Invocation

I agree with this.

What makes you say that? I wasn't even considering politics until you brought it up. Oh right I get it now I'm just stupid. Mine would probably be finally finishing a novel.

Yeah, I use all sorts of sci-fi/fantasy stuff to curse around my parents and small children. I called someone a nerfherder the other day and told them to storm off. I got some strange looks.

That's fair. I did not know it was going to be redone. I'll check the redone portion and adjust accordingly, when that is updated!

Navani was a candidate for a while on here when discussing about future Bondsmiths, with some people arguing that her fabrial building and facilitating discover would lead to her bonding with the Sibling or the Nightwatcher. Others have suggested that she might become some form of Radiant (I think I heard Willshaper at one point). I don't think Yanagawn is in a position to become a Radiant. He doesn't seem like he'd fit readily into any of the categories yet. Maybe something will happen to distinguish him to the spren at some point later, but I think that section was really just a way to give more details on Lift from another perspective.

No, that's an Autonomy version of avatar that's been given a dislike of Hoid. The Heralds aren't avatars in the same way, just people being reborn.

Alright here's another character from me (at some point I'm going to stop creating characters, but today is not that day).

What TwiLyght said. He "flipped sides" as you call it by betraying the man who gave him status among the Alethi and gave more of an ear to him and his plots than was honestly warranted, then subsequently (OB) Before the events of the end sections of Oathbringer, he was a misguided but somewhat lovable antihero and I honestly kind of liked him, but he's too far gone now and I would like nothing more than for Kaladin to put him down like he has earned.

Could make it a little bit of influence from the ancestry, like you're already thinking, and also a little bit from location of birth or zodiac sign or something.

It'd be really easy for them to think that it was the Sibling doing it when it was just something that happened because of Urithiru's shape and they had just been chalking it up to the Sibling because of the rest of the effects.

I have no idea what the stack effect, but it seems just like the kind of thing Brandon would do.

I doubt it was ever separate for long enough to do that. That would be a really long time, and considering how much we know of Rayse's activities, there doesn't seem to be a time where he wasn't hunting Shards or causing Desolations that would be enough time for anything approaching that to happen.

Yeah, between Karger and Quantus, they got it. The King's Wit is there to insult people that the king can't and to provide an assassination target other than the king himself.

In addition what the others have put out, remember that what we're reading amounts to a rough translation from Rosharan language. It's probably just a word for lacking that would have been used in that context but drought fits best for our language, so that's what Sandman used.

...That's not a half-bad theory, actually. Be kind of interesting as a plot device. I stand by what I said about some portion of the Sibling being somewhere in the "veins" so to speak of Urithiru, but not the pillar of gemstones. I don't think two spren (especially spren of that power level) could share the pillar like that, and we know Re-Shepir's influence was spread through the majority of the tower that we've seen, from her mimicry and Shallan feeling the wrongness that was Re-Shepir. It is possible that a sliver of the Sibling is holed up in a different portion of the tower's gem network and is making the pressure, or it could just be something else for shenanigan reasons.

As Shard of Thought notes, Dilaf is mega-dead, unless the Dakhor have an absolutely absurd amount of lifespan increasing. I agree with Thought also on the fact that Kell would probably end up just decking him.

GOOD!

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Still, there's no discounting the possibility that the Sibling can split itself and in some way, shape, or form represents the bonds between the Radiant Orders, with part of itself being Cusicesh, part in the Purelake, and a very small sliver of itself in hiding in the gem-pipes.

Maybe in the gem system somewhere, but probably not the pillar itself, given that Re-shepir could inhabit it.

Here's a thought: the Sibling can inhabit things and is currently residing the Purelake, having vacated the pillar of gemstones.

I kind of wanted Dilaf to be a worldhopper to see him meet Kell.

"If you say so." Malu fills the glass all the way up. "Most people either can't handle it or just don't want it, so I don't bother pouring much unless specifically asked for."

"A good choice." Malu pulls a bottle of vodka out and pours a small amount into a glass.

"I have some Scadrian, Rosharan, two bottles of Selish, a little bit from a couple of Earths, just about anything else I could get my hands on, too."

"What kind do you want? There's a lot back here." "Absolutely." Another glass of port is poured and set down.
