The Kaladin interlude is gonna hit like crack

I really hope (and believe) that the Heralds won't show up again until the epilogue of book 6, with Kaladin leading the return in a way that mirrors Taln's return at the end of Way of Kings

I have a theory that at some point in arc 2, Retribution is going to try to use Oroden against Kaladin to try and get him to break the Oathpact similar to how he used Gavinor against Dalinar... and considering how well Kaladin handled his first little brother's death, that idea scares me lol.

Shallon could go offworld, but she would also be capable of figuring out how to become a cognitive shadow which could mess with her age even more.

If we have to watch Gav be robbed of his childhood, and now Adolin's child I'm going to loose it

I think the shape of the shattering plains from honor and odium clashing will be a huge clue to solving warlight in the later books.

Book 5 will end with Adolin, Kaladin and Shallan having that drink at Jez's Duty.

...can you imagine what would happen if Lift munched some of those Patji worms that the Aviar chow down on?

I think the inkspren in Lasting Intergity who said she would join sides with Odium instead of bonding Humans is a good foreshadow for Jasnah joining sides with Retribution. I hope Book 6 will give us her downfall instead of saying she changed sides some years ago.

I think that Navani will be turning Urithiru into a huge space ship. right now in her suspended animation she is getting to understand fabrials and science in a way no one else has. when she wakes up, boom, urithiru hellicarrier.

I like the idea that syl might be the new vessel for honor (or maybe retribution) in a good way because she would've learned how to process strong emotion(as odium is passion more than anger) and she would've also learn how to be honorable from kaladin himself (as I like to say true honor....) instead of honorable words we get a shard of honorable action -maybe supported by strong passion

I really like the idea that we might see Shallan in Ghostbloods.

I think we have a WOB or quote from the books that says that the Heralds drew their power directly from Honor. I agree that the Blades are broken, it never made sense to me that they were so practically inferior to Shards. If the difference between the powers of a broken Honorblade and a functional one are anything like the differences between a dead Shardblade and a living one then…damn.

I think you’re on the right track regarding Shallan (even tho I’m not happy abt it). Sanderson wouldn’t have left her in shadesmar at the end of the first arc if that wasn’t going to be a big barrier for her to overcome in the next books. But I don’t think he will send her to scadrial or do anything else to really jeopardize their relationship since he spent so much time in the first arc building it up.

I have a theory that Sanderson will draw out Shallan and Adolin's separation as long as possible, perhaps to make it all the more cathartic when they return, or for them to have drifted apart and their reunion be kind of heartbreaking (potentially to amplify a point where the fight against Retribution is at its most hopeless). Hopefully Sanderson isn't that keen on breaking everyone's hearts, though it would be a hell of a way to tell a story

This theory is basically completed unfounded and its not very strong, but hear me out for a moment.
We don't know a lot about Fires of December yet, but there is the first two chapters out. We know that December's mother is a foreigner from another world, we in theory know something about her dad but that could very well be made up, and all description points to December looking Alethi.
So what if Shallan is her mom?
As i said very shaky, but i'll share anyway :)

As far as I understand it, towerlight, or any other light, should be fine for conversion as the process involves taking "keyed" light and un-keying it in a vacuum then exposing it to the appropriate vibration/tone to re-key it. Also I suspect Ishar will be able to create a perpendicularity that can provide stormlight whenever the heralds return.

Seeing older Shallan would break my heart, because I just love her chapters so much and she still has so much room to grow. I'd hate to skip that.

My predictions are:
1- The adolin's duel against the blackhorn spren. Saying "my father said that, the words a man can say is, i will do better"
2-Kaladin and the Heralds will appear in the 8 book when all is fucked up and Kaladin will save adolin doing the 2.0 scene of words of radiants in the arena fight (the 4vs2) but more epic
3. Lestibournes is the one they call 16 in integrity(in the honorspren shadesmar zone) and he will help in roshar
4- the sacrifice of the heralds in the final book of era 2: in emberdark hoid mention that the heralds were the strongest, i think in the future they are dead. All have the last part of honor, i think kaladin will ascend as the new  Honor and the others will sacrifice because they know its the only way to rest  beacuse i think they will not heal all the struggling and pain they had, kal will help them to accept the pain and deal it, trying to be better
5 Oroden vs Gavinor: the important fight in roshar for the humanity and the singers will be that, the meaning of orodens name (child of peace) at the end of stormlight we will see oroden claim the victory and also be the king of alezkar.
6- kaladin will be a bondsmith and syl will ascend as stormmother
7-sazed talking in a room with jasnah xdddd
8- what is the 5th ideal, and we will see a bondsmith with 5th ideal?
9- i will like to see shallan fight with the two shardblades and also have a lot of interactions with kelsier
10- Loppen killing Moash with his cousins

My english its not quite good but i tried my best xdd

These videos are gonna blow up in 5 years
