" will Kaladin be able to .."
Yes.

This video is getting me so excited for the second half of Stormlight!!! It’s such a fun time to be a cosmere fan. If someone told me what the cosmere would look like at this point back when I first started reading these books in 2018 I’d be losing my mind. Not to mention the Apple deal and all the brotherwise games etc. great video as always mate!!!

I think Shallan having a baby in the cognitive realm would be so tragically beautiful, I’d love/hate to see that storyline!

Brandon Sanderson has taken my favorite author spot from Stephen king I just can’t get enough since I read stormlight archive now I’m doing the mistborn books an they are just as good I can’t get enough I spent like 650$ for a hardcover wheel of time set bc of Sanderson as well so I’ll be getting into them soon enough hopefully Sanderson is rite about them he hasn’t let me down yet

I would like to see Gav swear himself to an order. I think learning about what happened in the spiritual realm to him could be interesting enough for it's own book honestly, but I know that he's not one of the 10 flashback characters sooooo

Feel like The Mink has the possibility of being a Khandra

Hi. I love your enthusiasm. Subscribed for a bit now but just wanna say I enjoy your videos and excited to see more from you!

The one thing I feel like people won't mention regarding El is that, Brandon has played with Rule of Cool before. So it definitely seems too fast to have been summoned in a normal way. But also Kaladin's flying is usually described in a way which isn't consistent with using gravity, where he just wills himself in certain directions like Superman instead of changing his gravity and waiting for the acceleration/wind resistance to change his trajectory.

So it's possible all Brandon meant by it was that El has a normal Shardblade but he considers it having taken 10 heartbeats to summon but rule-of-cool made it appear just in time to stab the guy. Maybe El was smart enough to realize how this Regal would react and started summoning it early enough to catch him.

The Origin is simply Urithiru. Over the thousands of years, one of the things people got wrong is that they started to think it was far to the east "where the storms started" cuz they forgot that it's just one storm which keeps circling the planet.

I'm finally caught up with Stormlight for the first time, so I can finally watch a video at its release!

Hey dude, great video, just pointing out that the timestamp you gave for avoiding spoilers regarding the Truthwatchers' 4th Ideal is wrong! Hope this helps. Love your content :)

Surprised you didn't have anything on Lift and cultivations master plan.

The Mink - how do we know that the great shells aren’t under retribution’s control? Also the Mink bonding the Nightwatcher has a nonzero chance of happening.

The Origin - my theory is that the ancient spren are in the origin, and bringing a Dawnshard (Rysn) there would be so scary

The Blackthorn - I feel like the blackthorn is going to be a pov later on in arc 2. I could see it getting defeated in like book 7, then waking up and no longer being under retribution’s control, and going on its own arc from there

El - I think Lightcallers came up with this theory, but the guess is that el is an adhesion fused, and he replaces his carapace with aluminum to stop his soul from being drawn back to Braized

Shallan bebé - I feel like Jasnah could just Elsegated Shallan and the kid back into Urithiru. The kid will still be like 10-15 when arc 2 starts, so they’ll be old enough to notice the lack of a father in their life.

Mishram - Renarin and Rlain are clearly a foil to Garith and Shmone, the human and singer who helped trap BAM in the false desolation, so I agree that Renarin’s book will probably be the most unmade heavy

Rysn - see the origin section, but I think Rysn at the Origin would be BAD

Battar - I have a feeling that Battar is going to be Jasnah’s main foil character. Both are Elsecallers, and both seek the greater good, only Jasnah’s is for her family and Battars is for her bank account.

Shalash - I feel like it’s no coincidence that Shallan’s mom is the herald of Dustbringers (the order Ash will theoretically join), while Shallan herself is a Lightweaver, the order Ash is currently patron of.

Taln - this is a whole can of worms that I’m not opening until his flashbacks are closer to being released, but I can’t wait

Something to note about your El being a Knight Radiant theory. His ability to summon his shardblade instantly is not just something that is done with the Honorblades and the shardblades of the radiants, but also by Adolin (the unoathed) with his dead spren Maya. He is able to do many special things with his blade due to his bond/connection to the blade. (Moash was especially jealous of this)

It is probably more likely that he is just a Radiant, but it's a possibility he was the first unoathed.

Other than "Ash becoming a Dustbringer" there are two other possibilities. First, Shallan bonding an ashspren and becoming a Dustbringer would be an interesting story. Her mother is Chana, after all. Second, in Book 8, we may see Ash bearing Dustbringer Honorblade for most of the story, until a switch in orders takes place.

L was the one that met the heralds when they came to roshar!

Shadesmar ain't the kind of place to raise your kids, in fact it's cold as hell.

There are other ways Shallan could get back to the physical realm. She could use Retribution's perpendicularity or Jasnah could pull her out. Getting back to Adolin would be difficult: Retribution controls the Shadesmar seas and most of the Physical Realm, making travel between Azir, Urithiru and the Shattered Plains impossible without passing through his lands. But I do think by the time we get to Stormlight 6, there will be a robust underground network connecting those points. In theory, Shellan and Adolin could use that network to reunite, and I don't think it would take ten years.

The last place we see Shallan is on the Cognitive Realm side of the Horneater Peaks. Sanderson's purpose in placing her there might be so she can make an appearance at the very end of the Horneater novella.

We might see her make the decision to worldhop, but I don't think it will be because she thinks going offworld will help her reunite with Adolin. Maybe she leaves to find something that's going to help her save the world.

I think Blackthorn....will become Dalinar again.

I think the Origin...is where Adonalsium was shattered...and I think it will eventually be integral in Recombination.

Shallan will have twins
