I think the Nahel bond... Jacob Send a noteboard - 07/09/2010 02:35:36 PM
...on what the Nahel bond is?

In one of Dalinar's flashbacks, King Nohadon said, "the Nahel bond gave (Alakavish) no more wisdom than a regular man. Alas, not all spren are as discerning as honorspren."

And we know that Kaladin has an honorspren following him around.

Thoughts, ideas, opinions, wild guesses?


Might be talking about, specifically, about those able to work power like Shallan and those symbol heads and Shadesemar (sp?). King Nohadon is specifically referencing Alakavish and people with a specific kind of power.

Personally, I think of what we're seeing a bit more like a Ying/Yang sort of thing. Different things coming closer together, creating something more unified and powerful.

Do these pretty symbols in the front and back of this book play any sort of role in the story? j-whitt987 - 06/09/2010 10:33:01 AM 1533 Views

I wondered the same thing a few times. j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 03:11:11 AM 1283 Views
The bridges were arched and were much longer than the chasms *NM* Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 03:30:48 AM 731 Views
How does that keep them from toppling when they are pushed over the edge of the chasms, though? *NM* j-whitt987 - 12/09/2010 02:23:32 PM 658 Views
Think about it Dark Knight - 12/09/2010 05:17:07 PM 1290 Views
I don't see. Palatine - 12/09/2010 06:18:22 PM 1342 Views
