    I personally think Jasnah knows a bit more about Wit than the average Rosharan. Wandersail was a sort of parallel to Szeth's life: Killing as long as he had something to blame it on, until he realized that he shouldn't be Truthless. I could see "The Girl who Stole God's light" to be a parallel of Lift in the same way. Personally that was my first thought too.

    I'm of the opinion that Odium and Autonomy are working together. Timeline as follows: Odium was involved in splintering Aona and Skai, the holders of Devotion and Dominion. (The Letter) Shards come in pairs, but not all of them are as nicely paired as Ruin and Preservation. It makes sense to me that Odium's opposite is Devotion (part of Devotion is love, part of Odium is hate), and the opposite of Autonomy is Dominion (Autonomy is freedom, Dominion is control). Rayse enlists Bavadin's help in splintering Aona and Skai (my own little assumption. WoB says Odium would be willing to work with other Shard's as long as he were in charge. Autonomy wouldn't like being ruled, but if it followed his intent of freeing people, and killing his opposite, I could see him doing it). Fast forward to after Stormlight five. I could see Odium breaking free of the system in which he's trapped (letter) and going after the one he fears most (WoB), Harmony, while enlisting once again the help of an old comrade, Autonomy (theory). This is why Bleeder was hateful, and looking to free people. At least that's my little theory.

    Wayne and MeLaan together anyone?
  4. Khyrindor
    I looked and can't find the WoB, so I might have mis-remembered. I still think it's likely, however.
  5. Khyrindor
    I think a WoB said that she was trapped accidentally but he used the circumstance to find out if Jasnah was a Radiant.
  6. Khyrindor
    I found this so it does seem like you are correct in saying there were KR before the splintering. What happened to the remaining power of Honor in that case? More spren? The Shadow of the Almighty?
  7. Khyrindor
    There was a WoB that said he was just visiting friends, I don't think he considered anything to be of utmost importance there.

    I think it was basically confirmed that Devotion and Dominion were splintered in the Cognitive Realm, so you can only access their power locally where it lines up. Most Shards dwell in the Spiritual Realm and so you can access their power everywhere. Sel lacks that, so if you get too far away from the buildup of power on the Cognitive side of things, the power gets weaker. Brandon has said that you can't use their power on other planets. "Can't" sounding definite. I agree with Voidus that Galladon just lost his powers while of world and appeared normal.

    Do you have a source for this? I find that unlikely. Syl at some point tells Kaladin that she "Is a god, a tiny piece of one" which seems to evidence that honor shattered and she is one of the pieces. I know that there were spren that existed before the splintering, but I do not think that means that Radiant spren existed before. How else could that have worked?

    In Alloy of Law luck had nothing do do with it, he was just visiting his friends on their wedding. In Way of King he runs off to find Taln and then Jasnah. All of a sudden he had a sense that he had to be somewhere but didn't know why, which he actually did say.

    Seons and spren and Skaze weren't splintered purposefully by their Shard, their Shard was murdered. Endowment and her Divine Breaths are a special case because this is purposeful splintering. The sentience from the seons and spren happen because they are what is left over from their Shard's consciousness. If Honor made the Honorblades before he was splintered, then he bypassed the sentience rule in the same way that Endowment did.
  12. Khyrindor
    When you finish a Stormlight reread and have nothing do do with your life, so even though you are bad at drawing, you try to draw all the Shardblades.
  13. Khyrindor
    Shards can directly splinter part of themselves in order to Invest. This is What Endowment does with the Diving Breaths, and what I'm presuming Honor did in creating the Honorblades.
  14. Khyrindor
    Yata, I'm more of the opinion that cuiscesh is Adonalsium spren, and the rest of them are just a natural part of the cognitive realm seeping into reality. Listeners can bond them to get forms, like I mentioned with creationsren on my other thread.
  15. Khyrindor
    Alright, good point there. Maybe it was an inworld name for something familiar, and therefore inaccurate? I don't know. Why and how can you suppose that Flamespren are Adonalsium spren?
  16. Khyrindor
    Vin is a Sliver, maybe that is part of the residual effects.
  17. Khyrindor
    The stormspren were just that, stormspren. Listeners can bond all sorts of spren for different forms. I think, as an example, they bond creationspren for art form, yes? I think that each spren is on a line somewhere between Odium, Cultivation and Honor, so perhaps the stormspren just come from Odium, whereas, if my theory is true, deathspren come right from the Unmade. Perhaps the deathspren are an Unmade on their own and aren't even related to Moelach. As we've already clarified, each spren can be invisible or visible depending on type, so really the fact that Syl can't see other's deathspren doesn't disprove my theory. For all we know, she could only see Kaladin's because of the bond.
  18. Khyrindor
    Oh look, someone necro'd my thread. I no longer think that the Honorblades came from Adonalsium, they were probably instead Honor and Cultivations first Investment for fighting Odium. Tanavast's Shadow mentions that the spren surprised him and copied the Herald's and their Shardblades. Also, the name Shardblade undoubtedly points to a Shard Investing, and Adonalsium was not a Shard. Now, the Dawnshards however...Those I could believe were Adonalsium spren, but we have almost no information on them yet.
  19. Khyrindor
    Apologies if this has been said before, but I think I made a minor connection. It is theorized that Moelach, one of the Unmade feeds off of the Investiture of the dying in a given area, in order to glimpse the future. The Death Rattles are a side effect of this. Taravangian only mentions that Moelach causes the Death Rattles, but the rest hasn't been confirmed unless I missed something, I just consider it likely. EDIT: Found this epigraph that I'd forgotten: Words of Radiance chapter 82, page 986, Hardback. Emphasis mine. So, Deathspren. My little theory here is that Deathspren are what Moelach uses to feed of of the Investiture of the dying. It would explain why Syl was fighting them off when Kaladin was near death in Way of Kings, and why only the dying can see them. They are special spren that form a temporary bond with someone who is dying, and I would even go so far as to saying that they are of Odium, since the Unmade probably are. People besides Kaladin cannot see Syl unless she wants to be seen (except people who are more sensitive to the Cognitive Realm like the Listeners and the Unkalaki), so it would make sense that Odium has similar spren. One possible chink in this is that other people could see Pattern no problem, so not all of Honor/Cultivation spren are invisible. Thoughts?

    Here's my collection. All signed. This is also the order I would suggest reading the Cosmere books (put Shadows for Silence with First of the sun after WoR). Also, my Unfettered is signed my both Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss.

    Magic overrides physics, so I assume when the powers were made, the Shards decided that how things were stored would not be detrimental to the feruchemist.
  22. Khyrindor
    Vasher and the other scholars made nightblood as an imitation Shardblade. Just in case you didnt know that. Theres a WoB
  23. Khyrindor
    Yes, that's true, but what I'm saying is Hoid is the one affecting others, but his feruchemy doesn't directly affect their proverbial die rolls. Ta'veren are forced into things by the Pattern, yes, but they also pull other's threads around them, completely changing the way the wheel weaves them. Hoid does not have this power directly that we know of, certainly not with feruchemy, he merely is lead by it, and what he chooses to do affects them in any way a normal person would affect another. I do realize you were drawing a parallel, and didn't meant to play know-it-all, upvote for you for making me smile in memories of WoT.
  24. Khyrindor
    Yeah but the world didn't end (yenno, except Alderaan). I dunno. It hurt me when they died too, but I understand it as a literary device. She doesn't think that way though, but that's ok.
  25. Khyrindor
    Nah see, ta'veren does affect other people. Hoid, presumably using "luck", can only throw himself into the Pattern, but with urges from his feruchemy to nudge him in a more favourable manner. Something like directing him to places of importance. Hoid himself does the rest with his awesomeness.
