    One of my favorite quotes from Lopen in this book: “Tonight,” Lopen said, finger to the air, “I will be victorious. It is said you should never bet against the one-armed Herdazian in a drinking contest" Just because it reminds me of And because of this from now on I will read Lopen parts in my best Wallace Shawn impersonation.

    The favorite saying in our house around Christmas with the kids is: "I'm the Real Santa Claus" that way we can always believe in Santa and have arguments on who is the real Santa Claus

    A very informative video on the mullet: Mullet video

    Every time I read this quote, it makes me think not about self confidence but about the appearance of self confidence. The illusion! I think the most important lesson pointed to here is not honesty or self confidence but rather quite the opposite. Light weavers create lies, and Jasnah pretty much tells her that power comes not only from within but rather how people perceive. This is a very important lesson whose other surgebinding power is the creation of lies,err I am mean illusions.

    What do you think will be Jasnah's most important lesson for Shallan? 1) The voidbringer writings she worked so hard on? 2) Lessons about Shadesmare? 3) Soulcasting? 4) Something else? I think her most important lesson is summed up from this quote in chapter 1: Jasnah even says its the most important lesson, more important than soulcasting. This quote is very foreshadowing, not only because it is important for Shallan to stand up for herself and face her dark past, but also because talks about illusion even before we know she is a light weaver, or what light weaving really is.

    Look a special machine has been invented for reading WoR. Not only must you pay for the book but you must also buy the page turner .

    If we go with the theory that Szeth surge binds because he has an honor blade, we know that Szeth must also inhale to become infused so this really does not answer that they have a true surge binder or an honor blade wielder. I have to agree with Quantum that if Shen were a spy he would have by the time (minimum of 2 platue runs after Bridge 4 found out about his surege binding) of the interlude reported that Kaladin was a true surge binder. So in my humble opinion Shen is here to teach both Humans and Listeners alike that Listeners can assume new safe forms. Jasnah is right that the listeners can be the voidbringers, but so can humans. But not every Listener is going to be Evil, just those that choose or are tricked into assuming those types of forms, just like humans choose through their free will.

    I think he should do this every night and stick him someplace new every time. Think about it, everytime Amaram wakes up he has a totally new and different view of the world, torture...

    Link to old thread about this here.

    Based on the quote he never lied about how he got the shards he only tells half the truth. Maybe he will attract a cryptic
  11. Scrutiny
    From this quote This definitely supports the theory that Szeth carries an honor blade. Does this also mean that Heralds cannot surgebind without their blades?
  12. Scrutiny
    Maybe not, maybe by his relationship with Bridge 4 he is on the verge of discovering a new form, friendform?

    From this quote I am theorizing that Adolin is the Roshar incarnate of Wade Boggs!

    I brought lunch today knowing this has been the pattern for the last 2 weeks!

    I think Szeth not having a spren is WoB.

    I am so motivated to down vote thsi right now, but I would want to upvote it when it does become available. I am frustrated....

    Maybe we will get Darkness' point of view, that would be cool. 3 books left in first cycle: Navani, Gavilar, Darkness [edit] forgot Eshonai make that Eshonai, Gavilar, Darkness

    I am sure it will have some use in the story except just a paper weight, BS does not waste words very often. I like the idea of it having an affect on Surgebinders within its vicinity.

    Upvote for awesomeness for taking this theory one step further.

    Based on the latest release of chapter 7 I believe Shallan's flashbacks will be recreated as illusions. Pattern will force her to use her other surge of illumination to show her flashbacks and reveal the hidden truths thus making their bond stronger. The only backup for this theory is when Shallan asked her first memory of him he essentially forces her to start creating an illusion of the time. The setup of a lie spren in these three chapters in is interesting in that the spren finds it interesting to find lies hidden by truth.

    I never used the word emotion, but remember upon the Recreance these blades went dark. There must have been something that made them glow, a spren, or piece of honor? that was no longer there. We now have a powerful yet empty weapon just waiting to host something new, why not a corrupted spren or a piece of odium. The first use of these hollow blades was greed of the humans that first possessed them, couldn't this have opened up these shards for corruption?
  23. Scrutiny
    OK maybe this is far fetched but the original purpose of the shards was to kill voidbringers (creatures of hate) right? And if you look at the way a shardblade kills it literally cuts out the life force of the being it hits. And since the blades we see now are no longer used to kill only void bringers but rather humans and other lives they have become corrupted by that hate. That is why Syl hates them as a creature of honor and despising Odium as well. So maybe the original purpose of KR shards was not to kill the corrupted life force but rather kill the corruption in the soul itself. thus leaving the shell of the human, or parshman or ? alive but kill the corrupting force within it. I do not want to add WoR spoilers to this thread but there are supporting arguments to this on the Front or back cover description about how magic can fill a soul, but couldn't corruption do that as well? Just a theory but....

    Could the shard blades be formed as part of the Nahel bond? This could be why they stopped glowing during the Recreance. As the KR abandoned the shards the spren also abandoned the shard thus it stops glowing and becomes a shard with no spren investiture. An unsponsored blade could be similar to a Parshman that has no form.

    Perhaps he will be dueled by a non-Shard bearer? remember BS does not drop a hint unless he tends to use it. From WoK he says the Kings shards are available for dueling....
