  1. I hope he doesn't partner with someone any more than he has for official canon material. It would lose some of the flair that Sanderson has when he has free reign like that, as well as potentially messing up things Sanderson has planned. For non-canon things, it would be interesting, kind of like the Mistborn RPG that Sanderson said he regards as happening essentially in an alternate timeline. I'm just fine with that, but I still wouldn't want too much of that because I wouldn't have the money to get the official Sanderson stuff.
  2. Finally, we get some closure on Hoid having consumed the Lerasium or not. Feels good, and now I need to go theorize.
  3. Mostly the proto part is because of the inefficient Stormlight usage, but he did say he trained with all of the Honorblades.
  4. My money is on Gavilar having found BAM and that's what was in the sphere he showed to the Parshendi that set that whole deal in motion.
  5. Everyone say it with me now: 

    RENARIN DESERVES MORE SCREEN TIME

      Technically it would be possible for Renarin to bond one of the Bondsmith spren if one of them was fine with that (The Sibling might be). What I'm more thinking is that Renarin ends up a shadow-Bondsmith. Via Glys being "Enlightened" by Sja-anat as a splinter of Odium, Renarin could end up, since he bonded an extremely Odium-Connected spren (that's a big enough event to mar the Connnection Glys has, I think), he could end up pulling from Odium in the same way that Dalinar is pulling from Honor and Rlain will more than likely end up pulling from Cultivation, making him the closest thing to Odium's Bondsmith that there will be.

      Holy gosh that is a good theory but too much of it relies on what ifs that haven't even occurred yet. Book 4 hopefully will bring some more to it. TBH I think NAvani will bond with the sibling because I have a feeling the sibling is just a big fabrial

      I kind of hope so. Navani is interesting, and there is some interaction there with how Urithuru is set up.

  6. Probably have to be a different thread (necro rules and all that, considering 4 won't be out until 2020) but yeah, a thread studying Renarin through the books would be cool.
  7. Exactly! They build on each other in intricate ways and I love it!
  8. We don't know if that's just Glys or if it's a characteristic of that form of spren. Likely that it's just Glys that's like that, since he probably knows what will happen if Renarin dies and was a bit offput that he was just gonna let it happen. Also possible is that he's like that for the same reason that he bonded Renarin: they're a lot alike. Nervous in many areas, inexperienced in what they want to be, and treated as outsiders for something they can't change. Glys just doesn't want to die, and I wouldn't count that as an example of his mannerisms the majority of the time.
  9. For now, yes, Glys looks to have just been altered in color, but we don't know the depth. We haven't talking to Glys at all, seen his interactions with Renarin, and definitely haven't seen a Radiant/Truthwatcher-spren conversation other than Ym talking to his spren with no response. The corruption might run deeper but we won't know until we get more. That being said, it probably won't be all bad, honestly. The way Sja-anat refers to it as "Enlightening" makes me think all they're doing is coopting the spren's native Investiture and making is Odium's. That might even be the extent of it.
  10. True enough. More datapoints to note the oddities. For all we know, Sja-anat's corruption might have made Glys an older form of Truthwatcher or something interesting.
  11. As far as we are aware, each blade grants both Surges, since they were the first version of the Radiant abilities. The Stormfather even refers to the Honorblade of Jezeriah as granting "abilities" plural, so presumably it's both, at a reduced-efficiency Stormlight consumption rate.
  12. Szeth was a proto-Truthwatcher for a little bit, with the Honorblades, which is how he gained his knowledge in the first place. Szeth was someone special in his homeland pre-Truthless debacle, which honestly makes me excited in the short term for his book, but yeah, we do need another full Truthwatcher. Luckily, The Stump is on her way up to Urithuru to provide that healthy counterpoint.
  13. True, especially with Szeth's knowledge of all the surges probably bringing any oddities with how Renarin's behave to the forefront.
  14. Yeah, 7 is so far away when you consider the fact that Stones Unhallowed/Stormlight 4 might end up split in half due to sheer size.
  15. Yeah. His POV book is going to be amazing. Imagine the answers we'll get, being inside his head. Inevitably with a steaming helping of new questions, but who cares about that when we get to see more Renarin! Theories around an unknown element like him are always fun to make (and read, of course). Sanderson knows it. He did this on purpose.
  16. We haven't seen them in the Cognitive yet, but Jasnah has talked to them, so they can at the very least speak somehow. Not a clue either way based on that, though, since Pattern can talk without an actual mouth. It is also possible that the foresight is just Renarin's resonance, the way Kaladin's is having a ton of squires. Renarin is one of the more interesting characters, to be sure, in addition to him being majorly important, to the point that Brando Sando has admitted that he is the important Kholin brother and that he hadn't fleshed out Adolin at all. Adolin was just a surprise character that he liked the perspective from, like you noted. Renarin absolutely is important (my money is on he ends up brokering something between the sides), and I'm excited to see more.
  17. Doomslug is important somehow. Doomslug being cytonic is a common thing, but them being imprisoned on Detrius as well is a new twist. It is absolutely possible that that's the case, but knowing Sanderson, we won't know until it happens. Kudos for this theory, by the way.
  18. Then you are not able to burn the metal because you aren't actually touching the metal, just the container. Maybe then.
  19. Mraize has spies everywhere at one point or another. When you have the ability to gather a collection from across the cosmere of mementos and just leave them on shelves, it wouldn't be that hard to get into everywhere. We also don't know if Amaram told his friends with the Sons of Honor and there might be a mole there. Also, it's very possible he isn't talking about Kaladin. Could be a grudge we don't know about yet. Worth noting is that Mraize didn't send Helaran. Helaran was becoming a Skybreaker and was either given the chance to kill Amaram as a test or decided to do it himself to prove his worth.
  20. Were the stained glass future things visible to other people? I thought that was just him seeing it. Also, the corruption wouldn't so much be that he couldn't use it, just that it would manifest differently and have a different way of being used than Shallan's stuff, which is slightly shown in that Shallan tried to show him how to use it and he couldn't make it work. I do agree that Renarin's autism will have some major impacts on his Illumination.
  21. No big spoilers with character names. If I were you, though, if you haven't read Warbreaker already, you should do that before Stormlight 4. I hope so. More lore is more fun, especially in the quantities that Sanderson writes.
  22. Don't worry, I'm ADD too, so I know that feeling. Glys more than likely is doing what he is supposed to on the Progression front, but considering how Sja-anat seems to like talking to Lightweavers and is in a sense doing what Shallan is, just on the other side (and, y'know, as a spren), so Illumination might be where the corruption comes through. Another popular theory is that there has always been at least one "corrupted" Truthwatcher spren each generation that bonds to someone, with the whole "forseeing the future comes from the Unmade" thing being nestled into Honor's (mostly) magic system.
  23. They're quick cameos. I'll list them in a spoiler tag right here if you want to go hunting for them (you have been warned, future reader of this thread): Expanding the world is always good, and I certainly hope we see those rogue parshmen again because of it, in addition to getting into Stonewards and the other lesser-focused orders.
