I disagree, Alethkar is an occupied state and i don't see the alethi highprinces staying in Urithiru. They will take their armies to recover their lands. Someone will have to lead and rule the highprinces and that is the queen's role. If Jasnah was to stay in Urithiru researching the heralds and hunting the ghostbloods, i don't see the point of her becoming queen of Alethkar.

I think Venli is in group 2 for two main reasons. 1 - acording to the newest update all of group 2 is finished and Brandon is considering which character fits the flashbacks better before writing then. Perhaps he wrote all Venli POVs to decide which flashback character fits better with the current day storyline. 2 - Brandon said, in another update, that RoW structure would be more similar to WoK than WoR or OB. He also said that in WoK Kaladin storyline was one group and Dalinar storyline was a diferent group. So same location may not mean the same group. Group 1 - Kaladin, Shallan, Jasnah, Adolin and another character, perhaps a new POV. I personaly would like to know more about the other Highprinces. Group 2 - Venli and Leshwi or a new Fused. Group 3 - Dalinar and Navani.

I still think Kaladin x Shallan will be a thing, just don't know when I believe Tarah is going to appear next book, she still have a role to play.

For me a great example of a chekhov's gun is Hoid's flute. It's been referenced many times that ignoring it would violate chekhov's gun. Foreshadowing is something way more subtle that most of the readers only pickup on a reread.

Was Syl the only honorspren alive after the Recriance? If so, the new ones were created before or after Honor death?

I agree, don't believe either Kaladin or Shallan will die before saying their fifth oath/truth.
