I realized that after the fact. I was mistaking tension with cohesion. Also, I technically double posted so I should delete the previous one.

Knight of Winds (no "the")?

I very quickly accepted that this whole idea is wrong

Storm it! Thought I was onto something, but I see what you mean, @RShara. Thank you

Radiant spren can become anything they want, though we only ever see dead spren as swords. What about the spren that chose to become other things than weapons? Could that be where some of the ancient fabrials came from? Maybe Soulcasters are really dead Inkspren, and the fabrial used by Nale was a dead cultivationspren?

I do like the idea of the Unmade being somehow related to megaspren, because that's kind of what they are already

These are very interesting ideas. @Bigmikey357, The attached WoB below *kind of* talks about how there were more sentient spren than the 10 Orders, and theoretically some could form bonds Questioner One. Can there be Nahel Bonds with more then ten types of spren because we have ten Orders. Brandon Sanderson Meaning, are there other possible spren that could form other Orders of Knights Radiant that are not the ten? This is theoretically possible, but that is basically what you could argue is happening to Renarin. So now if you want to say... if you want to throw out the exception of spren who were one of the ten who got changed, then this is theoretically possible but right now currently wouldn't work. Tel Aviv Signing (Oct. 18, 2019) @Ixthos, I really like the megaspren representing essences and orders. Though wouldn't there only be nine, because the tenth order is them? Also, love your avi

I kind of disagree. I think that taking responsibility for yourself is integral to uniting. Uniting people is taking responsibility for others, when you think about it. And not owning your own faults often turns people against you. Its not as obvious, but to me, the connection is there and very strong

Not sure what you mean. The whole set was off

During the flight part of the vision, the Windrunner tells Dalinar that he (the other radiant) had to remove his (her) armor to be lashed

They couldn't lash *other* people's shardplates. In the Starfall vision where Dalinar takes the place of the (Stoneward?) Radiant, the Windrunner who is powering the flight is wearing Shardplate, I believe.

He might be able to partially see into the cognitive realm, which is also been a theory for singers, due to the singer blood in the horneater ancestors. That said, I don't think he would be able to recognize a shardblade as a dead spren, because I would assume he would have mentioned it at some point due to his reverence. I think his brother failed to get a shardblade because first he dueled for Shardplate, and likely no one would give him access to a blade. If he was able to borrow the King's blade, it likely has to do with not having any training with a Shardblade.

Windrunners can lash themselves in their own shardplate, so I'm sure that edgedancers can slick their feet while in their own shardplate

Thanks for the clarification, everyone!

It took me a really long to realize that Venli and Eshonai, having both spent time in mate form, likely have kids (unless I am misremembering something), yet no mention is made of them. Anyone have any thoughts?

I don't believe he looked old because he outwardly changed his appearance. I think that had to do more with how he didn't care for himself (being blitzed constantly, always covered in grime and nastiness) and that gave him a more aged appearance. Books use that as a device a lot, someone living on the street and dirty looks far older than they are really, and being drunk all the time would start to give one a more wizened and sunken look.

Fair point

I feel like this ignores the attribute of "Resolute". I know that the divine attributes are not always perfect and don't always line up, but I feel like that should be more in there somewhere

If some guy who you've know for maybe a month started slandering someone you've known for years, you'd want to get the facts straight before really taking sides. Which Dalinar did. And that doesn't even account for the very complex politics involved. Right may be right, but the right course isn't always simple and sometimes needs to be fleshed out

I kinda like this theory and kinda don't. ITs a very interesting one, but I also like the idea that Unity is something new and nor originally shardic (in that it was not already part of a shard). But it does have cool implications and ideas.

Welcome! Glad to have you aboard!

Let's say 10-15 years. 2-3 for the humans to decide to get extra space, and 4-5 for Fused to happen, and the rest for the Oathpact to form and the Fused to be defeated
