    We don't, though? A non-Hoid figure took it, and there's currently no info about their identity.

    This may cause problems; Cord is one of the few that Rysn can confide in, and thus her being a Bondsmith may lead the Dawnshard to be revealed. However, from a meta perspective, that's interesting to write about.
  3. Milk
    I think that both possibilities are likely, but we can't know for sure until more info is revealed. Oh, we have interacted before! Hi again, then!

    Wait a minute I think what we were arguing for have inverted. I was going to use that argument for why Wit would stay in Roshar!

    I think him breaking the Nahel bond should be considered a possibility. And you might be confusing me for someone else, I'm relatively new to the forum.

    Good point; Wit mentions that he has a grudge against Rayse, although I'm not sure about it being the primary motivator. I am aware that Wit appears in Scadrial era 2, though I have not read the books so I don't know if he shows Radiant Lightweaving there. Oh hey you noticed my comment here earlier =)

    Considering Taravangian managed to instill true terror in Wit, I'm sure he views Odium as a threat still. (Although I feel he would run away from him, more likely.) In addition, quoting Harmony, "The power of Odium’s Shard is more dangerous than the mind behind it." "In truth, it would be a combination of a Vessel’s craftiness and the power’s Intent that we should fear most." Furthermore, he can't do Radiant Lightweaving outside the Rosharan system, since spren are confined to it. I think that could be a reason behind staying.

    Brandon has, on numerous occasions, mentioned that flashback characters could be dead in the present time of their book; here and here, for example. (Also, don't forget Renarin! Who are you, Dalinar?)

    Firstly, the Sibling is also Cultivation's child, I think. Second, Wyndle states that "Cultivation created her to be apart, separated from humankind, un-Connected." I think the Nightwatcher's solitude is more to help her grow on her own, but you make a good point on her regressing.
  10. Milk
    That's a good point. He says that they "seem Connected to Odium to feed directly on his power." Still, it's unknown whether a direct Connection to Odium would drive away spren, and if so, whether it is due to the power itself or how the spren feels about it. If it's the latter, the Nightwatcher, the one spren completely disconnected from human perception, would probably be willing to bond a Fused. In addition, the Old Magic may be able to change Connections.

    I don't think just a Connection to Odium would drive away spren. Odium mentions his Connection to Dalinar grows in Chapter 112 or RoW, for example. Besides, it's not that direct a Connection. Odium doesn't seem to be able to directly communicate with Fused at will, aside from the Nine, and all we really see is his rhythms overriding the natural ones.

    Presumably you're referencing this WoB. Firstly, it's not the Investiture of hemalurgy that seems to drive spren back, but the damage in the Spiritweb. Second, we already see spren interact with Odium's Investiture; Timbre bonds with Regals, and Venli even uses Voidlight with no ill effect to the lightspren.
  13. Milk
    While I never thought of it, some readers believed that Timbre could be Eshonai's soul. Brandon later debunked it, but it seems like such a fun idea.
  14. Milk
    Leshwi thinks that, but evidence suggests otherwise. The Fused are not under Odium's direct control, as his and Dalinar's talk proves. In addition, as Venli shows, Odium and Cultivation's powers can exist together. The question, then, is whether Cognitive Shadows like a Fused can bond a spren; the answer is yes, as Nale has a spren. It's entirely possible for Fused to form Nahel bonds.

    The Coppermind has a gallery, both official and fanart, of Dalinar here; I personally like Marie Seeberger's depiction of him. Prof doesn't seem to have a dedicated gallery, though, but has this one picture.

    I wasn't alone in thinking there are parallels between the two wielders of Jezrien's Blade! One of the things that I thought of, building on your talk about guilt, was how Moash claims that "he was a product of his culture", how he rejects responsibility. (Although this isn't really elaborated on in RoW.) Szeth, on the other hand, talks about how having simply followed orders does not absolve a man. A fundamental theme of Stormlight is choice, and Szeth telling Moash how he could have chosen to not be a cruel murderer (which Renarin also shows!) would be interesting.
