Brandon Sanderson / Re: WoK: Kaladin and Syl *Spoilers*
« on: March 22, 2011, 04:31:55 PM »
A couple of observations/questions
There is speculation in other threads here that there are shards named after different "emotional states or actions" and these shards can be destroyed or splintered. Spren seem to be a more recent thing. I don't remember them described anywhere in the visions of the past-- the time of the heralds. Syl is an honor Spren and the almighty is possibly somehow connected to the "honor" shard. Is it possible the Spren are some manifestation of Odium and Honor just splintered beyond recognition?
Is it possible Kaladin is, by acting honorably, slowly becoming the new "almighty" by making Syl strong enough to reform the shard of honor or become it? Or Kaladin could be the shard and Syl is the conscience of the shard or an external projection of the shard in him.
I'm starting to think the Highstorms are the "essence" of the almighty left after his "death".
Shard plate, may be something that grows out of oneself and one's character, that is, knights may have created their own shard plate in the past. Now people are just running around wearing the symbol of someone else's honor. This would explain why Syl sees the shard plate and armor as distasteful.
What do you guys think?
