Perhaps Navani's penpal is an unexpected third party to this conflict.

Not to mention treating his brother like a person.

Unfortunately people have a tendency to put a "crazy" sticker on someone and henceforth doubt anything they say.

Ash has always had problems, we're just seeing them through Kaladin's eyes and assessments now. As for Shallan I think reporting suicide is the safer option, saying "she may have been murdered by an unknown assailant" just spreads panic. She or Adolin can tell Dalinar privately what really happened.

This chapter hurt. We start with Kaladin feeling refreshed and happy again and end with.. that. Also Brandon please stay out of my head.

It might be coincidence but a couple of the Divine Attributes show up on Nalthis with the Returned. Lightsong the Brave and Blushweaver the Honest.

There is this But I can certainly see how he fits into the Stonewards as well, most characters can match a couple of the Orders. It's worth noting that not every Edgedancer is going to be like, or approach a situation like Lift. She grew up on the streets and so will help people in a different way to someone who grew up in a life of privilege, this doesn't mean that Adolin's actions or views aren't valid Edgedancer material. Perhaps we'll see more of it from him as the bond progresses, maybe we'll see another approach to the life of an Edgedancer.

Because they are separate people.

A potential fourth alter/persona.

Outside of what happened with Moash last chapter it all feels like his depression and trauma, honestly.

Poor Kaladin. Just... poor Kaladin. Navani dammit you are a scholar! On a different note soulcaster cache in Aimia?! Imagine if one of the Sleepless wrote that message (also real nice Navani, "as unthinking as animals" :/ ) If pewter makes augmenters perhaps tin makes diminishers, or causes the spren to be more receptive in some way.

As a child when creating her ideal family/life, she described part of it to Hoid as "mother loves me" and given her mother tried to kill her upon seeing she had bonded a spren... life wasn't sunshine and rainbows before the killing started.

Feels more like a gloomspren.

It's a term I came up with then but for all we know it'll become a thing as he carves out a niche for himself.

Renarin the Truthmaker. God I just want to hug Kaladin, what the hell Moash. But yay for Shallan's discovery, and recognising Moash has the Honorblade. Guess the "Moash infiltrates Urithiru and kills people" won't happen (til later where it'll hurt even more)

Zinc riots emotions, brass soothes. Same as fabrials.

RIP Ialai, we kind of hardly knew ye. The intrigue grows thicker. New spren: anxietyspren, like black crosses twisting in the air (a good representation of anxiety). Does anyone else think all of the different wines were meant to correspond to a person? The way she described them, I mean.

One has to wonder what distinguishes a proper fabrial from an improper one. Good to see Renarin is getting a handle on his Illumination (or what he has intead, potentially), and good to have book confirmation that Truthwatchers also make illusions. Not looking forward to the next chapter with Moash.... It appears that despite Radiant being able to summon Pattern as a Shardblade Shallan is the only personality with mnemonic abilities.

Third Ideal might be the bar. At least it is for the Skybreakers, but then Jasnah uses Shardplate as the mark of a full Radiant.

Ishar Herald of Luck, Taln Herald of War, now Chana Herald of the Common Man. Nice. And now we know both a basic principle of fabrialtech and a technique.

One day more....

Unfortunately humans' shapeshifting isn't extensive enough to achieve the forms, plus the lack of a gemheart.

The origin of Radiantslayer.

Unless we're missing something (which is entirely possible) the financial ruin resulted from their soulcaster being damaged in the fight, meaning they couldn't create new stone deposits.

I don't think she can, tbh. It sounded like once a Truth is spoken it can't be forgotten, which led to the creation of Radiant. If you can't bury it then work around it.
