Storyspren

Good point. Maybe it could be related to how much Kal is thinking about them or a function of a number of factors including distance, cognition somehow, stormlight, books strength etc.

Thanks! I think that points me in the right direction.

Little help here guys? Who have we already seen having a shadow point the wrong direction besides Jasnah while not totally in shadesmar? Might be a foreshadowing clue there as to who is the red-eyes-golden-glowy-9-shadow-haver, presumed champion of something or other.

Renarin's future predicting powers are specifically called a thing of the voidbringers. Even gambling is mentioned as sort of voidbringery by Shallon in her more prudish first book phase. He'd have rather found out he was hallucinating, I believe, than that he really has powers he sees as voidish/evil. I'd think less of him if he went immediately into full on training mode without questioning at all what his powers said about him.

From my reaction to this, it's clear to me I'm a Sanderson addict. It's like Christmas got postponed a day.

Are we there yet? Mom. Mom! Are we close?

It could very well be that - Humans: Radiant:voidbringers Parshmen: Storm form/ other forms of power :voidbringers But the parshendi, who hid in dull form kept some knowledge in the form of (haha) their songs, whereas humans had folks actively messing up their knowledge base.

That would fit well with "taln" not really being taln.

So on board with the treaty being genuine. I want that to be true and the well placed adversary(ies) so weren't playing that homey.

So it says get them out of hiding in the new version Which is more compatible with there maybe being one not in hiding. But I was actually thinking the Herald in Gavilar's company might be under cover or at least lying to him. You're right of course. Wild speculation.

That's really interesting. When the random dude fishes nightblood out of the water prior to doing so nightblood directs him to the right spot. Not only does that mean nightblood talks to him but that he read the guys mind to gauge the needed vector... Or that's what I had thought. Maybe nightblood can see inquisition style or maybe that illegal fishing dude wasnt as random as he seemed?

Oh right, I think a herald was there because of the detailed information Gavilar has about so many things. Plus two captured void spren when they basically just invented the Rosharan equivalent of the light bulb (I mean the small heating). His info is herald level, or maybe from some returned that's been hanging around or a shard. I just assume whatever entity was feeding big G info would be at that meeting.

1) I don't think nightblood has to be held to talk to someone or read their mind. The best example is the guy who fished him out of the water. But as it is presumably almost entirely encased in an aluminum sheath, contact shouldn't every be necessary. 2) If nightblood was anywhere near someone who knew about Szeth or Szeth himself I think that the sword would want to get to him just for evil slaying. This sort of assumes Vasher somehow gives nightblood up or loses it somehow. But anyway I think nale might have been near that slave auction on this theory. But my leading candidate for the hypothetical Gavilar meeting herald is ishar.

Just chiming in with a few ideas: 1) The future combatants are not specified, so why not humans AND parshendi United against Odium? That would help strengthen the justification of the treaty while trying to bring about war. 2) The last book (not counting the novella) ended with the introduction of nightblood, who talks in people's minds, into storm light. The prologue mentions a voice in someone's mind. Coincidence? We've seen nightblood in the hands of minor characters before and what did it do? Try to get back into the hands of a major character. Who better than Szeth to slay evil? 3) GAvilar was working with a herald, but which? We have three candidates for potential heralds at the meeting one basically random dude and two random chicks. I like elhokar 's wife, who we already know Kasnah suspects of something, for one of the chicks. Or maybe Dalinar 's former wife; she's super sketch. Probably not both. Are there any princes who we've seen wear old school uniforms? If so, that'll be the current identity of our rogue Herald. 4) why are all those Heralds there if the Gavilar brigade is trying to force then out of hiding? Was Gavilar being double crossed by his own (herald) informant?

I could go for Chris Pratt as lightsong. That works. That dicaprio/ tom hanks movie about the fraudster airline pilot/lawyer fake check maker guy was on when I wrote the post, which I why I was thinking of Dicaprio for a role requiring humor. James Franco? But would he get buff? Probably not?

I really like your list.I'll have a go. Lightsong : James Franco Vasher : Wolverine Vivenna: Jennifer Lawrence Siri: Fresh face Blush weaver: Scarlett Johansson Susebron : John Snow guy Allmother: Jodie Foster Chris Pine might need to be cast in storm light archives a kolin. Kelsier has to be Dicaprio, otherwise I'd maybe put him on lightsong.

Dumb newbie question here... So the first returned in Warbreaker is named Vo. What's supposed to be the relationship between Warbreaker's Vo and Stormlight's Vorin religion? Does anybody know what the going theories are on this? For obvious reasons, this is difficult to search on. (Name of one thing contains the name of the other etc.)
