Nightwatcher's Boon Revisited
Vessel of Theory replied to Vessel of Theory's topic in Stormlight Archive
I agree that it's beyond most to predict the motives of a Cosmere god I think that Nale at some point was so broken that, possibly after advice from Ishar, went to the Nightwatcher(not Cultivation) and asked for some kind of ability to mete "justice". I think that Nightblood changed his beliefs and the way he sees the world, resulting in him giving it away to Szeth and gaining new perceptions.- 10 replies

Nightwatcher's Boon Revisited
Vessel of Theory replied to Vessel of Theory's topic in Stormlight Archive
I agree and understand most of this, but I do want to contest one thing - Nale's perceptions of "good" and "evil". He has sworn the fifth Ideal of the Skybreakers: "I am the law". IMO, he believes some things are "right" and others "wrong", not necessarily evil. I think he believes that while he is incapable of discerning good from evil, he believes that there is some greater power which can. Or, even better: He asks the Nightwatcher to be able to destroy evil, gets Nightblood, and then realizes that human perception is flawed and none are without guilt. This could in turn lead to his cynical attitude of "uphold the laws because it's all we can do".- 10 replies

The End of the Stormlight Archive
Vessel of Theory replied to Necarion's topic in Stormlight Archive
No, what I mean is it'll be one person taking up multiple Shards, as seen on Scadrial. -
The End of the Stormlight Archive
Vessel of Theory replied to Necarion's topic in Stormlight Archive
I believe that "we've seen how SA will end" on Scadrial, with an unlikely stepping up to pick up multiple Shards. Posted this theory before, so I'll just spoiler it: -
Hey all, Shard of Theory back with another hopefully awesome theory. I was thinking about Oathbringer, young Dalinar, and the Nightwatcher's(Cultivation's) boon to him, and this theory hit me like Vin hitting Straff at the end of Well of Ascension. The Nightwatcher offered Dalinar Nightblood, which he declined. The first time we see Nightblood in Roshar is in the hands of Nale, the at least partially insane Herald and leader of the Skybreakers. Nale, however, gives Nightblood to Szeth. We've all wondered where Nale got Nightblood - and I think we've all kind of assumed he picked it off a random "criminal's" body. But what if it's actually a boon from the Nightwatcher? I can see a crazy Herald going to a piece of God and asking to be able to destroy evil - isn't that what Nale wants? To end "evil" permanently? It's possible this has already been posted, or is common knowledge to all but me, but I haven't seen it before and so I wanted to share it with y'all. What do you think about Nale getting a boon from the Nightwatcher? Would he, and if so, what would he have asked for(or rather, how would he have worded it)? What do you think his curse is?

How do you guys like your eggs? I like mine over easy, though I sometimes theorize that they are uncooked and will kill me in my sleep. -

Thanks for covering for me, @Bearer of All Agonies, @Emi, and @Truthless of Shinovar. The rest of you disappoint me. But that's okay, because I can just go ahead and win, I guess. -

Ah, I understand. You could use dissent, if you so wished. You could also use "double plus untrue". -

After carefully considering everyone's thoughts on the matter, my Shardworld is now a noodle. -

Why not? However, I think they are made of grain. Just the whole theory thing. Hang on, lemme check my Shardworld. -

Hey, got a theory to drop on y'all, but then I hafta fly away and run a planet, mkay? What if rice is a type of noodle? And, to go further, what if we argued that noodles are primarily made up of grain and binding agents? Thus, we come to the inevitable conclusion that rice is udon is noodles is noddles is sliced bread with butter. Not to pat myself on the back, but I really think I'm on to something here. Anyone else? -

I can sometimes nap, but I never really have time with school and work... When I do, though, I always wake up sweating. It's kinda like a modified version of grogginess, only it feels like summer(whether or not it is, in fact, summer). If y'all get what I'm saying, that's great. Otherwise, that's fine too -
