'm all for speculation, but lets keep it at that. As for the modern Radiants, they came pretty close. Kaladin couldn't fight the Parsh after he saw they were just normal folks. Shallan doesn't even know who she is between one thought and the next, so to me her opinion is a non factor. The Dustbringer is, and always has been Mr. T's camp. If it hadn't been for Cultivation, Dalinar would've been turned. Lift can't even count past 10, and only wants to eat. Renarin, we're not even going there. And Jasnah only cares about the truth, as long as it's true, she really doesn't care. They didn't have THOUSANDS of year of being told they were in the right. That's like if Christans discovered that Muslims had the true religion, it would hit the fan. It seems like to me, some folks just can't accept that the Recreance is what it is, and they feel the need to make more of it. Just my opinion.

From my understanding from reading OB, The Recreance occurred because they found out that the Parsh were the original inhabitants of Roshar, AND the discovery that they had already destroyed a planet through Surgebinding. This was the secret that Taravangian was keeping to use against the Coalition as well. It wasn't one or the other that caused it, it was both. Anything else is Tin Foil Hat territory.

An insane individual rarely if ever realizes that they are insane. So I personally could see a person slowly slowly sliding into madness and never even realizing it. Over time the madness would become normal to them.

I am so tired of, and care extremely little about Moash. No more Moash...

I personally think he took it to Urithiru. He said it was somewhere safe. That's the safest place he could think of, because no one else could get there

The way that I understood it, the reason it interferes is the Stormlight is the gems power the Plate. I'm thinking that it's like the Blades, that gemstones weren't needed to power the originals. And since Szeth needs more Stormlight than normal, he'd probably suck out the light powering the Plate. That was just my understanding of the situation.

You make a lot of sense, for a lighteyes..... Lol. I agree and also have wondered how Mr. T knew about the storm. The dates for the storm, or most of the other things that he knew, but would have absolutely no knowledge of (like the Unmade).

That is very possible. What with that expanded thought capacity and all. In addition although I could be very wrong, no other epigraph has been pinned down as talking about Hoid. And of course he should have one. The Letters are a completely different matter, so I'm not counting those

It's the "I glimpse at his implications, and the world opens to me. I shy back." That makes me think it's Hoid. Zahel's only been 2 places (that we know of) , so I don't think that qualifies him to be a "wanderer ".

But who is the wanderer , the wild piece, the one who makes no sense? I glimpse at his implications, and the world opens to me. I shy back. Impossible. Is it? —From the Diagram, West Wall Psalm of Wonders: paragraph 8 (Note by Adrotagia: Could this refer to Mraize?) I'm thinking this is speaking of Hoid. Haven't seen any discussion on this particular one, so I thought I'd start one.

If I'm not mistaken, Ivory is also a type of Cryptic. And to me personally, he doesn't seem like the type to really be a Lightweaver, but Eslecaller? Maybe...

If you could point me in the direction of that thread, I'd be most appreciative.

Sorry for double posting. To clarify @Chaos, did the ORIGINAL Shareholders influence the Shards Intent. As in the original 16 picked up blank Intent neutral Shards, and influenced the outcome of the Shard's Intent. From my years of lurking here, I don't think anyone has actually asked him this particular question.
