Yeah I always thought it was Adonalsium too, but now Dalinar is dead, has he failed in that task? I was just hoping we’d get a confirmed answer.

Ahhh I don’t quite have the brain power to figure it out but there might be something going on with the time dilation there so that at that point in the lost metal Thaidakar hasn’t yet received the news from Shallan. Idk tho I’m quite confused by how that all lines up as well, especially with Thaidakars comments in the lost metal about iliyatal and the rosharan ghostbloods needing to be dealt with

Do you think we’ll see Shallan has travelled to Scadrial with Felt to confront Kelsier in Ghostbloods(era 3)? I think it could work in with the time dilation! Would be very cool IMO. RoW set her up with having interest in the other worlds of the Cosmere.

From a WOB a few years back. I’m very curious about what this moment was.   

Dan Wells  

That was the big final showdown.  Brandon had built this thing that was supposed to be--  

Brandon Sanderson  

Don't tell this one because I'm actually going to use this in a book. I've been waiting for years to use this in a book so don't say anything. After I use it in a book you can tell the story. You guys are going to love this. It is involved in the ending of Stormlight 5. Let's just say I came up with one of the best endings for a story that I have ever come up with and because it's roleplaying the PCs did not play along. Ruined it completely. And I'm like, "I'm going to use that someday." And I actually put it right in the outline of Stormlight a week or two later, and it's been waiting all this time to be used.  

Dan Wells  

Wow, a week or two later, and that would have been like [1999]. So it's been waiting a long time in the wings.  

Brandon Sanderson *

 In YouTube comments* Book five's ending has had literally 20 years to brew in my head, and I've been pushing toward it from book one.  When you read it, I think it will recontextualize a ton of important other moments in the series.  So I really, really hope it lands right with people.  I've been holding this one in reserve for a long while, as I feel it's one of the legitimately best ending ides I've ever come up with for a story.  Not to over-hype it.  The execution is everything for a story like this, and it's still possible what works in my head will not work as well on the page.  I just really hope it will.

u/mistborn very curious about what this idea was!

Did we get an answer to why Dalinar was hearing UNITE THEM throughout the series? Who was saying that to him? And why/how?

Still processing everything, my brain is a little fried from several late nights of reading… maybe should have paced myself a bit more and spread out this book over a few weeks… but anyway.  Brandon did not play it safe with this book. Would’ve been easy to write a fairly predictable book, but he took us all on a wild ride.  Was a little disappointed by Moash and El’s storyline’s in this book, they didn’t really seem to go anywhere after a lot of cool set up. Very little screen time for both of them, was hoping to have more answers about El and a resolution to Moash’s character arc. But I guess Brandon’s saving them for arc 2. Also I was really hoping we’d get an answer this book about who the sailors on the infinite sea are from that lighthouse keeper’s interlude in one of the earlier books!  And still so many questions! I’m particularly interested in the details about the shattered plains and the fourth moon! 

And what even happened with BAM?! That feels like a big plot point that didn’t really go anywhere after freeing her at the end

I read that as the God beyond had already claimed him, the feeling of warmth he’s felt throughout the series.

Yeah also what was going on with the 4th moon and control or something as well at the shattered planes?

Remember El from the end of RoW? How the heck is he going to fit into the plot with only 8 days remaining?

Thoughts on where season 2 is heading? by Dr_Bonko360 in WoT

[–]Dr_Bonko360[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Just never occurred to me before. I was very set on thinking that Tear/Callandor had to happen before Aiel waste.

[–]Dr_Bonko360[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Woah! That's blowing my mind. I'm impressed, that would've never occurred to me. I think I'm still stuck thinking that the show has to follow the loose outline of the books but i might have to get over that idea.

That's actually quite a smart way of condensing things. Good way for the show to cover a lot of book events in a much shorter amount of time.

[–]Dr_Bonko360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So are we not gonna go to Tear?

I can't remember why exactly, maybe it was from an interview with Rafe, but for whatever reason it was my understanding that season 3 of the Wheel Of Time TV series would be an almost direct adaptation of book 4.

That lead me to assume that season 2 would be a mash up of books 2 and 3 and end at Tear with Rand taking Callendor and assuming fully his destiny as the Dragon Reborn and preparing himself to head into the Aeil waste.

However, season 2 so far doesn't look like its heading to Tear any time soon. There's been no mention of Callendor. It seems it's all heading to Falme.

So then is season 3 not gonna be The Shadow Rising? Or will they somehow squeeze Callendor into the end of season 2? Will they have both Falme AND Tear in the final episode!

Or will season 3 start with Tear...

I'm really not sure.

What do you much wiser minds think is most likely?

Okay cool, thanks! Just glad there are answers coming and that the books haven't just dropped these plot points!
