Adolin seems to have Breath. I highly doubt that what he is wielding is an Awakened sword. As for his hair, what could be a better disguise? Lightweaving his hair to change colors and people will associate Adolin with silver hair, rather then blond and black.

They are very similar. Nice catch. Perhaps the Shattered plains were inspired by other cymatic patterns as well.

I personally don’t think Maya can be revived. Regardless, I do believe that Adolin has Breath. Vasher would never create another Awakened Sword, considering his past. Azure’s blade probably was taken from Yesteel. The only other explanation is some kind of Spren illuminating the stones, or Breath.

Nightblood is one of a kind, but Yesteel is said to have figured out how to make type IV Awakened objects. Either Vasher created more, or this one came from Yesteel. It could be something other than an Awakened Sword...Adolin could have gained Breath somehow.

The tower thing could be a strange Shadesmar oddity, or it could be a stronghold or a monument of some kind.

The obsidian fortress Dalinar sees is described as having fin like protrusions. This one is just a giant slab of obsidian.

I think those are clouds. Shadesmar has been described as having a highway of clouds leading to the sun.

He has a large sword. I don’t think he has a gun.

It’s in Shadesmar, obviously. Some kind of fortress or strange mountain on the left? Waves of stone on the ground...why? What are those shapes by Shallan? Spren? Odd Shadesmar trees Where is Pattern? This cover probably raises more questions than it answers.

You mean F-Chromium right? I’m pretty sure F-Nicrosil stores Investiture. We don’t know much about fortune, but this certainly seems possible. Perhaps this could work with Aons and other Investitures on Sel.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Ones in Oathbringer did not use such tactics. They teamed up against strong opponents or fought solo against multiple weaker opponents. These duels seem like a trick of some kind, intended to make the Windrunners believe that the Fused are somewhat predictable/honorable in their dueling-focused way of combat. Then, the Heavenly Ones spring a trap and team up against a large group of Windrunners, surrounding and killing the confused Windrunners.

Now, you could spike a few Returned to gain 3 (if you don’t want Shards to be able to control you) Divine Breaths. That would probably gain you an aura of about 6,000 breaths, though you can’t awaken with them. Figuring out where to spike a Returned and what binds points to place to spikes on will be tough, considering that no one seems to know much about Hemalurgy besides some Shards, who don’t seem to be inclined to share (for good reason).

Didn’t the lead Singer in charge of Hearthstone, Abiajan, claim that “we have been blessed” when the Singer came? I don’t think Regals are considered holy enough to be a blessing when they arrive at a town.

Envoyform and Stormform both do not use Voidlight. This Singer does.

Transportation may have more uses that just Realmatic Transition, like how the Surge of Growth can grow and regrow. The Fused had surge-mimicking powers, as opposed to something small like lighting. This Fused also seems to have a great amount of combat experience, which can only come from being immortal/reincarnating.

Willshapers like to explore. That, along with Transportation, makes them another Radiant Worldhopper possibility. Brandon also probably has to keep some information from us for Jasnah’s flashbacks.

More like he believes he is a god. He probably just leads the worship of himself.

Ash worships Adonalsium, it seems. The other Heralds might have done the same, or are continuing to do so. I’m pretty sure Ishar worships himself though.

My theory is that the Honorspren are scared of the Fused. The Fused, attempting to cut down on the number of radients, probably threatened war and violence to the Honorspren if they’d continue to bond. The Honorspren leaders are therefore forced to stop allowing spren to bond.

In Oathbringer the recording gems that the Radiants left behind in Urithiru were described as “not being able to hold a Stormlight charge for long, and will vibrate something fierce.” They were further described as have many twisted cuts and imperfections. My guess is that is what we are seeing here, with these Fabrial spears.

Perhaps the gem has many imperfections. The Fabrial drains the Stormlight into the sphere, which dissipates the the Stormlight quickly due to the imperfections in the cut.

All solid Investiture is in metal form. If you want to regulate the Fabrials, you would presumably need something Invested. Doesn’t seem like overlap from Scadrial to me, but rather just finding the best material. As for metal type, Fabrials likely don’t need Allomantic purity or even have the metal be an Allomantic metal. We will learn more from the next Epigraph hopefully.

How would he achieve this? He wouldn’t have lasted long enough in the Cognitive Realm to do much.

And now I will have nightmares of Moash taking the Shard of Odium.

Yes, then I can change my picture.
