I’ve been thinking about the end of Wind and Truth and how the new Oathpact anchors the Heralds’ minds in the Spiritual Realm, where infinite Investiture still exists. If their minds are there now, could their return to Roshar open a connection between the Realms and bring Stormlight back into the world without the highstorms?
On a bigger scale, I’ve been wondering what happens now that Taravangian holds both Honor and Odium as Retribution. Is his goal to keep taking more Shards until he controls them all? If that’s the direction things are heading, will Hoid directly oppose him—or is it possible that Hoid ends up playing a different kind of role in the end, maybe even taking up power himself to stop Taravangian?
Basically, are we seeing the start of all the Shards reuniting—either under someone like Taravangian through domination or under Hoid through balance—and would that truly recreate Adonalsium or something new entirely?
