Wasn’t Nohadon around before Tanavast died? TWoK was the ancient radiants guide.

Winter just quietly follows Sharlin and Squall. He isn’t about to argue with them.

Winter examines the rivers and eventually is fairly confident which one they want. “I think we want to go this way.” He says, gesturing at the water.

Dalinar did nothing wrong. Change my mind
Lord Spirit replied to Lord Spirit's topic in Stormlight Archive
Evi’s death was a complete accident. Saedeas’s death was murder. Evi was definitely a better person, but no one person should be allowed to decided who lives and dies. I will say that Adolin is worse in this comparison. -
Dalinar did nothing wrong. Change my mind
Lord Spirit replied to Lord Spirit's topic in Stormlight Archive
I’ll admit Dalinar isn’t good at parenting, but my points still stand: he had justification for the rift and he genuinely regrets his deeds. Despite the neglect you mention, Adolin had good relationship with his father during WoK. Dalinar did care about his children, but he was very military minded and focused on saving Alethekar. He is capable of love; he makes that clear to Elohkar several times, but he’s not good at showing it. I feel like we don’t have any perspectives of Dalinar thoughts on Adolin until the chapters we just got. Adolin believes that Dalinar has overly high expectations, but that’s his view. Dalinar has had high expectations, but they aren’t anything Dalinar himself doesn’t follow. He wants the best for Adolin, but Adolin doesn’t see it that way. As far as I remember, he accepted Adolins murder easier than Adolin accepted his. -
“The best way to find the highest stream would be to go to the top of the mountain and work our way down. We should get going. We’re wasting time.” Winter says. He had spent the past years on his own, and he has developed a habit of doing things as soon as possible. @TheRavenHasLanded

I have two things to say here. 1. So chapter 20 furthers Adolin’s growing resentment of his father. I can understand getting mad with him for killing Evi and not being a great father. But he got along great (mostly) with Dalinar during the first 3 books, so I feel like his anger is a bit unessecary. They had a year between Oathbringer and RoW to talk things out, but apparently Adolin just chose to let it sit? 2. There are a lot of people who are upset with Dalinar for his rampaging as the blackthorn. But, the thing is… his actions were completely legal and justified. Gavilar told him to conquer a city, and he did. Yes burning the rift was extreme. But he was at war, which is an exception to normal life, and I think he was specifically told to make an example of the city. And he only went nuclear after trying to be peaceful. But he was doing what Gavilar told him. Gavilar knew full well what Dalinar was capable of and chose to send his very violent brother to deal with the problem. By contrast, Adolin killed Saedeas on his own accord and never got punished for it. It was illegal and wrong, even if Saedeas definitely deserved it. He shouldn’t hold Dalinar to a standard that he doesn’t follow.

Winter watches Sharlin walk off into the trees and Squall as he follows. I could sneak off right now and they would have no idea where I went. Could probably take some supplies to. But then I would be alone while other tributes are making teams. Better to stay here, but I need to be careful. Squall doesn’t seem very trustworthy. @J. Magi @TheRavenHasLanded

Force field.

“Finding water is important, we just need to be careful.” Winter answers. He wasn’t sure who the new tribute was, but Sharlin seemed to trust him, so he would go along for now.

Winter stands there kinda awkwardly, watching the two talk.

Winter decides to follow her lead and get some rest. He’s just dozing off when he notices an aviar approaching the cave. “Uh, Sharlin? Someone’s bird is here!” He says, slightly panicked.

Not drinking or shooting anyone.
