Deleted a needless link to the SP4 discussion stream. There are so many WoBs saying the same thing that aren't spoilers for unreleased books. Placed one of them there instead. Also changed Vin's Ascension to the Catacendre. Seems weird to use her ascension as the refrence point when the Catacendre is way more important and significant.
(various fixes/updates and add theory section)

|Kaladin sees Riino's orb{{book ref|sa3|97}}
}}
Several centuries after Vin'sthe AscensionCatacendre,{{wob ref|15620549}} [[Kaladin]] encountered a member of the Ire named [[Riino]] inhabiting a lighthouse in [[Roshar]]'s Cognitive Realm.{{book ref|sa3|97}} Riino, who was posing as a fortune teller called the "Rii Oracle", possessed a globe that at least superficially resembled the Connection orb. It was large, crystalline, and glowed brightly with a shifting, transfixing light. He mentioned that the orb functioned best during [[highstorm]]s and also let it slip that only Invested individuals were able to use the orb.{{book ref|sa3|97}}
 
When Kaladin touched the orb, he was pulled into an unusual vision where colors seemed to stream all around him. He saw [[Dalinar]] in grave danger surrounded by nine shadows, and then a brief flash of what appeared to be [[Thaylen City]]. Riino was shocked that Kaladin had seen anything and realized that he was a [[Surgebinder]]. Kaladin had a headache and felt drained after the experience; he relayed the vision to [[Azure]], who was skeptical but admitted that it was possible to see into the [[Spiritual Realm]], where time loses relevance{{wob ref|6129}} and glimpses of future possibilities may be visible.{{wob ref|792}}{{wob ref|8147}} Kaladin was emphatic that his visions felt real, and some aspects of them were later borne out; Dalinar had to forcibly resist becoming [[Odium]]'s champion{{book ref|sa4|112}} and [[Battle of Thaylen Field|a massive battle]] occurred at Thaylen City.{{book ref|sa3|117}}
