sadeas was meant to be in community theater productions from a young age but unfortunately he lives on roshar so instead of spending his adolescence being the dentist from little shop of horrors he was beheading people and sticking their decapitated heads on spikes

Good GOD Ialai at the end of her life. She’s got NOBODY none of her friends none of her loved ones. Like in terms of family Sadeas is dead and she doesn’t have any other immediate family members (unless you count whatever the hell the Sadeases and Amaram had going on, and Amaram’s dead too). Then for, like, friends? Gavilar is dead, Evi is dead, she had to cut all positive ties with Dalinar after he and Sadeas had their falling-out and besides that he probably killed Sadeas so he’s gone from buddy to Guy Who Needs To Die, Navani chose Dalinar over her. She’s highprincess but her princedom has gone to shit and is currently being occupied and has lost the political relevance it had a year and a half ago so it pretty much means nothing. Not only was her husband brutally murdered, but the task force meant to investigate the murder just… dropped off the face of the Roshar and everyone ended up just going well who cares it doesn’t matter we all hated him anyway. Wouldn’t you also sequester yourself in a dingy underground bunker and never eat and spend most of your time drinking copious amounts of wine? Wouldn’t you also see some rival secret society lady was over to try to kill you and pretty much immediately go well I had a good run, put me out of my misery? Good god, Ialai. Living the torment nexus.

So I haven’t read the secret history or any other heavy lore books yet but I’m just curious: was Adonalsium naturally made out of 16 entities or did it broke up into number of people that killed it? What I mean is, if Hoid accepted the part of the power it would be 17? What would it be? Or some of the vessels would gave up their power?

It SEEMS that it/they was/were one entity and they split it/them, but it also seems that the Shards are split by Dawnshard, meaning that 16 was the inevitable number. Hoid would have taken Endowment, though, we do know that.

It’s a bummer that there was seventeen of them then. But still I don’t really understand the mechanics of Dawnshard. Like I have read the Dawnshard of Stormlight Archive with Rysn, but where it actually explains the way it works??

There may have actually been eighteen, or possibly 20-21 depending on who you ask. The Dawnshards are the four primal commands used to create the Cosmere, the two we know now are Exist and Change (opposites), there's one which technically opposes all the others (possibly Exist), and the mural in the cave where Rysn gets Change depicts a whole divided into four segments (Dawnshards) which are all also divided into four more segments (Shards). Most of this info will come out in Dragonsteel, which hasn't been written yet, so most of it is RAFOed indefinitely.

How I feel hearing Brandon say that willshapers would be the punk rockers of the radiants, as a willshaper

This is a Sivi appreciation post. Not only did she withstand the power of the unmade, but she was hot and sexy while she did it. Best honorbearer.

D'y'ever think about how Ishar, in looking for new Heralds, created the perfect replacement Willshaper Herald and simply did not realize because he wanted people who would obey him without question, which is also the reason he puts Kalak in his "most insane" list despite being exponentially more insane himself? I think about this. I think about this a lot. Sivi-daughter-Sivi, characterization tool of literally everyone. Love to see it. Also yeah she's hot asf.

Whenever the female Herald hangout, Kalak is always there with them. He’s just one of girls 💅

He does Chana's eyeliner because she can never get it straight herself <3

this pride month I think it's important to remind everyone that the nahel bond says trans rights. radiant spren say trans rights. stormlight, honor's own investiture, literally said "trans rights now" when the king of the reshi isles bonded an ashspren. just think about that.
