    Not necessarily. I mean, he talks about the jobs of the various Heralds, which is something any of them would know, and he has a lot of internal monologue about being tortured in Damnation, but that's again something all of the Heralds have experienced, albeit not as recently as Taln. The whole "needing to implant memories" thing is really only a problem if fake-Taln isn't a Herald themself, which is part of why I like the idea of it being Jezrien.

    We have WOB that Hoid didn't switch the Blades, but do we have any reason to think he didn't switch the person? Maybe Hoid found a delusional Jezrien and switched him for Taln? Though why he would do this is something of a mystery... I do like the theory that the person in the monastery is Jezrien if it isn't Taln, though.

    Shallan/Wit. Because she hugged him and he didn't know what to do with himself and it was adorable and more things like this should happen.

    Everything already mentioned (particularly the Shalladin stuff), plus: "'They told me I was a liar!' the assassin screamed. 'They told me I was wrong! Szeth-son-son-Vallano... Truthless. They named me TRUTHLESS!'" My heart breaks every time I read this. Poor Szeth... someone needs to give him hugs in book 3. And get him away from Nalan. and then he and Dalinar can have a long chat about atoning for past sins by doing good things now.

    No, not mean at all. That's what my uncle's doing. He's only a few chapters into WOR right now, but I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks of the Nightblood reveal.

    Unfortunately, I don't know how to put in spoilers. I'd be happy to edit in a spoiler tag if you tell me how, though. And Aleksiel said which is what I was responding to when talking about the romance taking up a lot of time. I had thought it was multiple people who said that, but apparently I had misremembered. And it could still count (to me at least) as a love triangle if Kaladin and Shallan continue to think about each other's attractiveness while they're apart, even if they don't have any real romantic interaction until after she breaks up with Adolin.

    In response to the people complaining about Kaladin/Shallan eating up too much time since they're the two biggest POVs, I don't think that would happen. Mistborn Spoilers

    "Peoples" is the correct word if you are referring to more than one group of people, like here, where he's talking about (presumably) honorspren, Cryptics, highspren, Wyndle-spren, etc. And I think "majorities" is also correct, to imply that it's a majority of each of the separate groups rather than all the members of most of the groups. Hope this makes sense.

    Maybe if it wasn't bonded, you could link the gem in the hilt the the spanreed-style stick? I don't think that gem does anything except bond people to the blades, so it might not be invested.
  10. Terra of Roshar
    One of the names of Damnation is mentioned as Braize. I can't find the quote, though.

    -Nightblood -Shallan and Kaladin -Kaladin can fly -Pattern -Poor, poor Eshonai -The only thing I want in life is for someone to steal Taln back and give him a hug. The man needs a hug. -I was so mad at Kaladin when Syl left. SO. F*CKING MAD. -I was really worried about Jasnah from speculation about chapter 7, but once I actually read it, i knew she was fine and proceeded to spend the rest of the book worrying about more important things. -I can no longer keep track of the many secret societies and my feelings towards them. I'll need to reread to sort it out... -Did I mention that SZETH HAS NIGHTBLOOD?!?!?! (seriously. this is a big deal. possibly the biggest deal in the whole book) Also, picking out all the various Glimpses was very amusing.

    People have interpreted the glimpse about Dalinar holding one of his sons as implying that either Renarin or Adolin dies. This glimpse of Adolin freaking out and running towards a body implies that someone he cares about greatly has died or been severely injured. Renarin and Dalinar are the two characters who are currently most likely to elicit such a response from him. Putting the two together, it seems likely that something happens to Renarin (though I subscribe to the theory that Renarin just collapses after doing something awesome with his theoretical Skybreaker powers). And Feather is a member of the forums who's well known for her fondness for Renarin.

    That is the same. In the US, we write dates month-day-year, so 03-04-2014 is March 4.
  14. Terra of Roshar
    Yeah, my first thought was that it was either a shipwreck in Chapter 7 or a trip to Shadesmar. Either way, it's almost certainly Shallan. Edit: Ooh, yes. Maybe a new form? This is how they change forms? So many possibilities if it's Eshonai...
  15. Terra of Roshar
    This.

    Not quite. She's 34, he's 19 (or is he 20 now? Not sure when his birthday is, but it has to be soon if it hasn't already passed), so it's a 15-year difference. That's less than Breeze and Allrianne from Mistborn, who had more like a 20-25 year difference. Breeze might actually have been more than twice Allrianne's age. Nitpicky, I know, but the difference in the way some people see the two situations has always bugged me.

    I always thought the vision took place in the direct aftermath of a Desolation. My mental timeline was Alakavish starts a war -> lots of people die -> Desolation starts -> lots more people die -> they win with the Heralds' help -> the Heralds leave -> a day of two later, Nohadon and his advisor have their little talk. It can't be too long after the Desolation, since there are Thunderclast corpses littering the city. I read the line about the Heralds returning as implying they had already left after the Desolation, not that they hadn't been there at the beginning of it. Edit: Ninja'd by WitSpren

    I don't know if that's the worst, per se. After all, it would be Awesomely bad. (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
  19. Terra of Roshar
    Spheres can talk? Is this maybe the "voidsphere" that Gavilar gave Szeth? or one of the spheres in Shadesmar? Also Pattern sounds adorable.
  20. Terra of Roshar
    Are you guys taking the week off school/work to do this? Because I'm also doing a whole-cosmere reread in preparation for WOR, but I started like 3 weeks ago to leave time for homework. Also, WOK in one day? And not on the weekend? You have skills if you can pull that off.
  21. Terra of Roshar
    I always assumed the fortress was more metaphorical: Roshar needs to get its collective sh*t together and prepare to defend themselves from the Voidbringers, or else they'll all die in the Final Desolation (the Everstorm).
  22. Terra of Roshar
    It wasn't an epigraph, it was the Nohadon vision. There is no mention of Voidbringers in the vision, either, but this was from before the KR were founded so I'm not sure if that does anything for the theory.
  23. Terra of Roshar
    Someone making fun of Renarin? Shallan teasing him? Someone acting very flippant in the presence of a thunderclast?
  24. Terra of Roshar
    My first thought was "Oh my god, Adolin or Renarin dies! , shortly followed by "Wait, they wouldn't put such a spoilery thing in these. " Of course, then there's the argument that they would know we'd think that, and one of the Kholins could actually be dead... I have a tendency to overthink things. I do like the idea of Renarin passing out after doing awesome Skybreaker things, though.
  25. Terra of Roshar
    Could it be something to do with Stone Shamanism? That has "stone" in it as much as "Stoneward." Or maybe something from the Old Magic? The curses all seem to be neurological, but there was a mention in the Baxil Interlude of someone getting cloth as their blessing, so the blessings don't have to be mental. Maybe the woman asked for defensive capabilities, and this was the result? Or perhaps one of the Aimian races can do this? I honestly have no idea what's going on here, but these were some things I thought of that hadn't been mentioned.
