Hello, first post, be gentle with me

We don't really know that the Nightwatcher is a Bondsmith spren. It's a good theory, seems widely accepted and quite probable. But so far as I know, no in-book quote or WoB confirms her as such. I think it's likely that she probably is one of the three Bondsmith spren, as a counterpart to the Stormfather.

She already has a magic system (-ish?) associated with her, the Boon and Curse: granting a wish but with a curse attached alongside it. Couldn't someone also ask her for the boon of being granted Radiancy (is that the word?). Has anyone in Roshar's history? Could she grant other spren bonds, lower spren or spren of the other Orders? And assuming she is a Radiant spren, could someone ask to bond with her? Could it be how she herself is supposed to be bonded?

Could the next Bondsmith have to trek to the Valley and ask for the boon of bonding her? What could be the Curse to accompany such a Boon? Would they need to speak the Ideals or would the Curse, sort of, supplant the words?

In Oathbringer we see how close the Nightwatcher and Cultivation are spoilers. It might stand to reason that Cultivation would pick who the Nightwatcher bonds. She does have a much more keen insight on the events of the future than anyone else. I would also assume we have already seen this character and their character arc is already leading them to go to the valley. Someone who has adventure in there heart has traveled the world and understands the cultures and can bring people together but also someone who appreciates caring of plants and animals and would have a reason to visit the Nightwatcher. Rysn... perhaps. But as a wise Mokian once said "Don't make assumptions idiot."

what order of radiant would you like to be most?

Stoneward warrior at heart, but I'm also scared of heights so i'm no Windrunner. Strong dependable noble and adventurous sounds perfect.

Steelheart is the best

But I am here for Cosmere
