    Thank you team 17th Shard for this! Y'all are the best
  2. EdgedancerJacob
    Cool, this is what I assumed -- thanks for confirming!

    One mechanics question I don't think the book answered is why Dusk was drawn specifically to Cakoban's island. At the end of Part 2, he seemingly is drawn to the Knell, but when we see him in Book 3, he's pulling up to this island. Is this because it was the only island nearby?

    This is a good point, so thanks for calling it out. I do still think the theory works with this in mind -- knowing Vasher's personality, I can't image he loved working for someone like Gavilar, but it could make sense if Gavilar was giving him the resources needed to discover and/or create Anti-Light.
  5. EdgedancerJacob
    In the prologue to Wind and Truth, we discovered that Vasher was working with Gavilar to create Anti-Light. My theory is a simple one: Vasher's goal here was to find a way to destroy Nightblood. Whether that would work or not is up for debate, but I could see Vasher's logic if that were the case. I also think this could have contributed to Vasher, Vivenna, and Nightblood splitting up. Does this pass the 17th Shard sniff test??

    Frankly, I hope this does not happen. At least his reason for changing Words of Radiance was not about fan reception, but unhappiness with the decision he made. Even this is a little frustrating to me, to be honest. Worth noting that I'm not someone who was too bothered by the prose or humor. I thought it was unremarkable but not a negative.

    What a great question! I vote Riino's! That said, I'm not sure Kaladin will ever be known as a Herald in the Vorin (or, frankly, any) religion. Nobody knows he's a Herald yet, and presumably people who already know him will still be alive when he Returns. I guess we'll see if Heralds are still a thing at the end of Stormlight 10.

    Seeing Argent in the flesh would be like seeing a rare pokemon (this is true of all Shardcast members, but for some reason Argent seems particularly rare)

    Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before.......... pancakes.

    Fun episode! Your conversation about the Fused villains was interesting, though I have a thought to add: To me, Abidi worked in the story, because he continued to show how truly crazed the Fused are - and therefore how limited Odium's options are. Whether Odium was aware of it or not, his once-powerful "monarch" is now an absolute buffoon. Additionally, I think this sort of over-the-top and (for us) short-lived villain was necessary given Wind and Truth is the first book where Odium is the tangible, primary villain. He has a ton of POVs and is the #1 threat the characters are working to stop. Just my two cents! Abidi was a strangely memorable character to me lol

    Ahhh that makes sense. I understood that the visions were in the SR, but didn't connect this piece to it. This also makes sense to me - though I know Kaladin was hoping to get them to a more healed place before the next Return. So I assumed more time = more opportunity to do that. To be honest, I'm sure he'd want more time with them.
  12. EdgedancerJacob
    This is really confusing to me in the book. Why are they experiencing time at a faster rate than those on Roshar - i.e. why do they seem to exist outside of the planet's time dilation? This is especially confusing to me, because you'd think the Heralds would want more time to relax and recuperate.

    These are amazing!!! Would buy

    I think this is correct. Investiture can't be created or destroyed, so the idea of it 'vaporizing' seems more like a poetic descriptor than something that should be taken literally. Or maybe the Stormfather was the Investiture that went off to somewhere unknown.
  15. EdgedancerJacob
    I think that, yes, those do count! And yet another example of why this may be worth asking Brandon!!
