I don't really see the point of them killing someone like Amaram. In fact I would say that they are much more likely to keep him around. Think about the amount of chaos that he causes just by being his almighty damned self. Also why would they risk a set of shards. It is not like they have a huge amount of time to acquire them. Just getting a soulcasater seems to have been difficult. Thanks. This seemed obvious to me while reading but when I went on the shard I discovered that other people had different opinions on the matter. It is nice to know I am not just seeing things. Navani seems optimistic in her ability to repair a soulcaster as well. Really I just think that the Davar siblings did not know what they were doing when they tried to repair it. It is also a very effective setup especially when you can easily relay information through spanreeds. We don't know or even have reason to believe that Shallan's situation is super unusual for a GB member. Her first formal "mission" that she is actually ordered to undertake without already being on it is to track down Sja-anat. This is after she has proved herself. He also tells her that he will come to her latter with details(and I think this implies resources as well) but she is expected to hunt herself. The diagram is like that as well at the decision making level. Taravangian makes decisions and people follow them. He has a second in case something happens to him but at lower levels people like Graves are allowed to do their own thing. Shallan was there at the time and was his only valid opening. Once he had an in with her and once she got a wardship he began preparing. He then figured out a plan based on his likes and dislikes that could have taken as much as a month to fully prepare. Remember he had quite some time to work on this one. I recognize that she is an unreliable narrator but from Shallan I kind of doubt Helaran would have joined the same group as his father and I seriously doubt he would have joined the ghoostbloods. I also do not see how the ghoostbloods could have gotten enough blades to risk one on someone like Helaran.

We don't know that he had no tattoo he might have had one that we just did not see. I personally don't see why but the WoB above indicates that this is not true anyway. Amaram clearly does not know about the Skybreakers. Remember he is seeking the Heralds. Pattern's lie detection is limited. He might have just been seeing understatements or statements with the intent to manipulate. Sorry WoB says no. The father Lin Davar was supposedly a member. I also do not think that the Ghoostbloods would want an important member exposing themselves so prominently. It seems heavily implied that the sword Balat used broke the soulcaster during the duel. Remember it sort of clanked and did not do real damamge? I find it extremely doubtful that Wikim could have ever been powerful enough that Gavilar thought he was the one to assassinate him. Remember at the time Wikim would have been a teenager. I addressed this. Balat was unable to do real damage because the soulcaster got in the way. I actually agree. This implies at least to me that he has some intern ghoostblood status. Perhaps they are extorting or blackmailing him(soulcasters are rare) or perhaps he has not yet proven his allegiance. The pendent could imply that to other members. Bound to us but not one of us. I think the ghoostbloods did. He may admitted their father's plans to get the necessary money for bribes but not told them where the soulcaster came from. This has already happened. During his speech the Lin says he does not have to have Helaran killed because he is already dead on an Alethi battlefield. Jasnah employs assassins. I doubt she kills large numbers of people personally. Even with her particular skills she does not seem like the type to overestimate herself and as such highers professionals when she needs someone killed. That could have been Kabsul just taking initiative himself. Remember the ghoostbloods payed at least two teams of assassins to go after Jasnah. It might even be standing orders for any ghoostblood who has a shot to take it. Nale showed Szeth his abilities and gave him Nightblood. It is not like he does not do that kind of thing. And a bit over the top. When Gavilar was assassinated he would have been really young. Late teens at most. Sorry if this was a bit much but I have a bit of a compulsion to be through.

I find them quite similar but I suppose there is a difference.

Cultivation planting Mr T is a way of confounding Odium by making him act in ways that Odium would not expect and even Mr T does not really know about?

Welcome Many people do in fact agree with this theory. To the point where "Mr. T is a plant" has become sort of a meme on the 17th shard. It is nice to have you here.

How about Eshe. It is the aon for gift.

Welcome. Now on to pocking holes(sorry). I am pretty sure that is just a form of bondsmith spiritual adhesion. No surge blending that I am aware of. The same could be said of the Stonewards or the Dustbringers Also this WoB Shows clearly that we have seen shardpalte and no Willshapers did anything in any of the books we have seen.

Exactly. Because of this I do not think this will happen as it is basically impossible.

Considering he was on track to study medicine at Karbranth, his successful career leading soldiers in both Amaram and Dalinar's armies, his innovations in the use of bridges, and his high level understanding of ethics and leadership I am going to say that he is extremely intelligent.

Point taken. Thanks anyway.

First I have often wondered the same thing. Great minds. Secondly. I do not think so. The CR is still flat on Roshar despite many people knowing that the planet is round and there are no living organisms to maintain such a thing while in space.

That is what we were referring to.

Those both predate Cultivation.

I sort of have a bodyguard romance for the two of them from back when the two of them were human floating around in my head.

I think Vin's earning takes the cake. It makes perfect sense, is explained without us even knowing what is going on, is demonstrated twice, and then when it actually happens it makes perfect sense.

This is a question I also want an answer to.

We don't know how splintering actually happens normally so I don't think that this is a question we can answer. I have always thought that what normally happens is that the vessel is killed first and then the power splintered. Also Sazed came in and his understanding of both powers may have been what actually fuesed them.

Adolin clearly states multiple times that he does not want to be highprince. Also events later in the series make me think that this will not happen.

I have always thought it was the singers yes.

It is also worth noting that Kaladin at least initially distrusts anyone who desires or has political power and yet at the same time believes that someone having it is necessary. I think if he were to go to Azir he would also distrust the "darkeyes" like The Prime for that reason.

You could be super dramatic and give her a returned name like Glorysinger or you could find the aon that best describes her and use that the way the use it in Elantris.

Wyndle spends most of that and every book hiding.

We do know that the singers were created to serve aparticular purpose in the ecology of Roshar. As to the dawncities.

Taravangain has her write the essays to damage Dalinar. It is a blink and you will miss it detail. Are you referring to Tukar and Ishar?

My setup is a bit odd so that rarely works correctly for me. Ah. That is a good question.
