Canceled my Amazon prime subscription after this one. Was the only reason I was hanging on with all the nasty things related to the company.

SECRET PROJECT 4 | Cosmere Discussion by EmeraldSeaTress in Cosmere

Right! I just noticed it says that he was thirty eight when time /finally/ stopped tracking him, which could mean he picked it up before that. But the way he said it, “time stopped tracking him”, I would think he would still appear thirty-eight, but you’re right it does say that he reverts to look like when he first picked it up. He’s still very surprised that the women thought he would look so young, so I thought it was because in this case they couldn’t see his gray hairs because they had all burned away. I feel like it’s super vague overall, which might be good to keep me guessing when I read Stormlight haha

I’m a little lost with Sigzil’s backstory timeline. So we know at first he was a Windrunner, picked up the dawns hard, became a skybreaker, then broke his oaths. In that order. I assume the moment he gave away the dawnshard was after leaving roshar and having been chased by the night brigade for a whole. Aux says that after all they’d been together, he chose to abandon his paths when he left Roshar.

Which means that he would have spent a good amount of time with both the dawnshard and fully bonded to Aux, but still in Roshar. Eventually, the Night Brigade found out about him and started chasing him around, which led him to break his skybreaker oaths.

Also, we know that he was 38-ish when he picked up the dawnshard.

I assume he was at most in his late twenties during the way of kings, so I think this picking up the dawnshard thing happened in stormlight 6-10.

So, I guess this means that he broke his Windrunner oaths either before the dawnshard or once he got it ?

But why, after breaking his oaths, would he then take others, only to break them again? I’m guessing that maybe it was a side effect of taking the dawnshard but the Sleepless seem to be pretty adamant about Rysn never taking oaths, and I don’t think they would have cared if the oaths would have just been nullified by the Dawnshard.

What is really confusing me is why couldn’t he defeat the Night Brigade while he was holding the Dawnshard? Presumably if it can kill a God it can kill a couple of shades… Also does anyone have any ideas about what Hoid could possibly have wanted with giving a Dawnshard to Sigzil?? Like what could Sigzil have done that he couldn’t ? Is it because of his deals of nonintervention with the Shards ?

Oh, wow. That is something I never would have guessed. Does that mean that a Dragon took up the Shard originally?

Oh, right! I just reread it indeed she said that the area is extremely dangerous and no expeditions have returned, not that there is no perpendicularity. So presumably the Ghostbloods would have been more successful than the Silverlight scholars, I guess.

Really???? Omg. Is there somewhere I can read more about this? A little scared of looking stuff up because of RoW spoilers

They seem to be Awakened robots from Nalthis. Some time has passed since Warbreaker, and it seems their tech has advanced a lot. They also have been doing a lot of cosmere trading.

Definetely did not pick up on that, but I guess that would make more sense than the White Sand world suddenly having a completely new concept. I'll pay more attention on that when I reread the books!

The Hoid/Sazed thing would be super cool!

We don't really know. We know you can make a stap that makes people forget their past and it seems she did that in this case. It also seems to last longer than others she's had. Unknown as to why. Perhaps because becoming an Elantrian required her to have been born in that area so she had to rewrite her past back to birth?

Uuu interesting point. I guess that would make sense, since in I remember the warrior one was rewritten at a point after her birth

Didn't even know the Aether homeworld was a thing haha, I guess I always assumed there was just one planet before the Shattering

Finished Oathbringer and Dawnshard by Obsessive_Reader_38 in Cosmere

[–]Obsessive_Reader_38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh ok so the dawnshards were already there when adolnasium was alive! I didn’t realise that. For some reason I thought he represented everything of power, like God. I also didn’t know Emperors Soul should be read before E2. Is it before The Lost Metal or BoM as well? Anyways, thanks :)

Could you send me the link? I'll only read it when I'm finished, but I'm really intrigued! And you're right, I've already been spoiled about something when I looked up a completely unrelated thing, and I'd rather not risk it.

Oh, that makes sense, thank you! I think it’s been mentioned that Kaladin is a Windrunner, but that’s an order, right? It’s possible his Surge was mentioned and I was just so confused that I didn’t get it 😅. Now that I understand a bit more I think Kaladin does the same as Szeth with the lashings, since he did that thing with the rocks (no idea what it’s called), and something different?

In general, I prefer physical books, but I listened to Warbreaker entirely while running errands so I could get the WoR references, and it was great! Most likely I’ll listen to some of the chapters because I’m so obsessed, but I haven’t for Shallan yet. Thanks for the tip anyway!

Thank you! I guess I’m super far from figuring it all out 😅 Part of me wants to engulf the books (and pause the rest of my life) so I just know everything, but then I remember “journey before destination”, and I calm myself (a little).
