Wind and Truth Chapters 23&24 Reaction

[jeffweskamp]

This is what Navani's notes about the flamespren say:

The spren can be convinced to stay in the physical realm and
enter the fabrial by choice

A proffered hot coal and the
right tone calms it and
keeps it from dissipating

They seem drawn to many of the same
things we are recognition
identity belonging

We are early in this development
sometimes modern techniques are still
required

The spren take on unique traits as we see them as individuals

Flare of flamespren
Gust of windspren
Affliction? of painspren
This seems like it could get out of control quickly

Will this create a strain of more
malleable flamespren? Can it
encourage them to multiply?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who has already started to call for a Bippy Plushy.

[agonyaunt]

Interesting thought about how Kaladin might need to learn to play the flute for the wind, meaning there was more to Hoid's giving him a flute than we ever imagined.

[alphaomegagiant]

Elid asks if the servants of the monasteries (plural) will use the swords (plural). So it seems consistant with the original reading's implication that there is one Honorblade per monastery. So I guess prospective Honeorbearer's travel from monastery to manastery to train each surge, Avatar-style.

[EnderVexer]

Who wants to bet that szeth just found his oath*stone*.

[Buphido]

I was wondering, if the main issue with infiltrating the Ghostblood hideout was the black white sand, then why not get past it and immediately summon pattern as a small dagger and dismiss him again? Gets the spren past the sand no problem. Unless of course they have additional checks further in.

[GhostEmblem]

What do you mean there used to only be one? Szeth said that he has trained with all ten surges, there was a reference to Nale getting his blade(back) from Shinover and a whole bunch of hints toward there being multiple I remember discussing on a forum years ago that they must have at least 5 for Szeth to have trained with all 10 surges.

[DanielSClouser]

My first thought was that they must have a bunch of monasteries corresponding to each Honorblade, but then I realized something: the Honorblade that corresponds to the Stonewards was not actually on the planet at the time--much less in Shinovar. I'm not really sure what this means.

[WaxiliamSibanda]

The swords they mentioned are ordinary shardblades

[tannerflowers]

I cant wait to watch these videos after it finaly comes out. I refuse to till I can have the whole thing

[sonicdude]

I would never bet my sweet Bippy on anything; I love them too much...

[bongpoquito]

The Shin invasions are starting to make sense...

[nelkabosal]

I understood that to mean they had multiple Shardblades (i.e. deadeyes), not multiple Honorblades

Reference:
“Do you think, ” Elid whispered, “that the servants of the monasteries will ever come out and fight for us? Use the swords during one of the raids?”

“Elid!” he said, standing. “The shamans would never subtract.”

“Mother says they practice with the Blades. I’d like to see that, hold one. Why practice, except to—”
