Eris

I went to the thread but got really confused. Can you please help me?

Oh!! Because of the type of person I am, I already created a character XD How would I make my character? Like where would I put it down?

How do they work? I've never done one before

Hello Sorana! My favourites are definitely Kaladin and Renarin. Kaladin because he and I are both 19 who have experienced so much grief that it has caused depression. I also share his need to protect in fact it is my fatal flaw I like Renarin because of his want to help others even though he doesn't know how. I also relate to him because I come from a family full of people on the spectrum and (it is thought I am also on it). So I relate to him a lot. I hope this makes sense!

Calderis what you say is correct that's why I thought maybe they are related to Passion spren because Truthwatchers weren't just tact but also interested in helping people with their knowledge which can come off as passionate.

That is a good point, I have a feeling a comet/ star/ light spren are most likely the same type of spren. Plus they don't "reflect".

Thanks man! I've already contributed some of my theories about Truthwatchers and Renarin/ Aodlin.

Hi my name is Eris and I’m just going to introduce myself. I’ve read the first mistborn trilogy and nearly finished the stormlight archives. I have also read the first reckoners book. Pleased to be part of this community.

Hey this is my first forum post and I have so many questions regarding Renarin and the order of Truthwatchers. So I was looking through the Coppermind, seeing if I could figure out what Glys would have looked like before being corrupted then correlating it with other confirmed Truthwatcher spren which both apparently look like spots of light. However, this can't be the case because it has been confirmed that Venli's spren, Timbre, looks like a spot of light which has been confirmed to actually be a Willshaper spren, a Light spren. So if it isn't a Light spren, then what is it? Well I have two theories. One is simply that a Truthwatcher spren is a Star spren. It fits the mirror reflection theory in all but I don't fully believe that. So my second theory is that a Truthwatcher spren is related to Passion spren? Hear my out. According the Coppermind, Passion spren look "like tiny flakes of crystalline snow, floated down in the air around them.” — The Way of Kings: Chapter Sixty-One[102] while Glys is described as taking "the form of a bright red crystalline structure, resembling a snowflake, which shimmers and drips light upwards." Pretty similar? Further, the Stump's spren looks like. "light reflected on a wall from a mirror." Each of these descriptions talk about light/ refraction of light but what I found interesting with Glys and Passion spren is that they are almost exactly the same but paralleled/ opposites. They both look like crystalline structures, like snow flakes but Glys is red to signify his corruption. Another note to make is Passion spren or their light go down while Glys' goes up, like a mirroring effect of possible corruption. I'm not necessarily saying Passion spren are Truthwatcher spren but it does fit. Even though Passion spren have only been seen in the romantic setting, I feel like a higher sort of Passion spren would be attracted to people who show passion towards finding the truth, searching for the truth, to learn and to help others through passion in learning. (It has also been proven that Wind spren are attracted to Kaladin but Windrunner spren are Honour spren, same with Lift as in Life spren and Cultivation spren) I'd like to know what people think because I'm really curious to know more about Truthwatchers and Renarin.

The predictions about Renarin and Adolin finding out the truth of their mother's death is something I have been thinking a lot about. I'm going to build upon your prediction and say, Renarin most likely knew or figured out what happened but decided to keep it hidden, tact. This is because Renarin is an intelligent person and probably realised his father's strange behaviour and found the truth. So theoretically this could have been one of the many possible reasons why Glys bonded with Renarin and why he is a truthwatcher. Further, if it is cannon that to become a knight radiant, you need to be broken then what better way than have Adolin find out his father was not the honourable man he thought he was. His father was a monster that killed out of bloodlust and murder his mother, hating Adolin in the process because of his resemblance to Evi. This I think would do it but I don't know how this would tie into an Edgedancer oath except for Adolin remembering all the murders his father had done and properly remembering how his mother actually died because technically no one alive except Dalinar knows that he killed Evi. I think this would be an important element in both building up Renarin's character but also Adolin. I couldn't tag the original poster Ookla the Rusty
