Hey uhh, has anyone got theories about El the Fused in the ROW epilogue? Wild thought, but what if El is short for Elithanathile (Tanavast) and the title he lost was "He Who Transforms"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find anything that explicitly said that the vessel had died when the shard Honour was splintered, and Fused are cognitive shadows stamped onto a body so it's not like, the stupidest idea right?
uhhh thanks tumblr user itsjustviolet for scaring the everloving shit out of me right before i go to bed /j. also that is hecking TERRIFYING. this couldĀ be possible, but thereās a couple of unexplained things if this is true: lezian tells el that a human stole his title. as far as we know, the only title bestowed upon humans by the fused are He Who Quiets (>:( moash) and Voice of Lights ( ;__; navani). But yeah itās super yikes that the names and the cognitive shadow shit and the āHe Who ___ā title line up š¬š¬š¬. And this wouldnāt be the first āhaha lol ur gods are evil now have fun you bastardsā Sanderson has pulled (see: Heralds). Also, a vaguely related side tangent, He Who Transforms actually makes me go š¤š¤š¤ bc I get Cultivation vibes from that. Itās possible that this is one of the cases where Vorin mythology is off the mark & inaccurate and has over time incorporated part of Cultivationās original powers into the version of the Almighty (Honor) that they believe in, especially because it seems the ardentia isnāt aware of Cultivation.
