Always good to get a breakdown of the orders. The real question though is which one would you wish to join? I don't know why but the notion of the stonewards always appealed to me. Probably because their Herald is quite possibly the single most noble being in the whole damn cosmere so if the order bears any resemblance to him at all..... just damn son.

@TheCosmerenaut

The Stonewards were said to most match the nature and temperament of their Herald, so it sounds like a good match. I'm honestly most drawn toward the Truthwatchers, both because I like the surges they can bind, and the "outcast" feeling we've gotten with Renarin is really relatable to me.

Hi can you talk a bit more about bondsmiths? For example Dalinar could start understanding people taking in a different language after speaking with them. Also the 2 abilities don't really explain how he was able to unite the realms. Even Stormfather was goofed up by this one.

I think that goes beyond his Order. He said he is “Unity”, like Odium, Honor and Cultivation. Maybe he’s becoming one of them. Just a feeling. And also when Dalinar said he is Unity, Odium replied “That’s impossible, we killed you”. I think there was a Unity before and he was killed by Odium and other accomplices.

Dalinar as a Bondsmith is about to manipulate the surge of Connection, which is one of the fundamental forces of the entire Cosmere. Worldhoppers like Hoid use a similar method to speak local languages, though others actually take the time to learn.

Minor Spoilers for some Shallan backstory (I think from Words of Radiance). Aluminium can be soulcast.

When her brother was being taken for his gambling debts and she gives the debtor her necklace in exchange for her brother.

Which order would I like to be in? None of them, considering the fact you have to be traumatized in order to get in and, I'm sorry, but the prospect of going through a horrifying experience only to be conscripted into an army to stave off the end times is not a job prospect I find appealing.

@TheCosmerenaut

5 жыл бұрын

I don't think the trauma is important. I mean, we know that in order to bond a spren, you need to have cracks in your spiritweb, so of course some sort of "traumatic" experience is necessary, but I would argue that life itself is traumatic enough. We get beaten and broken down enough just going through our own everyday existence, that all of us, even those who, from the outside, seem to have had it easy, likely have those cracks. But being broken isn't the most important; it's what you do afterward. Do you pick yourself up, fill those cracks with something stronger, and keep doing the best you can even in the face of the end of the world? Or do you roll over and get swept up in the highstorm of life? That's the most intriguing concept in the Stormlight Archive to me; the difference between a perceived noble who falls, like Amaram, and a character you initially hate but who rises, like Gaz. It truly has to be "Life before death, strength before weakness, journey before destination." For all of us. Sorry for the wall of text.
