What Order of Knight Radiant is your Favorite?
Halyo_Alex replied to Argus the Awful's topic in Stormlight Archive
Turns out a lot of Cosmere fans like to theorize about how things in the cosmere work. -
Obligatory "Nice."
-
Now, if they knew about the effect of aluminum hemalurgy, THAT would have been stupid and work in the way you expected.
-
I mean there are only 10^80 ish particles in the observable universe. So yeah. Infinite for human purposes.
-
...Well rusts, we can't exactly go crazier than... *scrolls up* ... a lot The exact number we made before isn't on this page so I can't check mid-post.
-
Right, because Brandon has debunked Urithiru being a ship which was how the Ashynites got to Roshar to begin with. Inb4 the radiants flip the script to go back to Ashyn for something in the back 5...
-
Would be all the more of a shock to them when he seemingly shows up just fine. "You died?" "Sadly, yes... But I lived!!" which isn't even wrong...
-
Alright, fair. I think everyone's gotten a bit exhausted mincing words at this point.
-
Okay but that's not what you were arguing before. maybe I'm just tired of arguing about a child champion.
-
Dalinar knows what is at stake. He will not void the terms of the contest unless someone truly outwits him. A child champion is not going to "outwit" Dalinar in the sense of being the cause for him to void the contest. Either he is willing to die, or willing to kill the child. He has no reason to endanger literally the entire Cosmere just because Odium picks a child for his Champion.
-
If Odium wins the duel, he still has to stay locked on Braize. If he loses, he has to stay locked on Braize. The only outcome that hasn't been specified in the terms of the contest is a draw. How is a child champion supposed to draw against Dalinar? Either Dalinar refuses to fight and Odium stays locked on Braize but with his forces remaining on Roshar, or Dalinar regretfully kills the child champion and Odium and his forces are locked away on Braize completely.
-
yeah, by not having a storming child for odium's champion.
-
He does say "mostly", and I mean... *Gestures to Division* It's directly between Honor's Truest Surge and "cultivation's truest surge".

Your opinions on the Child Champion theory
Halyo_Alex replied to Frustration's topic in Stormlight Archive
This is exactly the problem. Odium needs a third option not covered in the contract. Probably a draw wherein both champions die in the same moment. I can't exactly see a child surprise-shardblading Dalinar through the spine/etc while they're dying. -
Personal headcanon is that it's because Lift uses Lifelight and progression is the surge most suited to Cultivation's Intent, much like how Adhesion is best suited to Honor's intent. So if there's a Surge best suited to Odium's intent, powering it with Voidlight should let someone circumvent a suppression fabrial?
-
Finally, a form of combat that Rock will actually enjoy partaking in.

Brandon predicted Covid
-
cohesion also is specifically noted to fail on anything even vaguely invested, so infused Spheres are out, for example. My personal "cohesion's super useful specific ability" is to be able to cohere dun gems of the same type into each other and make a huge, perfect gemstone with care and practice.
-
Don't forget the weirdness of Progression being immune to the surge suppression fabrial. I could see this easily being the case. The bond with the radiant's physical aspect becomes complex and full enough to let the spren manifest as something more complicated than just a piece of metal, etc.
-
I'm inclined to believe that there is at least some level of "fusion" that goes on at the 5th ideal, though I have little to go on besides "the spren can no longer voluntarily remove the bond" and the general progression of the spiritwebs becoming more interlinked until what I imagine becomes such a complete connection that they become spiritually indistinguishable from one another, sharing what is in essence a singular, united spiritweb. Hmm, united...
-
...yeah
-
we're not in the RoW spoiler zone, perhaps cover that. we technically don't get the spren's name until RoW.
-
I think we know there's one he would like to slap more than others.
-
Wait, so could Hoid slap a spren then?
-
It won't come together onto a single planet; but he does intend for Era 4 (space age) to be sort of Star Trek like, with the different cultures interacting on a large scale with their magic systems.
