oi. How am I just now seeing this? I've read ALL 6 books, yes, including Murtagh. The 1st 4 I've read a serious number of times Inheritance 22 times! I'm on the 2nd round for Murtagh. Let's see how well I do on these questions. lol. I think the Tree took his ability to conceive.

I really want to see Unity as a full Shard. The idea of that character becoming a shard would be awesome

We need a dwarf rider, urgal rider....or both

Love all your theory vids.

Solid theory. Love the pointed foil cap. Keep the cosmere vids coming, i just subbed

Bro you have good videos, but the music is jarrrrrring and too loud

I find Stormlight one of the most overrated series i have ever read. The prose is average compared to Asoiaf or even just the worldbuilding. Its too artificial compared to Asoiaf and lotr. Characters in stormlight tend to be a lot similar or the same where as in asoiaf probably has the best cast in fantasy series. Stormlight is just marvel or superhero-esque book series which i find childish. To each their own but i tend to like reading stories that are convincing unlike stormlight. Asoiaf is more complex and the better written series imo. I like the magic system Brandon invented but other than that. His series tell more than they show. His humor, dialogue and romance are his weakness. Dialogue in asoiaf is probably the best in fantasy. George also knows how to write witty humor unlike sanderson and also knows how to write romance. Lmao. Do with this information as you will. Im not going to accept asoiaf slander by a series that just has marvel superheroes.

Just found your channel. I'm so happy lmao

Ehhhh. Some aspects of this make sense, but Dawnshards seem pretty darn rare. We already know that there is a Dawnshard other than the hypothesized "unity". Two seems like a lot. But I am quite sure that Raize was at least somewhat concerned about the reconstitution of Honor, and such an event would possibly point to some revelation about the shattering of Adonalsium.

Bro if Shallan was inadvertently responsible for the Final Desolation by killing her mom and she LEARNS this? Her mental will delete itself completely lmao, we're gonna get like an avengers squad of new Veils 🤣

I think you’re getting warm on a lot of things. Only edits I would make is Honor being reforged later. I think SA5 will result in Kaladin dying but not before filling Jezrien’s position in a new Oathpact.

Honour Lives in the Hearts of Men. Honour was splintered into the spiritual realm whereby they are caught in the spiritwebs of humans.

Very interesting theory

I like the theory, I think instead of conquest the name Glory is much more fitting and adds a lot of callouts on a reread

These theories are so awesome! The transitions are super cool cool. Yhanks for the info dump!

The Dawnshards are all verbs/action words

My man cooked up something wild

I've always thought that Honor will be reforged when the ten Honor blades are "united". I think unite them refers to the blades explicitly

great video and great quality content. subbed

I am more and more on the side of Lirin taking up honor and the Son of Tanavast thing for Kaladin is even more literal that we thought....everything you are saying about Dalinar and the Dawnshard sounds cool and I'm on board with that, just that the vessel is Lirin instead of Kaladin. There are some things about Lirin that others have pointed out to me and there is so much smoke there.

This theory os blowing my mind actually. Falinar loosing and beong turned over to Odium seemed way too hopeless of an ending for the characters, but FINALLY the war light plot gets greater significance. Im so excited to hear more!

Wait, is it tin foil, or is it aluminum foil? This is suspicious.

Really hope Kelsier ends up being a major villain in Stormlight that'll be interesting.

Good recap thanks. I don't think Ishar is trying to fuse people and spren though. I think the organs are a very real side effect of spren physically manifesting in a world they aren't supposed to exist in physically. Yes, as ideas and forces they can interact with the world to a degree, but they don't fully exist there. Pulling them from Shadesmar into the physical world forces them to manifest there and abide by the rules of the physical world, causing the ramshackle biology as a consequence. I think 😂

Im no theorist but got several waves of goosebumps throughout the video😅

I really feel like Dalinar will take up Honor the way Tarivangian took Odium. Theyve been such consistent narrative foils that it feels like a logical next step. Tarivangian has always been a few steps ahead, and so gets his shard sooner and more time to plan, but Dalinar embodies Honor, frankly more than he could have done without his tragic backstory ("bravery is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear" sort of thing, only he inst scared he was a war criminal) and so will take up the mantle during the sanderlanche. I also think Kaladin will be in Stormlight 6 (based on Sunlit Man, but ive done no looking to see if the more clever fans agree), I think Adolin will be champion (the whole "my father thinks im a better man that him" bit plus the chance to overcome something Adolin sees as a great failure of character) and I think Cultivation will finally do something on screen instead of just flashbacks.

I was gonna say my theory is that Dalinar loses the contest, and he becomes Odium's herald and the Stormfather becomes the spren of the Everstorm, but Kaladin rises to become Honor and Syl becomes the new spren of the Highstorm. Just a theory tho

This is a brilliant theory. Shit man

My crack theory is that both Syl and Kal ascend to Honour. We have seen two shards being held by one vessel, and now we will get to see an inverse of that. Or we could have a situation where one of them holds the shard (likely Syl) and the other rides the storms (likely Kal). We have had visions where Kal rides the storms in the first couple of books and there's also the Fleet story. Syl is becoming more human and gaining a stronger physical presence which would help her ascend. This could explain why Sigzil in Sunlit man thinks of Kal as being alive and why he doesn't want to return to face his friends. This would also address the loss of the Storm father in the event that Dalinar loses and the storm father is unmade/destroyed/damaged.

Dalinar will lose the challenge and become Taravodium's champion while Kaladin, the EPITOME of honor, will reforge and mantle the Shard of Honor.

Dalinar can do all these things because he is a Bondsmith unchained by Honor's rules. That is explained by Stormfather multiple times. You even get to see Ishi do the same things and more in RoW.

I like it, but this honestly sounds like the rising action of the second arc rather than the conclusion of the first

As always, well written and very intriguing theories! Favorite quote without spoilers: "He was able to pick up *censored* and shove it into *censored's* vessel." Looking forward to more!

He published it at 15, not 19.

Honestly I have never been able to enjoy anything by Gearge Martin, especially game of thrones. I read the first 2 books and they were just so damned boring and cringey for me. Ive been loving stormlight Archive though. I'm not saying George is a bad writer, he clearly has a massive fan base and has done well. I just mean it's not for me is all. Want to make that clear.

Dude, what’s a “half-cousin”?? 🤨 Murtagh’s mom is Roran’s dad’s sister… That’s just a cousin! 😅 It would be weird if they were cousins on both sides… but, I mean… medieval/fantasy royalty/nobility…? I guess it wouldn’t be entirely an unheard of kind of weird, hahaha 😂 (I totally forgot about Brom’s last 7 words… that was an ominous pothole never explored… I really thought those would have been part of the final fight!?! I forgot about Tenga too!!! I thought that was going to be part of the whole “name of the ancient language” thing… but, then Murtugh just changed his true name and was able to use it and break his oaths… 😑) There were so many plot threads!!! And then, it always just boiled down to these books were just Star Wars plot points layed out over High Fantasy/Dragons… 😢 He was 15 when he plotted these stories, I mean… I get it, it’s the rule of 3 that every Dungeon Master uses to make a campaign plot by combining two subjects with your own spin… but, they were sooo good when I was the same age as he was at the time! LoL

Noting that Cultivation has also seen Lift. And there is just something going on with her and using Lifelight that feels like a set up

I think it is possible but unlikely for book 5. Maybe for book 10 though?

You know who makes far more sense as a counter to Taravodium? Who is really really strict about following his oaths - something Honor is obsessive about? Szeth Son-Son-Vallano

That's an awesome theory, it opens so many fun possibilities for the space age of the Cosmere

Another stormlight Nerd. Love it. Yall are so much better at these deep dives and theory crafting. I cant come up with any of these regardless of how many times I read it. If I didn't have these types of vids to get me by in between books I think id cry.

Spoilers for Sunlit and released chapters of Emberdark: … … … In Sunlit we see Hoid in (presumably) a Kholin(ish) uniform in the Space-age. Which, in the context of your theory, begs the question of what Cultivation is up to and how this inflects (mitigates) the Unity of Honor and Odium. That is, what would her purpose be? Particularly given what we’ve seen of how Cultivation affects the drives of Knights Radiant, and, in Emberdark, we see a KR in the Space-age. Huh. Fascinating.

I like it but seems more likely cultivations influence is the source.

love the theories, even better we wont have to wait too long, ive given up on rothfuss! hello kitty!

Imagine an outright war between Scadriants and Alethi in the space age, wielding Shards and stuff. That would be something.

Cultivation, cultivating her own plans... I like and have had similar thoughts. For some odd reason, I have my doubts about Kaladin becoming honor... I do not even know why. As for Odium... I feel as if Taravangian's goals are different from Rayse, which also makes things crazy. What goals and ambitio s have changed. Figiring ghat out can lead to more answers and I cannot wait for that leadup Brandon gives with Daily chapters. So excited.

Yes cultivation is definetly pulling all the strings here.

Just to add the thing I'm sorta hope will happen but I sorta doubt (particularly 3) 1. Child champion happens and Dalinar loses. 2. Oathpact is gonna be reforged so odium will be bound to roshar 3. Dalinar is still gonna end up as a new version of honour. So due to the above we're gonna have Odium being forced to interact with the rest of the cosmere through honour (so we're gonna have War). Then in some way cultivation is gonna end up on board in some capacity (not sure how but mostly think cause of their shenanigans) which is gonna push it towards conquest. One of the first things we did hear from TOd was a desire to go "save" everyone in the cosmere. This is with a Ralkalest hat though haha.

you really can fix a mans mood, I love your videos

Writing before your Grand Unified Theory at 13:10 . I think the Honor blades are Honor’s body. Dalinar will need to “unite” all 10 into one blade to “reforge” Honor
