    I like the basic idea behind this, I don’t think that writing a book is part of it though. “I will protect those who can not protect themselves” - 2nd Windrunner ideal. ”I will protect even those who I hate as long as it’s right” - 3rd Windrunner ideal (Kaladin version) ”I except that I cannot protect everyone“ - 4th Windrunner ideal. “I will show others how to protect themselves” - possible 5th Windrunner ideal. Which is something Kaladin have been doing all on his own already. And in this context the Alethi war codes could be a remnant of some 5th ideal Windrunner/s. Damn, I just realized that it’s also “A Wisdom of Lirin” like the rest of the oaths: I think we are on to something here.

    Ever read the Dahak series by David Weber? The premise is that the moon is actually a moon sized battleoid with a super AI at the helm. Now all I think about is connecting Mbot to Detritus as an anti-delver weapon.

    Absolutely. I truly think that releasing it all in the same volume with interposed chapters would make for a great read, I know I would recommend future new readers to read cytonic last chapter after evershore, knowing the end of evershore was coming was a bit of a letdown. It’s a mark of how talented are Brandon and Janci both that the end was still thrilling but I would have liked to be surprised.

    Am I the only one who feels like in some way Skyward conception was “hmmm, I miss Vin, and shipping her with Kaladin would be fun!”?

    I agree with every word you wrote Falchion. I really enjoyed it, way more than I expected.

    That’s a very good point that I haven’t thought about, do you reckon that each order color is a matter of different ratios between Tanavastium and Koravarium, and if so would Glys, Renarins’ spren, in shardform would be a mixture of all three god metal? Would Renrin colors would be different than ordinary truthwatchers? So many question.

    Alas, I was wrong. You win some you lose some

    I’m pretty sure that shardblades and plates are solid stormlight. The condensation on the blades is actually the stormlight going from gas through liquid and than solid.

    I can’t think of someone more suited to be a pain in Kholins’ ass than Lirin tbh. He is the most un-Alethi Alethi in all of Roshar, I mean we are talking about a pacifist Alethi, and a stubborn one to boot.

    It actually came up in a different thread so I’ll just quote my theory. Bondsmith aren’t as malleable as other radiant, they have a strong moral compass that help them set a path to others, be it Dalinar as a warleader and politician or Navani with her pursuit of technology and the betterment of mankind ( and by the end of RoW sprenkind when I come to think about it), the relationship between a godspren and its Bondsmith requires a very strong will to succeed. Now, do we know someone who’s interested in healing, have a very strong will and a moral compass you can set Roshars’ magnetic north with it? Enters Lirin. And having a Bondsmith for a father and Kaladin as a brother will set little Ordeon nicely for the back 5. Two years from now, you all will either congratulate me or resurrect this thread to make me eat my hat

    Whos’ level of power? The unmade? If you mean the singers than I’m sure we will find out that Ulim was there all along whispering instructions from Odium.

    Nah, it’s a small p and there is a difference between taking an oath not to do harm and taking one to protect, one is passive the other is more active. I agree that each and everyone of Kaladins’ oaths have been essentially things his father already told him but that doesn’t mean that Lirin will end up being a Windrunner. Let’s think about it this way, Kaladins’ journey has been the predicted dissonance between the soldier and the surgeon and through that time Lirin has been representing the surgeon in Kals’ psyche. In the end Kal find peace by realizing that they are both right, each in their own way, but they are different. I highly doubt Lirin will become a Windrunner, storywise it’s redundant and uninteresting, I don’t think that we have time to see Lirin struggle with the fact that sometimes you have to kill in order to protect, and besides I don’t think he is capable of crossing that particular obstacle. If Lirin will bond a spren I think one of the things Brandon will use him will be to show us how the similar oaths/intentions can be so similar and yet so different that they “click” with other kinds of sprens, sort of like how The Lopen is used to show us that the oaths have dipper meaning that are not the same for each knight within the same order but on the entire spectrum of orders not just within one order.

    Airsick lowlanders, you are all clearly mistaken. If Lirin is going to bond any spern it will be the Nightwatcher. And he is going to bond her in the next book (if he ever going to bond a spern). Bondsmith aren’t as malleable as other radiant, they have a strong moral compass that help them set a path to others, be it Dalinar as a warleader and politician or Navani with her pursuit of technology and the betterment of mankind ( and by the end of RoW sprenkind when I come to think about it), the relationship between a godspren and its Bondsmith requires a very strong will to succeed. Now, do we know someone who’s interested in healing, have a very strong will and a moral compass you can set Roshars’ magnetic north with it? Enters Lirin.

    Not necessarily, I mean it’s a given that Odium was a part of it after all they are His unmades, but let’s say that you have some sort of ancient powerful nearly godspren like type of spren that by allying with Odium the singers were part of the reason they were unmade, maybe the moment the fused were made the unmade were well... unmade. So the spren flocked to the humans.
  15. Blackwarder
    I always thought that the singer betrayal of the spern is somehow connected to the Unmade, my best guess is that odium enticed some of the singers into unmaking one or several sprens into the Unmade we all know and love today. By doing so they effectively killed those spren (maybe the first time a spren ever truely died), a so heinous crime only eclipsed later by the mass genocide the recreance caused.

    Sorry, didn’t get any notification. I’m using Apple Books on my iPad and it there.

    The first 3 chapters of Cytonic are available as free sample on Apple Books, from reading those I’m pretty sure that nowhere is a place out of time.

    I’m not from Texas but I approve this message.

    I think that the delivers are actually extremely old and powerful cytonics who either transcended or were forced into the nowhere by the superiority. There where no Delver eyes in Defending Eylisum, so I think it safe to assume that there were no Delvers during that time.

    I think that by Wax pushing on the cartridge the backward pacing vector of force was redirected forward, propelling the bullet. I agree that it will be weaker than using a gun but depending on the cartridge some force will leak forward, and the range was short iirc si it didn’t break suspension for me. The spent cartridge will be interestingly deformed.
  21. Blackwarder
    Hmmm, you are right. I wonder when did he change that.
  22. Blackwarder
    Considering that Wax and Wayne happens before WoK I think he was talking about SoScards.

    That’s a great catch! I remembered something about pure voice while reading RoW and figured that it’s one of the pure notes of Roshar but I never connected it to cultivation until this. I’ve had a theory for a long time now that both Shalan and Kaladin are the products of cultivation breeding program as part of her master plan.
  24. Blackwarder
    I had it the other way around but this theory makes total sense.
  25. Blackwarder
    Well we know that Venli managed to combine the two.
