FInally got in! I signed in early and the refresh killed my link when it didn't start right away.

It did for Oathbringer for me, I think.

Just got my link for the virtual event. It’s getting real!

Yikes, fixed!

Turns out, along with art, the Fused are really bad at Jenga.

I got spoiled before I could listen. That's even sadder than the content, as I figured she might have to "die" for Shallan to grow without her. Sometimes I hate fantasy tropes.

One idea is it could be Szeth-related. Perhaps his oathstone is somehow destroyed, and his master killed?

Nope. "Have you given up on the gemstone, now that it is dead? And do you no longer hide behind the name of your old master?" Absolutely no idea what to do with this one, guys. edit: ninja'd. poop.

Either it's glyphs or Renarin became an ardent and is a fast learner.

I am going to have nightmares now, thanks.

I like the idea of this as a "we're watching you" kind of thing. Definitely I got the feeling they will extract vengeance on Kaladin given the chance. This might have been a better thread to post this theory: http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/5956-dawnshards-and-their-relationship-to-the-listeners/#entry95626

That sounds like a possibility. The other thing I considered, after my recent reread, is that it's not the live Parshendi that become the Voidbringers, but their dead. The thing that made me think of it is that they would usually leave their dead on the stone slabs, and the way they defend their dead - you don't want to disturb the vengeful gods. And the kicker would be, that the Alethi war that is decimating the Parshendi would make this the mother of all desolations. (Just a random musing, don't know if anyone has brought this up as a possibility before, and I haven't really fleshed it out as a theory.)

Exactly my plan (and I'm also in Philly!)

All at once? It's like Christmas all over again, but way better.
