Maybe Gavilar thought that *Unit Them* was meant for the Heralds, thus going to Braize as a rescue mission to retrieve Taln. If Taln was rescued, before he broke, then maybe they would have had time to prepare... (Gavilar's potential reasoning) Maybe Gavilar saw how the Heralds were in mental distress, present on Roshar but lacking purpose in their duty to prepare for the next desolation. Quick fix? Bring back Taln to try ending their guilt, and get them motivated? This could make sense in my mind, as in, Why would the Heralds discuss, with Gavilar, about going back to Braize, otherwise? Also, about the trapped *voidish?* spren, this could be another argument on Gavilar's part: "See guys, nothing to be afraid of, we can trap Odium's spren, if they were to chase us there.". Sorry if this idea was already brought up, I didn't have time to read through the entire post. Edit: also maybe taking Odium's Perpendicularity, warping it to do their biding, using the trapped spren somehow, or other means?

Thanks for your answers! I'm not on point with my cosmere timeline, which novel contains Hoid's appearance and is set after Oathbringer? I suppose Bands of mourning, any other one perhaps?

Hi, I'm new here. I've been reading alot on these forums and I'll make my first topic here. Please excuse me if I don't use this correctly. Also, english is not my first language, so please ignore my "french-isms". I have read through stormlight and am starting a re-read in french to make sure I don't miss anything. Spoilers for Oathbringer and Cosmere stuff outside Roshar. A thought came to my mind... If I'm not mistaken, it was posted on the wobs that leaving Roshar whilst having a strong nahel bond may be difficult. Correct me if I'm wrong. But if that's the case, considering how Hoid is bound by some ~magical~ restriction to be unable to hurt other living beings, did he manage to restrict himself from leaving Roshar by bonding the spren? Or does his restriction only apply to physical entities, and not spren (thinking about Kelsier...)? He might find a trick to leave but still, it makes me wonder if the trickster cornered himself unknowingly... since severing his bond might hurt and or kill the spren. What do you guys think?
