Alright, I said I was going to sleep and it turns out I lied. I've been reading RoW since then. You're right!

Not Kelsier. Not Lift. Not Leras. Not Preservation. Not Elend. Not Cultivation. Not Sja-Anat. Not Taravangian. Not Hrathen. Not Warbreaker. This character works to build peace. This character stood to inherit power. This character opposes progression. This character abandons a friend. This character was thought to have perished, but no! One last bonus clue, and I'll be back in the morning: This character leads their people to relative safety.

Not Lift, no. Not Leras. Not Preservation. Not Elend. Not Cultivation. Not Sja-Anat. Not Taravangian. Not Hrathen. Not Warbreaker. This character works to build peace.

Not Elend. Despite quite a range, not Cultivation, Sja-Anat, or Taravangian. Not Hrathen. Not Warbreaker. This character works to build peace. This character stood to inherit power. This character opposes progression.

Technically: yes. Actually: no. Well he was a bit full of it. But not Warbreaker. This character works to build peace. This character stood to inherit power.

Nice one. Royalty threw me for a bit. This character works to build peace.

Warbreaker the Peaceful.

Bajerden. Edit: Cancel that, something else came to mind. VaraTreledees.

Jezrien.

The Lopen.

Rayse.

El.

Kaladin.

The Ssibling? Or Sibled. Not them. Correct! Eshonai and Venli's father, Jaxlim's mate, who is mentioned I think only three times.

Not Essu's father, but I like your thinking.

Neither Eshonai nor Navani, but one of you is very close. Not Timbre. Not Gavilar. Not Vathi. This character is an explorer. This character has a family we know well. This character has heard Rhythms and Tones. This character's partner is very important. This character is not named or seen on-screen, but we know details of their appearance.

We do meet her family, but not Timbre. Not Gavilar. Not Vathi. This character is an explorer. This character has a family we know well. This character has heard Rhythms and Tones. This character's partner is very important.

A trap? I wouldn't lay such a thing. Not Gavilar. Not Vathi. This character is an explorer. This character has a family we know well. This character has heard Rhythms and Tones.

Not Vathi. This character is an explorer. This character has a family we know well.

Cor, that was a tough one. I feel I must respond in kind. This character is an explorer.

Aha! Rind the quartermaster. We don't hear from him much after WoR.

Storms. Alaward?

Perhaps lighteyes is a ruse. Ua'pam.

It's usually whoever guesses right goes next, but that's quite alright - I was literally asleep on the job. Kiin.
