Your Spanreeds and Theories 2! | Lost in Roshar Ep. 56

[@TwoSockAaron]

I like the opening banter. Don't stop the banter.

[@asteria4279]

I like the occasional Spanread/crazy theory episode. It adds some variety, and I don't mind at all that it's a "crutch" when you go away - otherwise we would have NO episode!! Also, there's never time in a chapter specific episode to talk more generally, or pause and look at the big picture.

The Wimsy theory is fun but not likely. In Rythm of War it was explained by the Sibling that there used to be two tones of Roshar, one for Honor and one for Cultivation. And then when Odium became a part of Roshar a third tone was added. Maybe the color of the moon being purple eludes to something else.

[@zigdonfreud]

Voidlight is purple, Stormlight is blue and Lifelight is green. There might be another Shard but not an Invested one like Honor. Odium and Cultivation

[@aka_shoyo5244]

Yeah as much as I like to think that whimsy is the fourth shard but it isn't likely cause on one occasional Brandon specified that whimsy's color in magic the gathering would be mono red so it isn't likely that he is the fourth shard. It might be invention or someone

I started reading again in 2024 because of Roshar, The Way of Kings sucked me in headfirst into the Cosmere. I’m on my first reread of Stormlight and I anticipated it not hit as hard as it did the first read, but I can’t help but hanging on secrets and foreshadowing that my brain completely missed on the first read. These spanreads are doing that and more, itching a scratch, goosebumps erupting through revelations and theories from your viewers and the insights from you guys, so close to answering my questions but leaving so much meat on the bone. I can’t stop thinking about this world and community the Winds have brought me. Please keep doing these Spanreeds.

[@DylanDiscoverySpren]

Loved this episode guys! Dare I recommend an episode where you go through your top 10 spanreeds of all time? (This might be more difficult than I imagine depending on how many you actually receive)

[@spi19991337]

Thanks!

[@LostinDiscovery]

Thank you!

[@Haxerous]

Hemalurgy can steal spren bonds but given that spren have control over the bond they can just break it or withold power similar to Syl in WoR. I think you would probably need to steal Identity and Connection, may be also a bit of Fortune of the KR to be able to hold the bond. And probably the earlier you do it the more effective it is going to be. For example at 4th Ideal the spren is going to be much more aware of what is going on than at 1st ideal.

[@tonytoestep]

The color of Voidlight is purple y’all…. So purple is also associated with Odium

[@spi19991337]

Great episode!!!!!

[@adamborst]

Per Jimmy's live last night, there really is an added something when there's interaction between hosts. I don't think this would be nearly as successful or good of a pod if it was done in isolation. The chemistry makes it happen. Thanks boys!

[@asteria4279]

I kinda wish you guys had sponsors for the podcast. I want to listen in a place I can set a sleep timer, but also support you! I don't really want ads though lol.... Rock and a hard place and all that 😂

[@aarong9128]

Enjoy the vacation. I need to take one.

[@MARYCALLOWAY-s4u]

1: Voidlight has been described as violet colored, so it does correlate with the three moons. 2: **spoiler for preview chapters** . . . Wit has identified the Wind as a Spren of Adonalsium, and that Roshar, itself--and the old magic--was created by Adonalsium prior to the Shattering.

[@wcouch8]

Great book recommendations at the end ... so listen to the end!

[@CodyTaylor115]

I'm listening to RoW at the moment and currently in the chapters where navani is studying light and void like is purple. Which explains the moon colors but it does make me ask another question. Why is odium gold-white... Honor and cultivation are associated with their light colors but not odium... Curious

[@logicalluke4471]

I have a theory regarding the spiritual realm. (Spoilers for the preview chapters!) After reading the chapter in Shadesmar and BAM appears in the beads before Shallan. I've thought about the spiritaul realm. Oftentimes Shallan talks about feeling the souls of the beads in Shadesmar, using the soul to affect them. Knowing that BAM is in the spiritual realm and "Spirit" is a synonym of "Soul," I've made the connection that the beads are the key to accessing the spiritual realm. Though, I've only read Stormlight in the Cosmere I cannot expand on the theory much farther.

[@mechannelidkwhy]

Soul on Roshar doesn't really seem to be synonymous with spirit. I think soul is more synonymous with how a physical object shows up in the cognative realm. So I think the bead itself is the soul.

[@Rhedak]

I do agree with the One Piece recommendation. Stormlight Archive and One Piece are two of my favorites despite the difference in medium. PS: How cool would a Stormlight manga be?

[@LostinDiscovery]

Stormlight manga would be amazing

[@jeffreywilliams7641]

Will there be an episode this week?

[@mohammedzawia1054]

DO these have spoilers for any material previewed from Wind and Truth

[@LostinDiscovery]

Yes, we take the preview chapters into account when discussing the spanreeds

[@Haxerous]

17:14 that's factually incorrect. Voidlight is purple. Gold is just how Rayse chose to appear and Red is the colour of corruption it isn't unique to Odium. Also in RoW we know that Odium is now Invested on Roshar and its rhytm/tone is present just like that of Honor and Cultivation. We also know the Old Magic is Adonalsium's OG magic on Roshar. The whole theory is bunk.

[@Haxerous]

Tones and Rhythms aren't whimsical or a unique roshar thing. All shards have a tone and rhythm associated with them. They are much more relavant to roshar because of the singers who can naturally tap into them.
