Frustration

Why is Roshar's star not red then?

I don't know how much that would count if Hoid sees them as cognitive shadows he could harm them, or if he sees carapace as closer to fingernails he could probably break them

Exactly what being are you making chains out of?

Well yeah but I'm trying to find an easier way to kill him.

And a benevolent dictator? When there is nothing left and Dalinar becomes the linchpin holding everyone together? Potentially and I do think he will get better but I can't say what literacy will make of him, he could develop an unhealthy paranoia thinking that he needs to see everything.

What purpose does she serve?

I wasn't saying that it's impossible for her to develop but as of now if Kal can find some anti-depressents and a girlfriend then what does Syl want?

Well "technically" the Cosmere doesn't exist but it's real to us so that's all that matters.

might I refer you to me:

He's got a point.

My personal theory is that Roshar is closer to the cognitive realm than other planets and that's why we see so many cognitive things there. Thinking like this I extrapolate that the rhythms are like brainwaves? or maybe the music that dictates how the realms interact? so many questions.

Hoid is the only person insane enough for that to work and he is already immortal.

Hoid(because the man is his own order): created the virus to see what would happen and is now cackling madly videoing all the idiots buying toilet paper.

I would see him as a figure of ultimate authority and not one to share power especially after finding out all that literacy contains I think he will become more controlling not less, not that he won't have staff but I can't see independent Kal become a part of a group that has Dalinar making all the decisions. Yes but what people here specifically @Nameless forget is in order to protect there needs to be an aggressor, not multiple guilty parties, nor equally innocent ones there is a reason Kal freezes in the battle at Kholinar. Unless the Rosharans post Odium turn to infighting(which I find unlikely as the population will be so decimated that it would be impossible) then the problems will be the duties of Skybreakers perhaps other Radiants might be able to just prepare or run supplies but Kal needs people, needs to know them. So I think that the only thing Kal turns to in this situation is surgery. Never said it would end tragically but I do think that Syl's death will be on the road trip. fair enough Odium has almost killed the Stormfather what? three times now. and Kal killed a void spren in Oathbringer. Yeah spren death without Oath breaking is nothing new. as Brandon says let's read and find out. Do you honestly see headstrong, independent Kal flying releif supplies for the rest of his life? Or training new Windrunners, maybe for a season but full time? what fighting do you think he will be doing? Surgery is the only thing I agree with here and then what? Syl is probably the only spren so far that has not expressed personal desires of any sort. She wants Kal to be happy but what about if he does recover? What does she want then? I don't know and perhaps that's why I see her death she has no further use to the narrative.

Please elaborate.

Because Dalinar is better and a bit of a control freak he will naturally take command in any cross nation situations the only time Kaladin leads is in his own land, which I expect will be taken care of relatively quickly.

We already had that discussion Kaladin isn't exactly what I would call a diplomat.

Whatever Hoid snorts before interacting with anyone because that has to be powerful

Lighteye supremacy should hit a wall when it comes out that some Heralds are darkeyed. As for the contest too many cooks in the kitchen, can you honestly see Kaladin opperating completely under Dalinar? Not just obeying him but having to default to him on everything? Because I can't.

Might I suggest Quellion as I have no idea who that is. Edit I just remembered and he's not cool anyway

One the Honorspren is not Ico and he was talking about a forced seperation. Second Jasnah has no way to know Radiants can leave trying and failing she might accept that as what "is" and move on. Third just because Kaladin wants to do something doesn't mean he will be able to. He could do some good in areas he has power over the land beneath deathbed river for example, but everywhere else he is powerless, others like Dalinar can apply political pressure to get change moving. What would Kaladin do? Incite riots? Kaladin works in very forceful ways and other people will drag their heels at that. Dalinar has shown his ability to convince people who don't want to work together to do so. Can Kal get even half of that?

Retiring doesn't kill Spren I'll put the WoB here later I'm on my phone but there are ways to retire. And being a surgeon is what I agree with you on the question is why would Syl stick around at that point Kal is living a standard life, O would think that that's the point where he says thanks Syl I'm better now, and she goes to help someone else while he heals people through more ordinary means. Why would Jasnah look into that? Being stuck the planet would seem like a minor restriction to them so I don't see why they would bother? No duh there will be problems, I just don't think Kal is the person for that he basically forgets about Rlain halfway through Oathbringer. Speaking of which Rlain would be perfect for the task you describe.

Mistborns Era 2 is at least after Stormlight 5 so yes Hoid gets off Roshar. Radiants are bound to Roshar much like SH So I don't think we will see Radiants going anywhere for a long time. If Dalinar does his job well(which he will) Kal's out of luck what do you see him doing on this senario, I can't picture him just training new Windrunners and going on supply runs he needs something more.

Yes it would Hoid is the only Radiant we know of to escape Roshar. Not what I meant and you know it. Do you honestly see Dalinar letting someone else do the job he sees as divinely mandated to him? Dalinar wouldn't even let others come with him to Azir, he insisted on coming alone perhapse this changes but from what I've seen Dalinar isn't one to delegate.

Full support yes!!! Lightsong V.P.
