This seems to imply that stormlight is composed of Honor and Cultivation's investiture, at least in some part, currently. Being able to create a nahel bond spren, which is of Cultivation and Honor from stormlight indicates this.

Yes. He has a really great speaking voice. He can project really well to an audience or person.

Oathbringer Spoiler

@TheHunter Awesome work. Much appreciated. It was awesome talking to you at the event. Hopefully get to do so again at some point. For people transcribing: The Reading and Q&A does contain a reading from Oathbringer. If you don't want to get spoilered for that, the reading starts around the 14 minute mark and lasts for close to 10 minutes. Start a bit before that if you don't want to get spoilered. I can get exact times later when I have time if someone hasn't done so already. I'm going to try to transcript the reading this weekend if it hasn't been done by then as there is some interesting information I want out of it.

This is precisely why I think the Diagram works compared to his attempts during high intelligent days. Those days, he's directly interfacing with the population and trying to convince them based on the logical analysis he has performed. With the Diagram, he's not bothering to convince people or explain anything. He's just pushing everything forward and manipulating the events, thereby preserving the predictions of the effects of his manipulations. Nonetheless, I do agree that some external entity likely did interact with his thought process during this time, perhaps to nudge him towards certain conclusions. The Diagram did also have some realmatic impacts somehow.

It could've been Kaladin. The entire conversation with the Stormfather happened between Dalinar seeing the people arrive and him seeing Kaladin, so Kaladin could've transported them then flown up to the top of the tower.

There are no similarities with Scadrian High Imperial, nor did I say there were. I just changed everything he said to an appropriate High Imperial line which conveys the same meaning more or less.

If that were the case then she would've appeared in the Shattered Plains or Urithru as I think she would've had to cross over very close to the perpendicularity.

It looks like a larkin.

I think that would only work as long as it's in the region where AonDor functions, at which point it's just another power amplifier like Elantris. The thing is, I don't think Aons have any power outside of the region where AonDor functions.

Were you the one who played against him first?

When I asked him about it, he said that he usually always wants to play MTG, so will if there are enough people who want to at the event.

Not a really relevant criticism to the whole theory but do you have a source for that?

Here's a discussion on the matter. Didn't really seem to have a definite conclusion though.

This is a brilliant analysis. If I could upvote more than once, I would do so.

No, the annotations confirm that the Susebron was the actual child of the God King before him. The priests know of how to have them reproduce, and try to do so. They prefer having the actual male child, but if an infant returned appears they take it as a sign that it's time for a new God King and have a succession.

No, he can't just transfer stormlight by command because that's a property of breath specifically, not of all investiture. The WoB is that Vasher hasn't been able to figure out how to awaken using stormlight. We don't actually know if he's tried though. Edit: Removed false bit, see below.

Yeah, sorry. That was intentional. I just accidentally added it and I can't seem to be able to delete quotes on my phone. Probably should've made a comment on that. Here's the quote if you actually want it though.

@Lightflame How did the MTG games go? Do you know the names which are going to be in Oathbringer?

The nahel bond is a connection between the spren and the KR via the cracks in the KR's spiritweb so it does have a large spiritual component.

Brandon confirmed Shalash is Jezerien's daughter at an event.

A guy I met there said he got a good recording of it so when he manages to I'm sure he will post it. If you want details for now, I can write a more detailed summary.

@TheHunter. Has recordings from the panel and the signing.

@TheAlmighty. Nice, I was close behind you. Also, can you but the Oathbringer details in a spoiler?
