Shallan postulated that Pattern was similar to a spren prince, though Jasnah was not sure as she had not been able to delve far into spren politics. If I truly think about it I think Testament was an idea Brandon had writing book 4 that wasnt planned for as so much about it doesnt make sense with what weve previously been told about Deadeyes. [29], A week later, Pattern decoded a few phrases of Dawnchant while studying with Shallan. I am not sure what I think of this theory but if Shallan did kill testament before her mother "She's one of them" could be refering to the ghostbloods and not the radiants. Unintentionally, Pattern began to mention that he only had a limited amount of time in which to learn of humans, before cutting himself off. Or at least it was indicated. Unlike her previous ventures into the Cognitive, Shallan was able to hover between the Realms instead of falling through and becoming trapped amongst the sea of spheres. First appearing in Marv Wolfman and George Perez's New Teen Titans #26 in 1982, Terra joined the Titans early in their history during The Judas Contract only to attempt to tear the team apart from within as part of a plot by Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke the Terminator. The closest is the Silver/Garnet. After all there is that Ghostblood - Davar family connection. On the path back, they found the charred remains of Shallan's hired coach, as well as the corpses of the coachman and his parshmen. Spoilers all the way through Rhythm of War.

She was startled to see him in his cognitive form, and for a moment did not realize that the symbol headed creature was her spren. In doing so, Shallan realized that the Oathgate was a fabrial and using Pattern, she activated the platform, transporting those outside to Urithiru and saving the Alethi army. Though it still remains that so many facts make a lot more sense assuming that Shallan bonded 2 Spren rather than 1, the thread was posted earlier but I'll do it again.

On 11/25/2020 at 6:54 AM, Blood Of My Fathers said. The scholar's were wary of Pattern, and thought he should be studied with caution, as he could be related to the Voidbringers. But the cryptics were determined to bond Shallan (for one reason or another), and if pattern was willing to bond her while being convinced that she'd eventually kill him, I don't see why having a deadblade would stop him. And later we get the conversation between Pattern and Shallan where Pattern is 100% convinced that some day Shallan will kill him. Her father joined the Ghostbloods but didn't mention anything about Shallan.

The bond Pattern and Shallan share grants him sentience in the Physical Realm and gives her access to the Surges of Illumination and Transformation. I think the simplest solution is that Shallan was being treated as or like a voidbringer and Dreder was a Vorin exorcist. Shallan has a bond with the Cryptic Pattern, allowing her to manifest Pattern as a Shardblade and giving her access to her powers as a Surgebinder. Also she said that she is "one of us".

Peter was the one who kept losing his temper. Nalan's little group of psychopathic Judge Judy's dont really seem likely either, its possible but I very much doubt that Nalan would not be there himself. When Shallan struggled to understand the mechanisms of the Oathgate, Pattern suggested that she should look at it from a wider context, as she had done during her escape of the chasms. Pattern explained that he had come to the understanding that he could not hate Adolin for having a blade, as humans, he concluded, did not care about the dead. 2) My assumption is that she killed her spren before the encounter with her mother.

The second man, Shallan's mother's lover, was associated with the Skybreakers and convinced her to kill Shallan because she was a budding Radiant.

However, I think the better answer is Radiant. [5] On occasion he can also manifest as a floating three-dimensional mass of twisting lines. I seem to remember some passage from WoR that describes the spirit of shallans dead mother shining from a hiding place in the wall of her father's study. [3], You are not as good with patterns You are abstract. I do have a question about how many truths she told before pattern. the timings dont make sense on Shallans powers.

When the clock chimed, Shallan realized that she was running late, and needed to get ready for her date with Adolin. When Shallan kills Tyn shes bonded to Pattern - so if it was Testament then she should have heard Deadeye screaming like every time a Deadeye has been summoned by a Radiant. My interpretation of the shining soul thing is that it's a young Shallan's broken mind playing tricks on her. Even so, he says that he was everything. "One is almost certainly a traitor to the others.". The simple answer was the true one. I personally think her mother new full well what she was and sought to kill her to prevent the return of the voidbringers. He is the spren with which Jasnah has formed the bond that affords her the Surgebinding abilities of an Elsecaller. On their way out, Pattern and Shallan imitated the Brightlord - Shallan providing the illusion and Pattern providing the voice - to prevent suspicion of their presence in the house. I won't say it's impossible, but I will say that Shallan's mother attempting to kill her because Shallan was Radiant is more likely than the opposite, given the information we have.

This one has been explained but I wasnt overall happy with it - Testamant should have appeared during Oathbringer Shadesmar trip. We also know that Ishar was instrumentalin the original creation of the Knights Radiant: "But as for Ishi'elin,his was the part most importantat their inception; he readily understood the implications of Surges being granted to men, and caused organization to be thrust upon them; as having too great power, he let it be known that he would destroy each and every one, unless they agreed to be bound by precepts and laws." Shallan, however, didn't want Pattern to understand, and to cope she began to dissociate her spren from the Shardblade that she could summon. I know we're talking about RoW in the thread, but offhand I'm not sure how much this theory touches on other Cosmere spoilers so I'm prefacing my spoiler tag :), There's a popular theory that Shallan's mother is Chanarach. There is some inconsistency as to Adolins height; he is described as both shorter and the same height as Dalinar. Inhindsight I think it was Brandon's intention to make him different, so we had a plausible reason to suspect him as the spy by the end of part 2. Both scholars agreed that Pattern was of the same order as the symbol heads that Shallan had encountered previously, although later Shallan wondered whether this particular spren had been with her in the City of Bells.
