So, here's a question I've been wondering. Did Honor break an oath. We know that at the breaking of adonalsium the shards agreed to go their separate ways. But then we see that Honor and Cultivation ended up on Roshar. On top of that, Honor then traps Odium in the same system. Making for 3 shards in the same area. Now I think there is some wiggle room when it comes to trapping odium, and how this can still be construed as honorable and keeping with his promise, but what was his reasoning for sharing the planet with cultivation?

Do we know who was the first shard to be killed? And along with that question, was odium the only one to kill shards or have others succeeded at it? My thought with this last question is whether ambition could be implicated in this. (By the name I imagine it could have unless odium got to it before it had a chance)

In the last chapter when Kenton and Khriss are riding in the carraige it's being led by horses. This should probably be led by a tonk or other in world creature

What if the Larkin is a type of spren? (the cognitave aspect of the reshi island's soul). It would be a wierd spren because it is present in the physical relm more than the other spren are, but what if the reason it came to Rysn was because it was attracted to her actions? What if it bonded with her and thus saved her from the fall by allowing her to draw in stormlight? (cusioning her fall). Again this is speculation that doesn't really have any basis, but what if bonding a Larkin (a super rare spren) is something like Dalinar bonding the storm father? could that make her a bondsmith?

If Elhokar is going to bond a spren it probably wouldn't be a criptic. As I understand it, it is one spren per KR group and the KR are split up by genders. So Elhokar could never be a lightweaver and therefor wouldn't ever bond a criptic.

So I was thinking on the Lift interlude and a thought came to me. It's probably not quite right, but it could be a possible explanation. In this part Wyndle says, "Mother has given up on your kind. I can feel it. She doesn't care any longer. Now that He's gone..." Now my first thought was that He is Honor. But after reading WoR I came to wonder if He is actually the man (bondsmith) that Nightwatcher bonded with. If this were the case then one reason for her strange actions would be that she became broken like all the other spren who broke when the KR broke their oaths. And because bondsmith don't have shard blades we get a broken spren who gives strange blessings and even weirder curses.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I saw that a lot of people said that Jasna soulcasted herself and this allowed her to stay alive. I was thinking that Stormlight probably healed her and then she elsecalled somewhere else. Along these lines, in WoK we saw what we supposed was Jasna using soulcasting to kill men, but as we found from Shallan's great failure to produce fire, it would be extreemly difficult for Jasna to have soulcasted men into smoke. So what if she actually elsecalled them somewhere? The lightning that struck the men would not have been the evidence of soulcasting, but of Jasna's elsecalling. I'm still new to this site, so if this has already been discussed or there are lots of problems with it let me know so I can better understand. Thanks

Hi I'm new and I started a reread of Way of Kings and I found something that I thought was interesting. I noticed it because I thought I read somewhere that Hoid wasn't the only character that is common to Brandon's books. Here's the lines (p. 11): A man with a long grey and black beard slumped in the doorway, smiling foolishly--though whether from wine or a weak mind, Szeth could not tell. "Have you seen me?" the man asked I just thought that it was weird that there would be a random man that has a speaking part with no other purpose in the book. Then as a read further I realized that it could also maybe be one of the Heralds (who says they aren't immortal?) (p. 12) He counted off each one, and realized there were only nine here. One was conspicuously missing. Why had Shalash's statue been removed? This could be what the man meant when he asked Szeth the question--his statue is missing. Obviously I could just be reading too deep into this, but it was a fun thought so I wanted to share it.
