    Taeidin peered at it. "Well, I'm not sure, but - hang on. There, there, there... these are some of the places where I've seen the orbs!"

    Anibelmeth considered. She could feel a Connection to a few of the pools, some stronger than others. But one would serve her needs best. She started towards Mercy but then paused. Anibelmeth approached Ikaretekeketeraki'nantaríãī. "Why do you mourn Adonalsium? What we did was right. We released them, saved them."

    Taeidin looks over them. "I don't know about these, but this one," he says, gesturing to one of the maps, "I know where all this is. It's where I was previously. But... they have certain points marked out on it. It feels like they should be familiar, but I can't see how these places connect..."

    I don't think you can veto what I say. The sticks burn to death.

    Bartholomew, thankful that the sandwich is out of the Dreamscape, appears, along with four other fish with legs.

    Adonalsium was dead. That was good. Anibelmeth had released them, stopped the endless suffering. But... she had only thought up to this point. This had been the goal, the ultimate objective. What did she do now? Anibelmeth looked around her and noticed the others. They were standing in pools of its splintered power, preparing to take it up. No. She had worked to stop this. The power was not for mortals to control. The everlasting pain of godhood... she could not allow this to happen. Anibelmeth prepared to talk to them but then stopped herself. Even if... even if I could convince them otherwise, someone else would take up the powers. Someone less worthy. And the cycle would continue. As she paced and thought, Anibelmeth came to a conclusion. The powers would have to be splintered. All of them. But there was a problem. The Dawnshards were not present. She could go after them, but she could spend her whole life looking and never find them again. So there is only one way to do this, it seems. But they would not like it. Greed was far too corrupting a thing. She would have to move slowly, carefully, so as not to trigger the ire of the others. And when all was said and done, the cosmere would finally be freed. Her mind set, Anibelmeth surveyed each of the unclaimed powers in turn, searching for one that she might align with and use for her own ends.

    too late to save them.

    Bartholomew looks about as angry as a fish with legs can get at this turn of events.

    Fortune, as an aspect of Investiture, is probably the least understood, but it can manifest in many different ways. I find your stone analogy simplistic. It is not one action taken and then resolved; it is millions of actions all being taken and trying to guess at the answer. If you threw a hundred stones at each other at once, it would be nearly impossible to predict where each would land. It is stated clearly that the Wind (and other spren) do not think that the Night of Sorrows will happen based on information given to them, but "sense" that something bad is coming. Do you not think that if the outcome could be determined by merely knowing of an imminent clash and observing Death Rattles, Cultivation and Odium would not have been able to predict it? I agree that futuresight is overused, but it seems obvious in the case of the Wind that they are directly accessing it. How else would they know, "Oh, Kaladin needs to come to Shinovar, away from the action, and reforge the Oathpact because all of the spren will be in danger due to the forming of Retribution and the coming of the Night of Sorrows"? It was more subtle than that, but still. I would conjecture that the Wind's access to the future seems to be similar to Hoid's: they can sense when important things are happening and generally what and who needs to be where, but cannot literally see the future. Back to the topic of the Stormwardens, it seems unlikely to me now in reflection that the Wind would use Fortune to predict a highstorm, and it is much more likely that they simply know where the highstorm is.

    When used at the start of a sentence, wasing (almost always) indicates past or present tense. When used as a verb, it can have a myriad of meanings, including to do, to be, and altering the conjugation of other verbs in the phrase, among other possible meanings.

    You can just jump in. Most of the stuff won't end up being relevant to you, but you'll pick it up with time.

    The Wind has at least some access to Fortune, as it was able to tell that the Night of Sorrows was approaching and knew that because of this, the spren would be endangered, and also knew that Kaladin would somehow be able to help this. While near the end all spren seemed to sense the coming of the Night of Sorrows, the Wind predicted it much earlier and knew far more about it. But also, with the Stormfather being made sort of to replace the Wind, it is possible that the Wind just has some sort of connection to the Highstorms that lets them know where they are.

    Somewhere in WaT, I believe it says that along with the Wind, Stone, and Night, some other lesser spren were created sentient (I think it references spren of emotions?), though much of the lesser spren now seen were developed like you said. I don't remember the exact place where it says this.

    I really want this to be true now.

    Luckily, Bartholomew is not just anyone, he is a fish. With legs. Bartholomew chases after you.

    Because of this, jazz became the most popular music form throughout the cosmere.

    "Not yet. We didn't really... I could see those maps you pilfered."

    Exactly my point. The majority of Shards settled on planets that already existed. I think the Scar was created by Ado, not a Shard.
