I suspected it because of how complete it was. I had a hard time prior assuming it wasn’t the case because of simple human nature. While the vast majority of Radiants are people who want to help, if it mean sacrificing their own lives to save everyone, they would 100% do it. But in this case, it’s the potential life of a being they basically see as family. I figured they both agreed to it knowing the cost, or like it was mentioned, they didn’t know it would kill the spren given how complete it was.

It was the chain. It makes sense that when Oathbringer was released, Brandon when he was asked about the silver chain the store, he basically “Super-RAFO’d” it at the time.

Been away from 17th shard for a few months, didn’t realize people were referring to Taravangian/Odium as Todd now. Hearing about the evil “Todd” harming Hoid in someway was confusing. Especially since I think of Todd Howard when I hear the name.

Definitely clears up that mystery I had about her artwork. It was the only one that I wasn't 100% sold on if it was "official".

When he said the part of 9 groups, (probably dumb question) did he imply these 9 will have some impact on this storyline? Or did he just say there are 9 groups in the sense how you can find various worldhoppers on different worlds as a worldbuilding thing? And very good point on the ardentia comment, they have been sitting back in the shadows. And I think we've gotten potential hints that they will cause some big issues going forward. Brandon usually likes to keep big "villains" hidden in plain sight until the headliner bad guys are dealt with.

I did have the same question when I saw the portrait. All of the other Herald pictures were basically spot on from what I had imagined aside from maybe some slight outfit changes. Paliah was the only one I had to pause because she seemed far younger then we were led to believe. I'm not sure if these images are "official portraits" for us, or more like "in world" depictions of the heralds if you get my meaning.

I saw this theory on reddit posted by the user The_New_New and it might very well be the first time I've actually seen this theory put out. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormlight_Archive/comments/jlucp9/paliah_may_have_played_a_part_in_destroying/ It actually sounds very plausible that this would be the case, what do you guys think?

The Nale one keeps making me laugh at how stylish he looks. The Skybreakers have style

We've only had one in Axies, but he seems like a pretty aloof person in general. We've seen others, but we don't necessarily know they feel internally about what happened. Do we have a current estimate or any clues on how long ago the Scouring actually happened?

That would sure be some dedication lol, but I don't think that would be the case.

Does he also only do the main questline first?

I'm not sure they could've handled the Sleepless. Arclo in Edgedancer easily took care of those 2 journeyman Skybreakers. He said something along the lines of them not being able to do any real harm to him. Now with that said (and if it wasn't them), it makes you wonder what actually managed to destroy them.

I thought at first "one of them will destroy us" might have referred to Dalinar as the whole champion stuff. Everybody with some foresight seemed to falsely believe that he would fall to Odium and become his champion. Preservation even after she prunes him mentioned something along the lines of "Even if you are ultimately his" despite being the one to help him. But I definitely did reconsider that theory when I was researching about Aimia and the Dawnshards.

The Dawnshards was a theory I've also heard mentioned by others. It's going to be interesting learning how exactly Aimia was destroyed. Arclo in Edgedancer easily handled 2 journeyman Skybreakers and I would assume it would take some pretty powerful tools to get rid of them.
