Wind and Truth Part Two | Shardcast

[@17thShard]

I need you all to know that I find the description of Ba-Ado-Mishram breaking everything to be extremely hot. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. Next episode is Wind and Truth Reactions 1, coming the weekend after release! We'll see when I get I edited, but either the 14th or 15th. -Eric

The reason why Vangie wasn't bound by the same limitations as Rayse was, was because he's still new to his power. It's a sort of similar reason why Vin was able to attack Ati in HoA

[@carl11547]

And thus when Kaladin ascends to Honor .... (Yes, I'm predicting Kaladin.)

[@ELANDRISSAMA]

I love the fact that everyone is getting screwed, and Kaladin is kind of taking a vacation in Shinovar.

[@Rancor9000]

I'm really hoping the "take the capitals" thing is *a* loophole and not *the* loophole, it'd be super lame if that was the big trick Vargodium saw at the end of RoW that we've been teasing all these years.

[@SteeIdancer]

Wow, what a cool guy in the bottom right, he has excellent opinions

[@oneukum]

1:57:00 No, there are 36 oaths, as the Lightweavers use truths, which necessarily will have to be absolutely individual.

[@haydenyaboi546]

If there are parables about truth and honesty that could cover them to get to 40

[@BradleyJackson-d8b]

Not sure how widely thought this is but I am absolutely convinced the Herald madness is at least partially from Ba Ado Mishram being sealed as well. The heralds are a sorta spren after all. Keen on them suddenly all going sane again when BAM gets released. Also, Shin invasion of Urithuru???

[@omniboy-prime]

I've been saying this from years now and everyone seems to ignore It. If the heralds are mad because of old they are, they should be crazy since even before the desolations because they come from Ashyn. At least they should be close to become crazy very long ago. And if It is because of the time in braize, we should have seen them mad in the way of kings prelude. We also see them very well in the dalinar vision when he touches nale. Every single one of the Things we know about them in the past describe thems very well. I think It has to do for sure with either mishram, or whatever honor did that he regrets

[@carl11547]

The Heralds seemingly went mad at the time of the Last Desolation, though, didn't they? That is long before the binding of Misharm.

[@Hufdud]

"All 3 of us go get a drink." Could be Kaladin as Honor, Shallan, and Shallan's baby. Also I like Lift Bondsmith theories.

[@gavinsmith9871]

Demoux now has to be a Ghostblood. If Felt is than the literal founder of Kelsier's religion not being one would not make sense imo.

[@omniboy-prime]

I think you are thinking about the wrong charachter. Isn't demoux in the 17th shard organization? I think you are talking about Spook. It's been some time since I read mistborn and the way of kings so I could be the one mistaken here

[@gavinsmith9871]

@@omniboy-prime Nope. I'm talking about exactly who I want to talk about. My theory is that Demoux is infiltrating the 17th shard for the GBs.

[@Axel-tk3tk]

​@@omniboy-primeDemoux is supposed to be in the 17th shard. But he could be a double agent.

[@LeGoooze]

My theory regarding Ba-Ado-Mishram. She is the spren of Roshar, the one who represents the whole planet, who was unmade by odium. This could explain why a lot of bad things started to happen once she was captured inside a gemstone and as to why she seems to be on a league of her own. The other unmade could be other 'lesser' god-spren unmade by Odium, either willingly (like probably Mishram was) or unwillingly.

I wonder if the fact that in Emberdark, Frost is raising an orphaned dragon whose parents were his friends is connected to the dragon lawyer from day 2

I woul;dn 't be surprised if Sanderson releases a dedicated Cosmere Ars Arcanum soon.

[@David-ix3oc]

1:09:00 About the spanish translation of the previews. It does in fact say "Ese podría ser un comecuernos" which translates to "that MAN could be a horneater". The previews are published by Nova (the spanish publisher for the stormlight archive) and are translated by Manu Viciano, the guy who is already translating the entire book so we can have a silmultaneous release, so without anything being definitive I would say we can be pretty confident the horneater is a "he".

[@maeperegrine6327]

In the Spanish translation, does it tell us anything about the gender of Szeth's highspren?

[@David-ix3oc]

@@maeperegrine6327 I don't think so. I could have missed something but it felt like they were being purposefully vague, only refering to it as "Szeth's spren", "the highspren" or something along those lines.

[@connorcloward8191]

Even though I know that Kaladin is not in the spiritual realm, I still think that he will become Honor's vessel. The more I think about why this was my first instinct the more it makes sense. Ishar, wants to take up the power, but I have a feeling that Kaladin's influence on Ishar will leave a great impression and instead lead Kaladin to being the vessel. The number 1 reason being the fact that Kaladin has always acted with honorable intent and Syl is his balance. Especially her being the last ancient spren of Honor it makes sense that they would keep their bond, and possibly be a more powerful, or balance of Honor's power

[@paquadjo1517]

The author of KoWT could be a time-displaced Gavinor as an adult.

[@batmanphone]

Cool idea but Brandon has said a hard no to any time travel stuff. Unless you mean a memoir later in Gavinors life that we get to see now.

[@edwardguest1404]

@@batmanphonewell it’s written after the events of the books so I don’t think they are suggesting time travel is required

[@TOAofTONY]

Nice flex with those bookshelves Will. …all the envy😅

[@donanausetcscom]

I think it’s said in day 2, but I’m not 100% sure. When shallan is sneaking into the ghost bloods hideout when they talk to felt he says to them he ‘isn’t part of your group’ but just helping them for some reason. Which I find interesting, why help the ghostbloods if he clearly doesn’t like them. I could be misinterpreting what he said though or misremembering.

[@patricklozano1717]

[@sparkuuu]

I’m not sure if the parables corresponding to oaths works because the oaths for lightweavers are all revealing truths unique to themselves.

[@danielcohen9120]

9:22 Axindweth is Terris, right? Venli mentions her strange relationship to King Gavilar and that she has many ear piercings.

[@carl11547]

And the Terris-sounding name, and being short for a Rosharan. Yeah.

[@danielcohen9120]

@carl11547 Curious where you read that Axindweth was shorter than Rosharans. I looked about in ROW as well as the Coppermind and couldn't find the reference. I ask because I wonder how much shorter she would be since she is Terris.

@17thShard Ouch, okay - thanks ;)

[@marcelle7841]

i think everyone is just taking Wit's word for it. Maybe he's pushing people in a direction too and so the loop hole thing is a trick he's pulling.

[@darcy7257]

Maybe I’ve been tainted by video games but “taking the capital city means you take the country” seems too obvious to be considered a loophole. The part I find frustrating is that the characters are so shocked by it.

[@SamBucek]

Random question that has a low chance of being plot relevant, is/was tanavast a dragon? We know that cultivation is one with the name “Koravelium Avast”, and they both have the same name suffix of Avast, I was curious if that was a dragon naming convention.

[@17thShard]

Brandon's said Cultivation is the only dragon Vessel -Eric

[@SamBucek]

@ only, or only living?

[@17thShard]

In looking for the answer to your question (which I'm pretty sure is real, because Ian has been irritated about this for a while), I found an even more relevant one for you saying Tanavast was not a dragon: wob.coppermind.net/events/522/#e16277

[@scarletsabre8383]

I feel like Ishar taking all the burdens is via Bondsmith Connection shenaniganary, though I wonder about his astral projection... I wonder if he's using the other Honourblades, since the Shin have them, and he could easily have bonded them all to basically give him every Surge without the limits of the Oaths, and become even MORE dangerous, and probably capable of razing the planet by himself Plus, he'd have his own justification for taking the blades and powers, as recompense for taking their burdens for so long

[@Axel-tk3tk]

Wow I've only ever heard laat coke in the desert in spanish. But yep that's Ishar. He is a GOD

[@thexerun8812]

I put this theory in your spreadsheet but I’m claiming it here Unite Them is telling Dalinar to stop the Everstorm by uniting the everstorm and highstorm to create the new storm 1:03:49 My amendment to the theory is that Dalinar as the person who always has to do things by himself unites himself into the storm too. Which leads Kaladin to become king of Urithiru

[@carl11547]

I'm pretty sure Kaladin will actually be the one to take up the Shard of Honor.

[@karohe]

Honestly, it is unbelievable how much has been retconned from previous books for plot convenience . Also the chapters have so much padding. The word count for the first two days could easily be a third with no loss of information.

[@lachlankidd6517]

What's been retconned? Not being antagonistic, just want to know because I haven't noticed anything like that. Also I partially agree with it being a bit long/slow in parts, but I think it's mainly noticeable because we're stuck only being able to read 2-3 chapters a week. The other thing is that Brandon loves his foreshadowing, and I definitely feel like a lot of these slower bits are going to feel a lot more relevant on the second read-through.

[@willcaster819]

@@karohe I honestly don’t see any retcons. Unless you consider all new information to be retroactive continuity? Idk. Much like the above comment, I’d love to know what exactly you are referring to.
