Hello... This marks my second time actually writing something on these forums. Please forgive any transgressions that can be blamed on lack of experience. I had a sort of theory going along these lines for some time (since i read in WOK that Kaladin's name sounds like that of a lighteyed...why would they name him like a lighteyes...?), and now reading this topic see it being more possible than before. In particular I find interesting the quote above where Hesina says "He always gets pessimistic at times like this" Times like this seems more telling to me than at first glance since 'this' time, they are heading to meet a high-ranked lighteyed for the first time... In short, I agree with the premise of this theory, that Hesina is of a lighteyed family. I then go further and propose that not only is she of a lighteyed family, but a very important lighteyed family. I had at some point thought she might be related to Navani herself, with the letter talking about fabrials and such... could still be if Kaladin never met that side of the family, and aunt Navani was never an aunt to him... but I don't know yet. I may be grasping for connections, but always found it odd that we as readers have never been told the name of Dalinar's wife. We would have had a chance to hear it from Adolin at least... if not several other viewpoints that surely did not have it erased... but we never hear it. I would not (yet) go as far as saying that Hesina is Dalinar's late wife, that would imply faked death and half brothers and complications galore... but instead that Hesina is related to Dalinar's wife, and that it is close (sister perhaps). I think that some way or another, Adolin's mother's name will be telling... Something like Resina maybe... I do not know if Hesina would have light or dark eyes, but i think she fell for Lirin, which would have been very bad, and ran away with him after some thorough drama... also, we know of the drops that change eye colour, maybe Hesina used those (or uses them regularly?) Over the years, she probably would have gotten in touch again with her family and so they are in 'writing letters' terms again to explain Hesina's comments about offering help, or she could be in touch with some members of the family only. I just like how the connection fits nicely between the two families... opens up nice things to come for cousins Adolin and Kaladin (those two names may be a clue...) Thank you.

This is exciting!

What about Luesh? His death is mentioned, but do we know why/how he died? It seems like a death that we know happened, but is very easy to dismiss as unimportant.
