Frustration

I don't WANT him back I honestly don't care, I just wouldn't be surprised if he did come back.

I could be wrong but doesn't Kharbaranth have an Oathgate.

I know logically he is dead, I just don't feel it. I would not be surprised in any measure if he came back.

Hoid would tell Dalinar he could

I had almost no feeling in that chapter. And I don't buy Elhokars death, I don't care the shardblade, the spren, or the unmade saying he's dead, it doesn't feel real. Also the best chapter by a long ways is Kaladin fighting Amaram at the end of the book.

Windrunners follow protection, while Skybreakers follow justice. Think of them like the deffence and prosecution in a court. Two sides of the same coin.

good point.

The dagger is a weak Nightblood, if you read it again, the blade leaves a blackened wound.

Probably would need plate to breath to, steering wouldn't be too diffrent from lashings you would just need to adjust them. And you don't have to worry about such annoying things, like terminal velocity.

So Adhesion is the surge of pressure and vacuum. So make a vacuum in front of you and put pressure behind and boom, flight achieved.

My personal theory is a shard built Elantris, and the Reod earthquake was caused by the splintering of the shards, we know Questioner So I wanted to know if the asteroid belts around some planets are because of Splintering of a Shard there? Brandon Sanderson Okay, one more time. If the what? Questioner Asteroids belts around some planets. Brandon Sanderson Are caused by the Splintering of Shards? So the Splintering of Shards has had cosmological effects; you should not assume that most asteroid belts are caused by the Splintering of a Shard. Questioner Yeah, you know most of the planets, I think all of the planets where the Shards were Splintered have asteroid belts. So is it like the physical manifestation of the Splintering? Brandon Sanderson You should not assume that all planets that have that are the result of a Splintering of a Shard but the Splintering of a Shard can have such an effect. Prague Signing (Oct. 26, 2019) that splintering shards can cause physical effects like that.

Killer of Worlds, Knight of the Way, Keeper of Wisdom, Something along these lines probably the last two. Keeper of wisdom is my favorite, it references Szeth knowing about the Voidbringers beforehand.

And @RShara right on time to ruin my theory and my day. Time to re-work that into this, doesn't destroy everything but that is a set back. (If frustration was a shard I would have ascended right there) no hard feelings but man I thought I had it. Edit Alright taking this WoB into account we run into some problems, but there are possible work arounds perhaps we had Cultivation take the power or spiritweb of the Shardaic child and tied it to Kaladin, or possibly this WoB could be unreliable, what was Brandon supposed to say if he said anything other than yes, that would immediately draw suspicion. Or I could be wrong altogether and the Kaladin thread of this theory would have to be cut.

Thank you for that I would have missed it but it is something I do in my writing(recreational of course nothing published, that's the dream) Edit: to future readers here is the WoB

thank you

So far I know Hoid has the Metalurgic powers(I'm shaky on things here) A Lerasium bead The weapon that killed Adonalsium a number of breaths Lightweaving. am I missing something?

that takes 50 of them to sacrifice themselves to one who then gains that power, they then have to know what the Elantrians are planning, how it works and stop it before they are obliterated by a single Aon Daa powerful enough to splinter shards.

you have failed me @Turin Turambar Gurthang is your blades name Anduril is for another. Personally mine would be(assuming I just get a Shardblade with no identity) Dolorem Latin for sorrow. Sorrow for myself and for the ones it must be used on.

So I was re-reading Oathbringer when things started to come together I'll put this into chronological order. **note all spoiler tags are used on WoB to shorten the length** First Skybreakers and Nale Nale seems to have an uncanny ability to find Radiants, even going so far as to turn, to Lift before she starts using Lifelight, without reguard to distance as other investiture detection we've seen. Nale knew about Lift, Gavilar, Tien, Shallan, The Stump, and The Shoe Maker. With no explination(Baring DS) And only the ones who were needed by Cultivation(Or because of their actions) did they live. Intrestingly Nale Misses Kaladin despite being in the same place as Tien, and even Taravangian discovering his wereabouts, he likewise ignores Dalinar, despite finding a way to kill Gavilar, and misses Shallan(although her killing Testement was likely responsible). So I think Cultivation was leading that. Renarin, Gyls & Sja-anat The amount of Corrupt Radiantspren surprises me, they last seven thousand years and only now allow themselves to be corrupted, why? I believe Cultivation wants Voidish Illumination to spread to further muddy Odium's sight and protect the Radiants from Odium's manipulation. The blacking of the words also was used as a contingency to get Taravangian close to Odium as we have seen. Timing, and other unlikely chances Things are falling together at this time for a reason, Taln broke just as the radiants return in any substantial number and when the first bondsmith in millennia is around. Additionally the only working Oathgate happens to be the one the heroes have access to, yeah that was planned Cultivation planned all of this. Cultivation herself Cultivation has personally seen 3 people who came to the Nightwatcher(Dalanar, Tanavangain and Lift) which she hasn't done in centuries. All of whom where large peices of what she needed, Additionally on page 717 of RoW Venli mentions hearing a Pure Tone of Roshar, I doubt it's Odium's and Honor doesn't make sense, I believe Cultivation is growing her, so she will rescue Rlain, and give the others an ally. and on page 837 Chiri-Chiri remarks that a Rhythm told her she could no longer do easy things, Likely Cultivation Due to recent event's I can no longer ignore Kaladin's part in this despite calls against it Kaladin, he is here for this WoB I think this is in reference to these WoB Additionally these WoB stick out to me as being off. Potentially nothing but Perhapse a hint at something deeper and given this I'm inclined to think so Dangerous why? Dangerous for his charecter potentially but it could be a severing from Honor. And recently Kaladin was one of two Radiants to retain contiousness during the occupation of Urithiru, and I don't buy him being almost 4th ideal and having Adhesion, The Stormfather himself worries for Dalinar, who is far more powerful, and has Adhesion himself as he would have to overcome the Sibling, The only other person who stays contious is Lift, who was touched by Cultivation in a powerful manner. Kal was touched himself. Kaladin being the Son of Tanavast is mentioned in every book, and he's done things we haven't seen anyone else do, feeling the winds in WoR, The Stormfather considers stoping for him, despite him not being bonded to him. Additionally on page 579 of RoW Kal is allerted to The Pursuer without knowing why. On Page 622 the Sibling comments on Kaladin's closeness with his Father, Honor, Tanavast. New WoB Anything I missed would be nice, critic welcome.

I have been wondering about this for some time, were the Elantrians before Elantris the sickly half spotted ones in the story, or were they shiney blue, did the Elantrians build the city or a shard, so many questions.

In a surgeon's home, from a guy that can't stand blood.

I haven't seen that yet brb.

In a war, from a guy that can't stand blood.

What are you talking about, with the exception of Lift I can get behind you. Interludes are half the fun.

Shallan doesn't interest me at all, one I don't, overly care for character, two I have this residual hate from WoK and how she just stole Kaladins screen time. I also would like if she would act like someone who "hates conflict" and has never been in a social situation.
