Dalinar Kholin. Big Ol’ WIP of my favorite bondsmith. I’d argue that his character arc and development is on par with Prince Zuko, one of the most well written characters I’ve read.

Chekhov's Bondsmith?

STORMLIGHT 5 THEORY, SPOLIERS FOR ROW

Okay, so. There's a missing Bondsmith. And What if... Crackpot theory... It's Kaladin.

Okay, So I might just be talking nonsense which would track since 90% of my experiences with Stormlight is fawning over how cool Kaladin is, but I think it makes sense.

Now keep in mind that I've only read through Stormlight once and finished a few months ago.

So first off, It is possible for someone to have a double Nahel Bond, it's confirmed through a WOB though it is described as difficult to juggle between orders.

Next, The evidence:

I'll split it up between books:

In TWoK:

Jezrien led the Heralds and not Ishar and yes this by itself is nothing but it is a weird choice for Brandon to make as he could have just made Jezrien the Bondsmith but didn't.

Kaladin turns the Bridgeman into Bridge 4, all people of different nationalities and ideals and he UNITES them into one group.

And at the end he gains control of the UNITED bridgemen.

WoR:

Kaladin's arc in this one is about being less racist to Lighteyes and at the end he becomes the starting point for equalization of Darkeyes which we see in affect later in the series. He UNITES the classes both in his mind and in the world. He also lets Renarin in, furthering this.

He also gives Rlain the weapon and treats him with respect, UNITING him with Bridge 4 and in a sense he UNITES humanity and the listeners.

Oathbringer:

This is the book Kaladin starts his sympathies to the Singers, furthering the UNITY between them in his mind.

He starts UNITING all of the Bridgemen into Windrunners.

ROW: At this point he is a UNITING symbol and leader of the Windrunners, and is at dismay when he thinks about how Bridge 4 no longer exists and is UNUNITED

He also UNITES the humans in the tower to fight the Singer Occupation.

And his respect for the Singers grows even more. If you subscibe to KalxLeswi or KalxVenli than he could even UNITE them like that in the next book.

Also he's going to Shinover next book which could put him near the Valley when starting the journey or even when/if coming back for the champion battle whether or not he ends up being the champion.

There might be more I missed. Again it is a crackpot theory but the idea popped out to me and I had to write it down.

[kainekron]

list of things to ask Brandon Sanderson if I ever get a chance

1. can a Nicroboost affect other types of magic and can durluimn do the same?

2. can multiple Kandra control a very large body like an elephant

3. hoid once said he was born as "words on a page" does this mean he is the product of an arranged marriage? as in was he stipulated on a contract at some point and stole himself? [reference to this comment on reddit]

4. does playing the flute have any thematic or magical significance in the cosmere: because all of the people who are predominant characters and play the flute all fall into morally grey to dark so it just feels like it's important

5. do you intentionally start blinding moash more and more throughout the series?

6. can a dead blade link up with an occupied ruby like one with a flame spren or stormlight in it and would that effect anything?

7. does opening up a perpendicularity on an uninhabited planet make it gain a subastral?

8. could they have stuck jezrien's soul back into a body through hemalurgy

9. what Original shard holders are you planning on using as the main Cast for dragon steel?

10. can Edgedancers and Dustbringers use Abrasion to increase friction, also will we get more dustbringers in book 5?

11. can Living blades form into mechanical contraptions like levers or locks?

12. what cosmere character would have the easiest time reaching the 5th ideal, and in which order?

13. do the sleepless have any Shard blades or plates of their own?

14. does Elendle have Metal-born specific sports?

15. has Hoid ever bumped into someone pretending to be Hoid?

16. Does Zellion like instant noodles?

17. can a Skaze bond a person the same as a Seon?

18. who would you say is the freest person in the cosmere?

19. could Raoden have united the Alethi high princes in the same time frame dalinar had?

20. on the voidbinding chart bondsmiths and truthwatchers are not attached to any surges. why?

21. how much help would Steris have been in solving the diagram?

22. can you give us other types of aether spores I assume their was a type that glowed that was part of the flare

23. what is Khriss's opinion on the existence of bone spores

24. who was hoid telling the story too

25. Is a rubik's cube and other puzzles more feminine or masculine to Vorin culture

26. do you do any specific research/worldbuilding on your flora

27. what elements are the crimson spores

28. if Re-Shephir had bonded shallan like she wanted would Shallan have become a midnight Aether born

29. is Maben one of the members of the diagram the kandra?

30. Does Kelsier still have a spiritual aspect?

31. is Zahel being affected by the use of stormlight instead of breath?

32. Glys Tumi and the other enlightened spren were dead eyes right?

33. what do the people of era 2 use as fuel from the fossil that Vasher showed Kal I got the notion that it most worlds of the cosmere haven't had the time to develop that kind of stuff so is it artificial like inedible talo oil? or did harmony use magic to give them petroleum? [answer]

Did you know that you can get a negative number for a radiant order in the official quiz? Because I learned that today

#cosmere #stormlight archives #my friend took the quiz for one of her dnd characters and got a NEGATIVE THREE in bondsmith #WILD

[shouldprobablybereading]

“The nightwatcher bondsmith should be x” the nightwatcher bondsmith should be y”

Clearly the only important qualification is fucking uniting with other bondsmiths and raboniel is already dead good luck

#‘moash should be bondmsith’ yeah sorry he can’t throuple #‘rlain should be bondsmith’ yeah even less him #the real question is who can fuck both navani and dalinar #and the list is pretty short

[onlycosmere]

Lightweaver2 (paraphrased): Could a Bondsmith make a forgery stick longer?

Brandon Sanderson (paraphrased): Yeah, they could do that.

@highly-invested ok I've decided to make a seperate post for this

So I'm not sure if coping mechanisms is quite the right term for it but i don't know what else to call it so I'll just describe it. They're all different ways of tying your happiness and self worth to something else, and specifically not dealing with your trauma (which is something that gets resolved as you go through the ideals). I feel like lightweavers are the most obvious example , with their thing being "I can be happy so long as I never ever think about what happened". You also have windrunners (and possibly also edgedancers in a way but I've not read the novella so idk) where it's "I can be happy so long as I can stop the thing that happened to me from happening again to me or to anyone else"

Which brings us to the skybreakers, who I think are really interesting if analyzed like this, because they would be either "I have faced injustice and I have to rise above that" and them sort of overcomitting to that at forst, or even more interestingly "I myself have done some extremely fucked up shit so I cannot be trusted to make subjective judgements about morality."

#cosmere #the stormlight archive #I do not know yet how truthwatchers and bondsmiths fit into this #nor any of the others but we don't really have major characters for those yet #well we have venli but shes only 2nd ideal i think so I'm not sure where willshapers are going just yet

[gnckholin]

rlain would have been a great bondsmith but sanderson's not ready for that conversation

#stormlight archive #cosmere #rlain has done SO much in line with the bondsmiths #dedicated years to unifying humans and singers #owns up to his own role in the system #brief moment where he thinks oh god venli and I are gonna have to fuck well so be it #like bridger of minds?? how is that not bringing people together #also i think the nightwatcher would like him

[stormtide-leviathan]

I wonder if some of Navani’s scholars are gonna be bondsmith squires
