Oh really? Cool! Herald-spotting is definitely pretty fun. Especially since their names vary so much with time, nation, and language. It keeps you guessing!

And guess what? His is eternal (:November 25, 2023 at 12:38 pm #166829So the weird thing is, Brandon Sanderson confirmed that Renarin is the first person to bond a corrupt spren. It seems to be implied that his future sight is only because of the corruption, and not a normal Truthwatcher ability. But then what is going on with this ancient Truthwatcher? If he isn’t corrupted, then is future sight a normal Truthwatcher power? The full message doesn’t seem to support this, because the Truthwatcher seems to not want anyone else to know.
Yeah, I don’t know. Something I was thinking was that each of the unmade was an analogue to one of the orders, like the Midnight Mother being able to mimic lightweavings ability to replicate things, only in a different and corrupt way. Perhaps the Revel could be after the Edgedancers? I don’t know, do you know if this is confirmed or not? If this is the case, then it would make sense that the unmade that causes death babbling to have a radiant counterpart that may have future telling abilities in some form.
My personal speculation is that ‘you’ refers not to Honor, but to Adonalsium, and that ‘we’ refers to all the Shards. That would imply that Dalinar was somehow closer to becoming Adonalsium or something than anyone has before. That seems a bit strange, since he isn’t even in possession of a single entire Shard. Not sure if this theory has any merit, but I think there must be something significant about that line.
That is an interesting theory. What intrigues me about that is what you said earlier about the four groups, and one of them is believed to be Unity (is this the confirmed one?). Dalinar in his moments of Ascension didn’t say “I am Honor”, but “I am Unity”. If Dalinar somehow took charge in that moment of four shards worth of investiture, that would greatly support that idea.
He is perfect in Justice, yet He is perfect in Mercy, even when we fail Him. For this, He is good.
November 25, 2023 at 2:23 pm #166841There are only nine unmade, however, and ten orders. That doesn’t disprove your theory though, especially considering something you’ll learn early in RoW. That is an interesting observation. I didn’t think about that. Perhaps there is a tenth spren that never became an Unmade.
Unity is not the confirmed one, but you’ll find out which one is if you read Stormlight 3.5.

Really, interesting. That’s the one my sister is reading next I believe, while I start Elantris, then we’ll swap.

November 25, 2023 at 3:00 pm #166857Yeah, Dawnshard is the book (although I haven’t read it heh heh. I just don’t really care about spoilers from the Stormlight novellas) that gives the most information about the organizational aspects of the Shards. Even there there isn’t that much. Most of what we know isn’t stated, but can be deduced from that book and things Brandon Sanderson has said. There might be some information in Secret Project 4 as well, but I’m not sure.
