    For some reason, I haven't seen this pop up yet. It seems obvious. With Sadeas' death, I think Amaram rises to fill his place as highprince. He was already the second most powerful lighteyes in his realm, and Sadeas mentions having an understanding with him. I think he is Sadeas' heir. That will certainly put a damper on any attempt to prosecute Amaram for killing Kaladin's men and stealing his Shards.

    Man, there are a lot of lunatics on this board. Obviously Adolin did the right thing. Sadeas was an enemy who foolishly put himself in a vulnerable position, so Adolin capitalized. Good show. He even had the presence of mind to minimize the evidence. Compare this to Sadeas' betrayal. He pretended to friendship and loyalty to his old ally, only to stab him in the back. He got thousands of men killed and still managed to fail to finish Dalinar.

    Nalan's true name is obviously Nale. Szeth says he is called that in the East and the Vorin church wouldn't invent an asymmetry like that.

    Or he decided to stop banging his wife once he had a male heir. Maybe he was unfaithful... with dudes. I'm just saying that it's a possibility.

    Drehy the bridgeman is gay, according to WoB. It's just never come up in the story because it hasn't been important. Navani liked Gavilar. If she knew he was intent on bringing back the Voidbringers, then she wouldn't say that. It has to have been something not horrible but also something that isolated them from each other. I don't know; I still think it's more likely than her knowing about his Sons of Honor activity.

    Hoid's penpal. Hoid calls him an old reptile, and Brandon confirmed that he was a dragon from Dragonsteel.

    The old songs name damnation Braize, and their Heralds are non-Rosharan, so yeah. I like this find.

    This is my reading of why Navani liked, but didn't love, Gavilar. From what we've seen he was a good hearted man determined to forge the Alethi into a kingdom that would resist the desolation. But he "wasn't who people thought he was". Maybe Navani knew more of the Sons of Honor than she has let on, but I have a hunch that Gavilar wasn't straight. He had a very close relationship with the conspicuously single Amaram.

    This is a good point. The Words of Radiance epigraphs are intentionally strange in their phrasing, to give the feeling of being archaic I suppose.

    He knew,but couldn't use it. This was the same reason that TLR didn't identify duralumin mistings; he didn't want to give Ruin people to spike.

    I think it's pretty clear that she was back because he was back to following his oaths. He decided to protect Elhokar when he couldn't protect himself. He decided to put means over ends, aka journey before destination. Syl was only as dead as Kaladin's oaths. His oaths returned before he spoke the third Ideal.

    I was under the impression that the Ghostbloods and the followers of the Diagram are the same organization, but Gavikar's words as he dies do put a damper on that. Hmmm...

    The point of this thread is that fabrials use enslaved spren, or at least are created using enslaved spren, and how that relates to the nature of Shardplate. EDIT: Also that thread is in the main Stormlight forum and thus should be thoroughly spoiler tagged. This forum allows us to ignore that.
  15. Quazar87
    According to Hoid in the Ars Arcanum: "I am more and more convinced that the creation of these devices [fabrials] requires forced enslavement of transformative cognitive entities, known as “spren” to the local communities." Now we know that touching Shardplate does not cause the Nahel bonded to hear screaming, so they aren't dead spren. We also know that the ancients, at least the Radiants, had fabrials of some kind. The Oathgates operate like fabrials and Nale used the KR Regrowth fabrial on Szeth. Shardplate has gemstones in it that must be "fed" stormlight to repair it. They seem to operate the same way. But would spren, particularly honorspren, be ok with imprisoning their compatriots? Do you guys think there is a major difference between the "fabrials" of old and the modern fabrials? Something to ponder.

    The Herald Nale believes that Surgebinding will lead to Odium's return and the destruction of the world. Yes, he's gone a bit crazy, but what if he was right? Maybe the Radiants abandoned their oaths to give the world the last 4 millenia? EDIT: I see Moogle beat me to the punch. I think that's good though, now we have 2 independent hunches toward the same thing.

    Note how Taln can catch darts with his bare hands while being without his blade and mostly insane. I think Heralds have a lot of power independent from their blades, but related to it.
  18. Quazar87
    I would actually contend that Nightblood is a great deal like a Shardblade. Rather than a Cognitive entity in the Physical Realm, he's a Physical entity with a strong Cognitive aspect. He drains investiture with use, like an Honorblade.
  19. Quazar87
    Note, it's not really stormlight fuelling modern fabrials. See the ars arcanum in WoR.

    The Ars Arcanum says the following in my ebook: Cohesion: The Surge of Strong Axial Interconnection Tension: The Surge of Soft Axial Interconnection Perhaps this is intentional, but from Brandon's descriptions at signings I was under the impression Cohesion allows Surgebinders to alter materials to make them malleable, etc., while Tension allows them to make loose materials firm. I may be misunderstanding what is meant by "Axial Interconnection" but I just wanted to head off Brass Feruchemy level error. Just in case.
  21. Quazar87
    Excellent job with the confirmation. That means the Surge listing in the Ars Arcanum is definitely in order. Now I don't have to change the Excel sheet I made documenting the Rule of 10.
  22. Quazar87
    Bondsmiths don't fly. You're thinking of the Skybreakers.
  23. Quazar87
    Divide it by Order or divide it by Surge, heck divide it by both with duplicate info. But don't combine the entire magic system into one article. That defeats the the entire point of having a wiki format.
  24. Quazar87
    I like it. Renarin can see (Illumination) what things will change (Progression). Jasnah can Soulcast (Transformation) at a distance (Transporation). Also, Shallan can make her illusions tangible. That made be simply a measure of her growing as a Radiant by speaking Truth, but it could also combine her Illumination with Transformation. With Division and Abrasion, I'm sure the Dustbringers can walk right through walls like they came with Radiant shaped holes.
  25. Quazar87
    It would be the same as making mega-articles detailing feruchemistry, hemalurgy, and allomancy. There are TEN Surges with plenty of complicated uses. Look at Illumination, it allows Shallan to make sorts of illusions doing many different things and also somehow grants Renarin future sight. And Soulcasting! We're really going to merge all the complexity of that into a single article with the Surges? What's the point of a wiki format?
