Yes he deserved to die. There is no misunderstanding about that. The disagreement comes from the way the murder was committed. And that's really just about opinion.

The resentment may come later. But the initial reaction will be happiness. Seeing their son again who they assumed was dead/they would never get to see.

I hope the spren is one of orders that Adolin can keep the oaths.

I can see Dalinar reforging Honour and someone else picking it up.

I think they'll be happy to see him. They haven't seen kaladin in so long. Also they already know about Tien. Kaladin informed them and then got hard core into training.

When Nightblood is unsheathed, he absorbs investiture. That includes the very spark of life within a person. So he would kill a person if they ran out of Stormlight.

First chapter Epigraph in Hero of Ages: Later on in the book (Chapter 31) Sazed says:

Sorry I meant Gavilar not Dalinar. Mr. T says that Gavilar confided in him about his visions. And while fighting Szeth, he wonders who couldve sent the assassin. One of the names he comes up with is Restares. He is also mentioned by Dalinar as someone very important in Alethi politics.

I really doubt Renarin is the traitor. Every shard we have seen so far in the cosmere has some form of precognition. So attributing all forms of precognition to Odium. Brandon has also said that humans bonding to void spren is very difficult.

Brandon has said that Light and Breath are fairly similar forms of investiture. It's also heavily implied that Vasher can consume some amount of Light instead of Breath to live. The same is implied for Nightblood. Although Brandon has said mixing magic systems does funky things. I'm curious as to whether this counts as mixing magic.

Dalinar knows both Mr T and Restares personally. So it is extremely unlikely that they are the same person unless Restares was killed and replaced to take control of the SoH.

It hasn't been explicitly stated what will happen to the parshendi/parshmen with the everstorm. I got the feeling that the void spren would forcefully convert anyone that was outside during an everstorm.

But then there would be no boon. I agree with name_here. Mr T was given the capacity. Whether he was actually able to follow through with it and do what needed to be done is to be seen.

The Skybreakers shattering Natanatan seems like a possible theory. They may even be the traitors. But the order in hiding described in very specific words. Subterfuge is a word that does not describe the Skybreakers. Windrunners, Stonewards and Skybreakers are the least capable of subterfuge. Unless of course their spren or Nahel bond was corrupted. We have no evidence of it though.

Hello. Would you like to destroy some evil?

Nice catch! I was wondering where the Kholinar Oathgate was located.

She's obviously gotta be a stoneward. No one else can stand his ugly mug for very long.

This is also one of at least 2 references to humanity's escape/expulsion to Roshar. No one in world seems to get it though.

Wildest theory of them all! Teft is seeing someone and is too shy to tell everyone else!

True but I doubt Cultivation is as focused on doing the Honourable thing. If it saves the human race, whether it's despicable or not, I doubt she cares all that much.

Dyring and name_here: The Nightwatcher is said to be fairly straight forward. One boon and one curse. She doesn't twist words. If Mr T asked for the capacity to save the world, that's what he got. Whether it's the Diagram or his Compassion, is up for debate.

Humans are most probably not native to Roshar. Their physiology is very different and they even have myths that say that they were kicked off their planet and sent/escaped to Roshar. You are right. I was falling asleep while writing this. There could be other explanations for the parshendi. They could have evolved naturally. I'm disinclined to believe that based on what we have seen of the rest of the cosmere. We have yet to see a naturally evolved sentient species. Even if the parshendi did naturally evolve on Roshar, I'd argue Adonalsium had something to do with their sentience. Perhaps they first bonded to Adonalsium spren to gain sentience. *I'm all for naturally evolving sentient species, and Brandon is known to throw all kinds of opposing beliefs into his books, so it's a possibility. We just haven't got any evidence to support it is possible in the cosmere.

Kaladin doesn't mention that. He says that Amaram murdered his friends and stole from him. He never mentioned the shards. Shallan has no reason to even suspect it.

Unlikely. We have yet to see an exact name given to 2 different people. Vorin tradition seems to be to base the name of a person on something but the name itself will be different. I don't see Dalinar's wife being named the same thing as a star.

I can see some of what you're trying to say. If spren of the same type were referred to as a singular then that epigraph would make sense. In the same way you would say "their family was understood to be..." And I can see that happening. Spren don't seem as individualistic as humans. Perhaps all Honourspren are similar to Syl in personality. Your theory: from the letter written to Hoid, the author makes it seem like Odium has been contained in Greater Roshar for the past 4 millennia. That would imply either constant meddling by Odium (Stormfather responsibilities) or that he has been stuck. It makes more sense if the Bondsmith somehow made the Oathpact more binding, forcing Odium to be unable to leave.
