Oh, never mind, thanks though.

I honestly just had the best idea. The Stormfather tells Dalinar that "He had done enough to The Sibling already". Or something like that. Now, Dalinar's flashbacks already happened and he's not a Lightweaver, confronting and speaking truths, so what he had done to the sibling must have been on-screen. The only thing I can think of is that The Sibling is Oathbringer, which Dalinar wielded for like twenty years or something.

A man wearing light blue clothes opens the door, appearing before Mistrunner and the congregation. "Me and my spren have found the first two oaths of the Knights Awkward," he says. "Books before friends. 17th Shard before the real world. Release dates before birthdays. I will show Brandon to those who haven't read Brandon themselves. May I join the Knights Awkward?" A tiny blue book appears next to his head and, flapping open and closed like a mouth, says, "Mmmmmm. Brandon....."

But it still did say "of Surges and Spren", which heavily implies that Surges and spren were involved

In the Eila Stele, it said that the humans arrived, with dangerous powers, "Of Surges and Spren". Here's the issue. As far as we know, there weren't Honorblades until the Desolations started, and spren didn't start forming a Nahel bond after that. So, either, there were already Honorblades of some type (although I believe that when humans arrived on Roshar they were followers of Odium, so maybe Odiumblades?), or they were Surgebinding in some other way. This would also mean that there's some undiscovered-as-of-yet magic system with spren (I guess maybe that could be referring to fabrials), and that, aside from the Nahel bond and Honorblades, there's some way to Surgebind, maybe with Dawnshards. Does my logic make sense?

But the concept of var is evil.

 

What I meant is that, while peace is always the better option, war is sometimes necessary (an example could be WWII against the Nazis). Maybe I should have said the concept of war isn't necessarily evil.

In my book, he kills him dead with a shardblade, and burns his eyes out. I haven't forgiven Brandon for the awkward ret-con, and since I've only ever read or owned an edition of the book in which Kaladin kills Szeth with Syl, I consider that canon. Unfortunately, I when the leatherbound WoR comes out, I suspect they'll use the ret-con, not the original, which is a mess just waiting to happen.

 

What do you mean? BS retconned Kaladin vs Szeth?

I think that Lirin is, not necessarily in this book, but at some point, become a Radiant with access to Regrowth, and accept that the concept of war isn't evil. No evidence or anything, but I think that this would be really cool if it happened.

Hello and welcome!

Who's your least favorite Sanderson character?

Moash. Duh.

Thank you! I started with WoK, as a family member was listening to WoR as an audiobook, I heard some of it, and decided to give the series a try. I definitely think it's one of the best places to start. I don't wish I'd started somewhere else.

Oh, okay, thanks then @Weltall

Hmm...my favorite character...Lift, probably. Or maybe Sazed. I'm not honestly sure. Probably Lift though.

I'm not? K, thanks. And thanks for explaining. @Vapor

And what does giving people reputation mean?

Can you @ people here? Vapor, I've read everything Cosmere but White Sand and Aether of Night, Legion, Skyward, Alcatraz, Rithmatist, and the Reckoners. I'm definitely a Sanderson fan. Mist, hmm...I've always wanted to fly so Surgebinding, and, more specifically, Windrunning?

Is mist just of Preservation, or of Investiture in general? Because Stormlight, rising from a Surgebinder's body, looks mistlike, and Nergaoul looked to be made of red mist. And that brings me to my second point. The Unmade are associated with the color red, which is that of corrupted Investiture. What were they Unmade from? Is it possible that they were Unmade from the Sibling? Off the top of my head, the first chronological reference to the Unmade was when Ba-Ado-Mishram Connected with the parsh. Is it possible that there wasn't a third Bondsmith at that time? I believe I read that there were only two, or even one Bondsmiths at times approaching the Recreance.

Hello People (I used this name online before book 3 FYI, it isn't based on that).
