Doomdrinker

As I remember the bottom 3 levels are engulfed by a highstorm at one point in the book.

When T and odium meet near the end odium mentions that T wrote a letter to him so I assume that contains t asking the fused to attack urithiru and telling them he would help. Also the oathgate at Kholinar was corrupted and being directly controlled in order to kill Kal, Shallan and Adolin. So far as we know a corrupted oathgate can function completely normally.

Shallan unlocked the oathgate at Kholinar so it only needed to be activated from urithiru.

I'm not sure if you'd have read far enough but it is mentioned how they infuse spheres there. I don't know how to do spoilers but it's on page 54

I disagree with your interpretation of 10. In the defence of Thaylenah Shallan never actaully summons her blade, Ash and taln don't even have shardblades And Venli doesn't say her first oath until after the battle. Also do you mind explaining why you think the death rattles are entirely forward-looking?

I like this theory, also another thing to mention is the floating cities on ashyn. Surely they are able to float indefinitely as well and there is a WoB confirming that ashyn has somewhat similar magic system to the surges.

I meant just that I think he was alive at the time of the recreance one way or another. The theory in my head is that he was not only alive but also actually experienced the recreance first hand and this is why he wants revenge. The stormfather and syl where both alive at the time true but neither of them are pursuing vengeance for the lost spren so I think they must have had very different experiences of what happened than what spark did.

So this is only really a theory that just popped in my head after hearing this line again. “Spark is fine with what we’re doing,” Malata said, pressing her finger down and adding another swirl to the table. “I told you, the rest of them are idiots. They assume all the spren are going to be on their side. Never mind what the Radiants did to Spark’s friends, never mind that organized devotion to Honor is what killed hundreds of ashspren in the first place.” Specifically “Never mind what the Radiants did to Spark’s friends" That phrasing seems out of place, why would spark refer to ash spren that had died before they where even created as their friends? So I think spark is a spren that survived the recreance.

I think Dalinar assumes he courted her for 3 years based on his broken memories, he also assumes that he loved his wife but that was wrong. So it could simply be that Dalinar himself is wrong when he says he courted her for 3 years

I got the impression it was more meant to break dalinar in particular by making the coalition fail, then Mr T would start his own coalition as the need for one is still very real

I think this is the part they are referring to Jasnah took a deep breath. She seemed reluctant to explain. “I have taken the initial steps in arranging for you to be betrothed to one of my cousins, son of my uncle Dalinar Kholin. The boy’s name is Adolin. He is handsome and well-acquainted with amiable discourse.” “Betrothed?” Shallan said. “You’ve promised him my hand?” "I have started the process,” Jasnah said, speaking with uncharacteristic anxiety. “Though at times he lacks foresight, Adolin has a good heart— as good as that of his father, who may be the best man I have ever known. He is considered Alethkar’s most eligible son, and my mother has long wanted him wed.” “Betrothed,” Shallan repeated. “Yes. Is that distressing?” And “It doesn’t bother you at all?” Jasnah said. “The idea of being beholden to another, particularly a man?”“ "It’s not like I’m being sold into slavery,” Shallan said with a laugh. “No. I suppose not.” Jasnah shook herself, her poise returning.

Hey so a thing I've been thinking about is what was Surgebinding like before the knights radiant where formed and specifically what where the bondsmiths like before the radiantsl?
