Windrunner88

I have a feeling Dalinar ends up becoming Trell. EL could be short for Zellion, so I'd lean more in favor of that being his true identity

Taln - Jason Momoa Ash - Beyoncé knowles Kaladin - Taylor Kitsch Tom hiddleston as Hoid is perfect. I also really like the idea of Manu Bennett as Dalinar.

Whenever i think about Dalinar's confrontation with Odium and his swearing of the third ideal, i can't help but think about Bastille's song Glory.

Also, during my re- read of Oathbringer i came across this: “I’m no highspren,” the captain spat. “I can see that the variety of humankind is what gives you strength. Your ability to change your minds, to go against what you once thought, can be a great advantage. But your bond is dangerous, without Honor. There will not be enough checks upon your power—you risk disaster.” - Chapter 108 Honor's path Could this mean that new Radiants, specifically those bonded to spren closer to Honor, will be able to manipulate the surges to a greater degree than their predecessors before the recreance?

All this speculation begs the question.. With Honor being splintered, how will Taln and the rest of the Heralds access stormlight? Nale is still bonded to his Highspren (though you would think that after adandoning the oathpact that would have severed the bond) so i understand that. However, i haven't seen any other instance of the other Heralds accessing surges on screen.

@I think I am here. Great examples! I honestly can't wait for the back 5 books to see the Heralds backstory fleshed out and see them in action! Evaporating an ENTIRE mountain in an instant?!? WICKED!!

If i had one more question to ask Brandon it would've been in regards to Jezrien. He fascinates me, i really hope we get to see him in action at some point (whether it be via flashback or in the present). The thought of him doing something like this during a climactic battle gives me chills

That's a good point. I wonder while Nale choose to enlist in the skybreakers after being so reluctant to accept patronage of them in the first place.

Greetings everyone! I attended Book Con at NYC this past weekend! I've been wondering how the Heralds differed from the radiants of their order prior to their abandoning of the oathpact in terms of strength and abilities. So i asked Brandon this: Windrunner88- So far during the stormlight archive we've seen that the spren bond appears to have some distinct advantages (i.e. armor, more efficient stormlight consumption, access to a variety of weapons) over what Tanavast via the oathpact provided the Heralds. With the exception of Nale, and the fact that the Heralds had no need for stormlight, can you please tell me one way in which a Herald had a distinct advantage over a level 5 radiant of their corresponding order? Brandon Sanderson- Rebirth; (and after seeing what must have been a crestfallen look on my face added) The heralds had access to raw levels of power that no radiant could ever achieve. I'm still trying to rap my head around what that would look like in terms of magical abilities.. I would love to hear your guys opinions on this!

Hello everyone! So i'm new to the community and a HUGE cosmere fan, i spend at the very least 45 min a day searching forums and sites for anything cosmere related (i know, i know, i might be a tad bit obsessed). I've been wanting to connect with some like minded people, so here goes nothing... So this past weekend i got wind that Brandon was going to be in town (NYC) and could not pass up the opportunity to meet him in person. I've never done anything like this before so i assumed that i could just show up and buy tickets. I ended up arriving a little later than i intended (3p.m.) and figured i could just catch him at the signing which was scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. What i was NOT aware of was that you had to purchase SEPARATE tickets to go to the signing, and (of course) they were sold out! I decided to buy a pass into book con anyway on the off chance that by some miracle i would bump into him somewhere in the building. And sure enough (like one of the Heralds themselves!) I saw him standing at the entrance to the auditorium that held the conference that just finished surrounded by a flock of fans waiting to ask him questions. Out of all the authors present that afternoon he was the only one who stayed behind to interact with his fans, which confirmed just how AWESOME he is! Anyway, i got to take a picture with him and ask him a few questions. Which brings me to the topic I've been looking to talk about.
