    No its fine. Do you want to read the sample chapter about him from book 5 Brandon put out?
  2. Frustration
    Which was exactly what he wanted. Given the fact that they came to Kholinar that wasn't the case. And no one beaides Shallan had bonded a spren at that point. Unless you want to count Jasnah, who bonded Ivory the day he died. Secrecy.
  3. Frustration
    Is there? Or is that what Gavilar assumes? Any time the Stormfather talks about it he hesitates first. We already know that. We know that as well. His thoughts don't count. Stupid only if you know how much they fear them. In any other instance it gains you a willing audience. It seems obvious that they would treat the fused the same way the humans treat the heralds. Even if they had forgotten the fused entirely you can bribe them with power. The only way that it works put poorly for him is if they fear them, but he had no reason to assume that they would. And? Dalinar's first radiant was Amaram. On his own no. But after careful study under master artifabrians, and with knowledge from heralds, yes I think he could. Not really, everything we have seen up to this point shows him in control, and knowledgeable up to and until Szeth shows up.

    You CANNOT make perpendicularities only between two realms, by definition they have to pierce all three. Even when he could preform lashings himself Kaladin sprent hours practicing before he flew. No, it says if you asked Szeth, or the current honorblade holders they woud say it took ten heartbeats. It is quite heavily implied that for heralds it is different.
  5. Frustration
    1. It's heavily implied that they can 2. As stated by multiple people, yes he can, and he did. And nowhere has Brandon said that he couldn't. 3. He had it used on him with Kaladin, but Kaladin did not teach him how to use lashings.
  6. Frustration
    Like what?
  7. Frustration
    Ignoring the SA 5 prologue it seemed more of a genuine sense that they would want the power again. Abd without the contextual understanding he could only have gotten from living among them that seems a reasonable assumption. When Dalinar saves him from assassination during a highstorm he asks why they are conquering Alethkar, and goes on about how the kingdom used to mean something. He then tells Dalinar to listen to a book we can assume to be The Way of Kings. He care very deeply about the kingdom. But he was trying to, meaning he knew that they could be bound. Source? Ignoring SA 5 prologue as well? I see a man willing to look Kelsier on the eye and say "you are too late". I see a man who knows spren can be bound, who has regular meetings with Heralds, who knows the desolations are coming and needs to prepare. In short I see what Dalinar could have been if he were only smarter and more capable.

    Heralds could do it faster. Ishar did that. Actually the only mention we get of that is that at some point Kaladin showed Moash them. All on screen learning is Kaladin alone or with Lopen rock and Sigzil. Wasn't talking to you.
  9. Frustration
    A misunderstanding of a culture he barely understood, and had a small but still significant language barrier. Is not that unusual. I'm rereading OB at the moment and he spent years learning about the codes, and living with dignity. True he was harsh with Navani but as I said earlier he wasn't perfect. Kalak started the sons of honor. And WoB's say Gavilar was part of multiple secret societies. Aesudan said he was close to discovering how to bond Yelig-nar. And in Rhythm of War we find out he made anti-voidlight. He was shown as both competent and knowledgeable.
  10. Frustration
    It is theoretically possible as Oathgates we're based off of the surge of Transportation.
  11. Frustration
    I've been waiting for years to see Gavilar's PoV. Ever since book 1 he's been presented as this calculated genius, only a few steps from radiance, with all the tools he needed to fight desolations, who was only stopped by seemingly random chance. Instead we have this pathetic excuse of a character who doesn't even know half of what we did by book 2. It's rather annoying that he knew just enough that what we saw seemed like a competent individual, and I can't help but feel cheated out of an excellent master planner. Additionally Gavilar in the flashbacks always seemed so considerate, he wasn't an angel or anything but he seemed a reasonable fellow, not that different from Dalinar. A youth of violence followed by a later life of near radiance. Instead we find out Gavilar is a conniving black-hearted individual only in it for himself. And all of his ideals we're nothing more than virtue signaling. It feels like a character assassination. Needless to say I hope there are some major rewrites before publication.

    Moash can't even summon the blade in under ten heartbeats. His word is not to be taken as law. Name one thing Dalinar can do Ishar can't, other than the visions which were a direct gift from Honor and not a Bondsmith power. Kaladin saw Szeth use lashings but it still took him hours to learn how to use them effectively. The Cataclysm of Ashyn required Dawnshards.
  13. Frustration
    Arcanum Unbounded.
  14. Frustration
    That's why I said more than we know. We won't understand the Heralds and the Oathpact entirely until the back five books.
  15. Frustration
    There is, or rather was. It was locked on his request, as he wanted people to ask their own questions.
  16. Frustration
    Only thing is that Honorblades do more than that, more that we don't know yet. The Stormfather described it as being close to Heraldic.
  17. Frustration
    Yes, Odium said that so long as the spren's housing isn't damaged the Oathgate can be destroyed and rebuilt, in OB.
  18. Frustration
    Oathgates can be moved, and Oathgate spren appear to just be modified ink/light spren. Additionally, the stormlight cost can be considered negligible, as even after the weeping they had enough stormlight to operate one.
  19. Frustration
    Well in that case it is definitely possible.
  20. Frustration
    Let's try this again. @Knight of Iron @Condensation @doomstick Nope still only two.
  21. Frustration
    I'd skip radio entirely and go straight to a telephone. If you really wanted a radio I think some form of modified rhythms would be better.
  22. Frustration
    Forget the last one this is the WoB
  23. Frustration
    I've got you. My(incomplete) list if you need more, or what different ones I have them.
  24. Frustration
    Why do that when Oathgates are actually FTL rather than just mimicking it?
  25. Frustration
    Your wish is granted my champion. @Channelknight Fadran @Tesh HUh. Mine's being weird too.
