    Gadris looked around. Pools of light radiating power surrounded the 16. Black. White. Gold. Each pool seemed to be drawing in each one of the 16, and he was no different. A pool of shimmering crimson light urged him nearer. He could feel the power calling to him. In a semi-trance he approached the pool.

    The abolishing of duels seems like a good thing in my opinion. Roshar is moving in a more civilized direction where disputes can be settled legally and peacefully rather than whipping out a pointy stick and plunging it into the other fellow who wronged you. Here in America I’d say our society is a lot better off because dueling was outlawed. People no longer kill each other during disagreements and I’d imagine this will be similar for Roshar. Jasnah’s new legal system will have flaws, that’s inevitable. However on the whole it’s designed to right wrongs and solve issues in a just and peaceful manner. A world in which verbal disputation, rather than physical violence reigns as arbiter seems a much better place. Jasnah is not working off elitism, she’s genuinely trying to make a better world for everyone. I disagree that it’s messed up to take away Alethi children’s weapons and replace them with pens and paper. Children shouldn’t be taught to war from a young age. I agree that just because something is modern doesn’t mean it’s automatically better, but that’s not what’s going on here. We’ve seen how this current system fails: Listeners are enslaved and thought of less than human, Alethi pillage and murder for “honor”, there’s a clear class system with darkeyes being treated as lesser than lighteyes. You mentioned the example of dueling being a cleaner way of solving disputes that allowed darkeyes to be on the same level as lighteyes but that’s just not true. Moash was frustrated because he couldn’t duel Elhokar due to his rank and when Kaladin tried to challenge Amaram he was immediately imprisoned. Roshar’s current system is in many ways simpler and has positive attributes, but it is also deeply flawed, brutal, and unjust. I agree that Jasnah has deep intentional character flaws, but they are being adressed as wrong and her actions have helped the people of Roshar who are oppressed under the current system. With her undergoing more character growth coupled with the good she’s done now, I think it’s safe to say Roshar is in good hands.

    You did… although in your defense you would have no way of knowing there’s no hints, some Polish fellow figured it out at random, asked Brandon, and he confirmed it. Near the beginning, it’s Lemex’s nurse Uhh… Riina?

    This is quite a bleak take from fantasy tacos lol WAT and TSM spoilers: Roshar is moving into a brand new era away from their negative traits such as slavery and warmongering. The Kholins are the main forces behind that (Jasnah freeing all Listeners in RoW and giving them their own legally recognized land in WaT, Navani turning the fabrial-spren relationship symbiotic instead of slavery, Renarin doing away with monarchs and establishing democracy, etc). Doing something like that really isn’t in character with the modern Rosharans. Scadrial will change, but for the better. It’ll have more cultures than ever before rather than fewer. There are other things about this too (like the fact Scadrians have airships, skyscrapers, and firearms, while the Rosharans have swords, shields, and floating planks of wood or future Scadrians being shown going strong with spaceships and technology in The Sunlit Man) but the main reason I don’t think this will happen is Brandon Sanderson himself. At the end of the day the Cosmere is a hopeful tale. There’s plenty of trauma and dark points along the way but it’s not a grimdark world. At the end of the day, the heroes are victorious, society progresses away from its more negative aspects, characters grow, develop, and redeem themselves, and good triumphs in the end. The Cosmere is about progress, redemption, and nuance and I believe we’re headed for a better, multicultural Scadrial, not an enslaved one.
