It is possible. And if I recall correctly in Silence Divine the cities are on floating island so from the ground the sky would look broken which might be enough to make Ashyn's sky broken. Is this confirmed? I mean, it's my hypothesis too (to be exact I think the Nexus of Transition leads to Braize and from there you have a way to go to Ashyn). But do we have WoBs?

The portraits are in-universe things, they're inexact, for example Veden's skin is a bit too fair for someone who look Alethi

The smoke leaking from Nightblood is corrupted breaths Note that the reason Nightblood leaks is because he's oversaturated in investiture Also there's an important example of skin going grey you seem to have mist, when Kal managed to attract the arrow from nearly all parshendi right before swearing the second idea Here's my hypothesis: Colour is investiture and when you try to use investiture while you have none you'll use your own essence, starting by the colour of your skin The black in the wounds and the black smoke are corrupted investiture, not in the usual "using the wrong God to power your powers" which give red eyes but in another sense that Brandon didn't make clear yet. For the Shades it'd be a mix of corrupted Ambition and Mercy, for the Fused it'd be part of their soul and spirit being either ripped of their being instead of being destroy or corrupted neutral investiture. For Jezzrien, maybe his connexion to the Oathpatc/his current body?

The fiveteen minutes Vespen survived would have been largely enough indeed. And it's likely it can be done in a way the spren would actually survive

Or on spren that have surved... whatever Ishar is doing to them

The Shard In Hiding: Well, sounds like I made the right call. @AonEne if you're ever out of rp ideas...

Currently sprens are the limiting factor to the number of Radiants so it probably won't happen, but yes there's no reason a Lifeless couldn't bound a spren. Especially one with too much breaths.

So And But sadly

A few years ago, Brandon released this map of Roshar's Shadesmare Each of the expanses are planet that you can walk to in Shadesmare, the Expanse of the Vapors is confirmed to be Scadrial and the Expanse of the Density us confirmed to be Sel; the Expanse hidden before the "Shadesmar" text is known as the Expanse of Vibrance and is nearly confirmed to be Nalthis. Until RoW we didn't have any clue on what planet could be the Expanse of the Broken Sky nor why it could be called that way, Scadrial is called the Expanse of the Vapours because its Shadesmare is misty, Sel is called the Expanse of Density because it's Shadesmare is made of blazing plasma and with Nalthis' emphasis on coulour its Shadesmare is bound to be colourful, what could make the sky of a planet's Shadesmare broken? You've probably already realized where I was going with all that: I think the Expanse of the Broken Sky is Threnody, and the reason it's called that way is that the wound in the Spiritual Realm Harmony talked about is visible from Shadesmare.

Of course not. I just meant she won't go on an hate crusade against him like Shai

Able to speak a language != will never prefer speaking another language. Cryptics are embodiments of natural laws, maybe the one Pattern is the embodiment of have something to do with why and how languages change? Why? Speaking languages is not just about be Cognitive, it's about having Connexion, which is why the sprens with adhesion (Honourspren and Boundsmith sprens) don't seem to have language barrier issues while the other do.

I sincerely doubt Yolen can be Roshar They probably did not formaly bound themselves not to settle on the same planet, otherwise Cultivation would already be dead Ati: We did not settle on the same planet, we settle the planet. Big difference Others: Rusting loopholes Honestly I'd love that to be exact but my previous point stands Odium didn't kill them because he considered Ambition, Dominion (approximately the embodiment of Conquest), Devotion, Honour and Cultivation as more urgent targets. Devotion was probably far less urgent than Dominion but why not kill both at the same time? Honestly from how Hoid talks about Ati it's likely Leras was just trying to put his friend out of his misery. The Desolations started less than a lifetime after the destruction of Ashyn, not enough time to kill the Shards of two different planets with the help of two different Shards. And if we know anything about about the Long Trail, it's that it's long Not sure how much credit we should give to this citation, but Yolen->Sel->Ashyn->Roshar doesn't look like a stupid idea for the trail, especially since it's not a coincidence that Ash's name is almost Transform-Beauty-Light written in Aons

If Brandon really want to flex his writing skills he might have a redemption arc, probably of the redemption=death type though.

But Shai and Bavadin didn't. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the Bavatars had created a "let's take down Hoid" organisation Don't forget Valour Hoid betraying Shai saved the Rose empire. If Hoid betrayed Jasnah it would either save Roshar or the Cosmere and she knows it. Jasnah's attracted to no one, and isn't 'only fall in love with people she has an established respect for or connection with' the norm? Yes, because she's ace. Which has no bearing on whether she's aro or not.

"Maybe tomorrow. Now I need to sleep" On these words she went to her room

"Impressive." She eyed the cup in his hands "Do you have anymore of that?"

"Getting off isn't that hard, as long as you pay the right Elantrian. Getting on on the other hand..." She shuddered at memory the burn of the of the Dor. Adilie's eyes widened "You managed to get a Seon offworld?"

Which is why he and Hoid mentioned he was late.

I had missundertood your post. Spren are drawn by personalities so I doubt Herald's descendents would attract the same kind of sprens Spark bounded Malata but they're both against the Radiants

If the magnets analogy is correct then it was normal Voidlight, it's just that the Rhythms of Roshar were too strong for Navani's plate to have any effect on it. I can see two possibilities: It's very long and Odium wanted to destroy all his main targets (Ambition, Domination and probably Honour) before trying to do it. Completly destroying a Shard would create an imbalance in the Cosmere big enough that Odium fears the consequences, or that it would shift the intent of every remaining Shards so that the universe is still complete.

It'd probably be harder than that

I'm seeing a Forgery stamp honestly

Ashspren are the spren of the Dustbringers and most of them hate humanity. The cryptics have always been the spren of Ash's order
