I think that it is mentioned in several scenes that the spheres they find in the chasms as bridgemen are infused, even though it takes several storms for the bodies to get pushed back, and would be long enough for at least some of them to go dun.

I like the idea of Kaladins family having a special connection somehow. It seems to be a theme among surgebinders. Thank you for the description of Cultivations voice, I couldn’t remember what it was described as. One possible explanation for the discrepancy could be that when humans hear Cultivation speak, they are hearing a physical sound/voice which could be altered through their Connection to Cultivation. We have seen examples of other Shards sounding different to different individuals. It would stand to reason that a Spren, hearing a shard through connections in the spiritual realm would sound different than the more physical voice a human would hear. Hopefully at some point we will get some clarification on everything Cultivation has been up to.

I am currently rereading oathbringer. At the end of the sixth chapter Kaladin and Syl are having a discussion about how Syl can remember his family even if she had never met them, and how he knew her from before. In part of her reply she tells him that "there was... another voice. Pure, with a song like tapped crystal, distant yet demanding." Based on what we learned in Rhythm of War and the pure tones of Roshar, this could suggest that Cultivation had a subtle hand in pushing spren towards the first knights radiant. Does anyone else have an idea what this could mean?

I was just going off the basis, that when Taln died, his blade with with. Now that the Oathpact is broken it could be a very different story.

I mean the blade should have disappeared when Chana died, not appeared.

It also doesn't explain how Szeth knew the desolation was coming, and how he became truthless, although I expect we will definitely see an answer to that in Stormlight 5

I think it makes a lot more sense for this shimmering human form to be a piece of Tanavast than it does to be the Herald Ishar. It would definitely explain the future sight. I would like to see Tanavast have more of an impact on current events.

I can't recall off the top of my head, but if there was a reference to one, it would most likely be in Eshoni's prologue. I don't think there was.

I would imagine eventually they would try to publish them separately like the have done for edgedancer and dawnshard, but he did not specifically say that I heard.

So we still have possibility of something set in the third culture on sel, or something similar.

Did he specifically say that they were on world's we haven't seen or just with characters we haven't seen?

You know as I read the exchange from Dalinar and Evi, I think you could also claim that it could also be foreshadowing for the battle of champions.

I do think that it is interesting though that Ado means light, and the way that people most commonly experience the power of adonalsium on Roshar is throught light. I still that their is room for a connection there.

I think one could make the argument, that if Odium was behind the thrill, and the thrill was behind the war culture of the alethi people, then in a round about way he really would behind the naturally occuring religion. That's what Rayse has been putting in his letters to Bavadin, "sorry just a few more millennium to finish preparing my army, and I'll be on my way over."
