I haven't had a chance to read all of the posts yet, and sorry if I'm posting something that's already been discussed (if so, please give me a proper rebuke and tell me where I can find it), but I want to pose an idea (and Brandon... or Mr. Sanderson (which ever you chose to be called...) if I'm right, don't ruin it for us? Not that you would... lololol.) Who else thinks that the dude who Vasher killed (and Denth says wasn't in a fair way...) is actually Lightsong? I mean, think about it. He knows how to interrogate people (look at when Tonk Fah and Denth first start quizzing Thame, and compair it.) I'm pretty sure that if he played with a sword, he'd be the best anyone had ever seen. Not sure what the point of the sea terms, and a few of the other things, but I mean, it does make sense... (and plus, it's so the style)
In regards to the chapter.... HOLY FREAKING BEYOND COW!!! Poor Vivenna, having everything torn from her. I hope though that she finds a way into the court of the Gods so that her and Siri can talk... they really need to have a LONG talk about everything. (I could see Vivenna being one of the things that saves everything...)
Anywho, anyone else have thought on the whole Lightsong knowing Vasher and Denth and everything...?
