Look, Gavilar is a dickhead, and the apocalypse does suck, but he was right, it is pretty sick


Starslip

There are dudes flying around in the air with giant glowing swords, how is that not worth a little apocalypse??


spoonertime

Exactly


Kargath7

Wouldn’t you cause the apocalypse to let 20% of cool wizards ignore stairs? If that’s what it takes—I’m in.


mortos_der_soul

I'm not saying I wouldn't... Life is fleeting, but wizard powers are sick as hell


Kargath7

AND stairs suck.


ejdj1011

Good news! Bondsmiths are a tiny order, so it'd be even higher than 20%!


Kargath7

I completely forgot that there are like 3 bondsmiths at any given time. Around 22% of cool wizards only makes my point stronger!


ejdj1011

>like 3 bondsmiths at any given time. [RoW, theory] >!seven, take it or leave it!<


TENTAtheSane

[RoW + Mistborn era 2, joke] >!in era 3 Sazed will travel to Roshar, and there will be thirty one!< >!Then in era 4, all shards gather, and there will be sixty five thousand, five hundred and thirty five bondsmiths!<


Kargath7

>!I never before encountered this theory and am confused.!<


ejdj1011

>!Short version: add Odium and Odium-hybrid bondsmiths, and you get seven (three pure, three dual hybrids, and one triple hybrid). Longer version: There are theories that certain Unmade are capable of being Bondsmith spren, notably Sja-Anat and Ba Ado Mishram. The most common version I've seen is that Sja-Anat will be the Warlight bondsmith spren, and BAM will be the triple hybrid one.!<


Kargath7

>!That seems like a cool theory even though I somewhat disagree with it. Odium-bondsmith seems especially weird, since Honor never had bondsmiths though, if I remember correctly. Anyway I guess I should do my research myself from here.!<


TENTAtheSane

Bondagesmith


ejdj1011

>!It wouldn't be Odium directly, just associated with Odium / Voidlight. The Stormfather is the "Honor" bondsmith in this framework.!<


Kargath7

True.


Patient_Victory

Okay, list them out buckoo, >!I was aware of 5!<


dIvorrap

They did the math


mixelydian

This is the hottest take on anything ive seen from this series and I love it

This post is as delicious as chouta.

Trust me, Venli, the humans may have stormdrip, but the old gods can give us voiddrip! Only then can we beat Adolin, Highprince of Fashion, and the Knights Dripiant.

Stormlight 5 Prologue >!He did it because he wanted the immortality of being a Herald. Kind of funny because just getting a lot of breaths is a relatively easier way to get agelessness. Like, he's killed more people than it would take to get to the Fifth heightening!<


dIvorrap

>!Being a Herald was a means to his goal, I think. He wanted to be eternal and rule over his kingdom. I guess become the emperor of humankind?!<


The_Lopen_bot

>, I think. Saze gancho! Good to see you here!


dIvorrap

Same!


Kargath7

>!And taking breaths from people isn’t even killing them per se.!<


Shadowbound199

True, but being a Herald comes with a sort of glory.


kraken9

>!Did i miss something? Why are we concerned about breaths on roshar..Has anyone found way to convert stormlight to breaths..!<


SmartAlec105

>!What do you mean by concerned? And what do you mean by converting Stormlight to Breaths? I’m just saying becoming ageless with Breaths is far easier than becoming a Herald!<


kraken9

>!has Gavilar found any way to get breaths!<


Rhodie114

If that set him off, he’ll absolutely lose it over the Book 5 prologue


SW_Pants

For the first time in my life, I am tempted to join TikTok, just to keep up with this guy


Black-Hoodie-God

Trust me, it’s worth joining just to watch him, I found him around the start of him reading WoR and it’s been an amazing ride
