Knights of Wisdom, and it's about the Radiants before the Recreance.

Okay, that's a really valid point about Shardic intents. I wholeheartedly agree now about them not being able to remove autonomy at all, even to create more of it. The one thing that still confuses me, however, is Trell on Scadrial. If Autonomy can't remove any autonomy, then why are they trying to transform and influence Scadrial? This WoB clarifies a lot, thanks. Although like most things with Brandon, it also raises much more questions, like why they would work with Odium if the Shards are better alone.

The reason that the second one fits with autonomy is that you can have an autonomous group of people, just as long as everybody has the same beliefs. Autonomy could view being autonomous as turning the Cosmere into basically a hive-mind, where everybody thinks the same way. That is probably why Autonomy helped Odium splinter Dominion, because the shard's intent would make it difficult to conquer the Cosmere that way. If everybody has the same philosophy as Autonomy, then there can be no outside influence and everything will be autonomous. If everybody is basically you, nobody can alter you. But I think it really boils down to the perception of Bavadin. And again, odds are the main villain will be a huge plot twist and end up being Kavez Kholin from Oathbringer anyway.

Autonomy is a very strange Shard. They are placing avatars all over the place for seemingly no apparent reason. I was wondering what their plan could be, and I came up with a plausible theory. There are two ways to become autonomous; you can either completely isolate yourself from outside influence, or you can bring everybody into your nation and all have the exact same view on everything. I think that Autonomy is trying to spread their influence throughout the Cosmere. They have also most likely aided Odium in splintering Dominion, another Shard that would like to conquer. Autonomy is currently trying to destroy Harmony through Trell, one of their avatars. They also have influence on First of the Sun (Patji), Obrodai (unknown Avatar), and Taldain (the Sand Lord). My theory is that in era 4 Mistborn, Odium will already have been dealt with, and Autonomy will be the villain. The Scadrians will have already dealt with Autonomy in era 3, and will know how bad they are. The plot of era 4 could be Scadrial recruiting the other two major Shardworlds, Roshar and Sel, and then they will clear out Autonomy in every planet. Other crackpot theories about Autonomy are that Jaddeth, the god that the Shu-Dereth worship on Sel, is actually an avatar of Autonomy. This is how their priest is getting his visions, and the point is to convert all of Sel to Shu-Dereth so that they can worship Jaddeth/Autonomy. Well, that's my crazy theory. Go ahead and completely tear it apart. I want to know what you guys think.

I think that the Godspren would have final say in the end. After all, the Stormfather respects Dalinar, but doesn't always agree with his opinion of people. I can't see any one of the extremely powerful Godspren (especially if they're all as strong-willed as the Stormfather) letting somebody else dictate who they bond. I think that most likely it would be a Bondsmith squire but that is because squires tend to meld to the personality of the order. Spending lots of time around a Bondsmith would shape them to become more like one themself. However, I am definitely in agreement with your first theory.

I'm excited for Szeth with both Nightblood and a Shardblade dueling Nale with his two blades, while Kaladin and Moash have a battle and Shallan has a Soulcasting battle with Jasnah over the Ghostbloods. This will be the best way to end SA5

Hood's flute is an unsealed metalmind that stores mental speed, and he gave it to Kaladin so he could discover the meaning of Hoid's stories faster. Hoid was annoyed with Kaladin for losing it because he'd put years of his mental speed into it. Mraize likes collecting magical objects from other worlds, and thought the flute would be a great addition to his collection.Mraize now has Hoid's flute. Aviar and Reen's obsidian

I like most of this theory, but I personally like the idea of Kelsier and Hoid working together with their own separate agendas.

I'm an Elsecaller, so hooray! I found that Skybreaker was next and Lightweaver was last. None of that surprises me at all. Apparently I also show Truth watcher qualities, so this quiz has taught me something!
