Through the Living Wrath

With the Soulcasting Jasnah uses, the effects are extremely powerful, but also extremely difficult. With this, Shallan may say, hey, everyone is covered in solid investiture. And then on on greater levels this could create an explosion due to the displacement of the air. How much acceleration do the air particles have? A heck of a lot, since one moment they’re there, and the other, they are, say, 20 feet away. They would be moving at a substantial fraction of c. This has already been seen on some level with the density changes due to Soulcasting. When Jasnah soul cast a large boulder into smoke, the smoke expanded outwards. This wouldn’t do anything much in shadesmar because the general populace doesn’t know much of physics near Roshar.

This contains stuff from RoW

The Grand Knell could be the location of the Dor (Or at least where Dominion and Devotion died). It would make sense, because of the philosophy of Elantris (I can’t remember the exact philosophy, but it is something like the Dor corresponding to a current). Also, the Dor is very location oriented, so compasses would be thematically appropriate. The Dor is also the location of the investiture of not one, but two shards. That’s a lot of investiture, so it makes sense it could be pinpointed from far away.

Remember, Honor was not the human’s Shard. Honor was first working with the Parshendi. Odium is the one who brought the humans to Roshar (the whole “weeeee are the voidbringers morale debate”)

We know what the words the real stormfather needed were. Life before Death, Strength before Weakness, Journey before destination. So either the Stormfather is evil, or someone else is talking to Gavilar. Plus, the Stormfather lied. We know that going against the intent of a Shard is lethal to the Vessel, why should it be differ for fractions of a Shard? The Stormfather is the biggest fraction of Honors investiture, and I don’t think extensive plotting and lying is not very honorable (Although Syl, imitating an voidspren, and Pattern, lying to the Honorspren, have both lied). We can extrapolate that this change in personality is not bc of Gavilar, because the voice implies that it was plotting before it decided to chose Gavilar.

Guys. Guys. Listen to this. “Give it to me!!!!!” (Or so) is apparently close to the words Gavilar needs to say. But Gavilar HASNT EVEN SWORN THE FIRST IDEAL. So unless “give it to me is similar” to “life before death”, I think Odium (or a third party) was piggybacking Gavilars bond to the Stormfather to be able to talk to him.

But when Dalinar sees nales bonds, he doesn’t see anything bout a spren bond, does he?

I think Wind and Truth was likely written by Sigzil or Renarin. We think of Lightweavers as the only Radiants to deal in matters of truth, but Sigzil was both a Windrunner, and a Skybreaker. Renarin works with Windrunners but LITERALLY a TRUTHwatcher. Plus, those two are the only ones able to write in bridge four other than Lyn. Plus, Wit mentions that the Wind listened and talked to him, and he supports Kal bc it does the same to him. We know that the author heard the Wind, but doesn’t now. Coincidentally, Sig was Wit’s apprentice, but isn’t anymore. Wit probably chose Sig because he knew Sig heard the Wind.
