Difference between revisions of "Rhythm"

'''Rhythms''' are a [[cosmere]]-wide phenomenon that manifests most clearly on [[Roshar]].{{wob ref|7414}} They're a variety of beats or melodies that change in regular ways over time.{{book ref|sa2|i|4}} They are not normally audible; [[Singer]]s, Humans, and [[larkin]] are the only known species able to hear the rhythms, though others exist throughout the cosmere.{{wob ref|3662}}{{book ref|sa4|i|8}}

Apart from singers and larkin, humans also seem to have limited capability to hear rhythms. Although [[Navani]] was able to hear them after some measure of concentration, she was also able to sing the tone of Honor as well. Humans with singer ancestry, such as [[Unkalaki]], can occasionally catch them, albeit very faintly.{{book ref|sa3|37}} A [[Feruchemy|Feruchemical]] [[Connection]] medallion would be able to interpret the rhythms, albeit not very accurately.{{wob ref|753}} [[Allomancer]]s capable of burning [[bronze]] would be able to hear them on [[Roshar]];{{wob ref|2031}} conversely, if a singer were to become a Seeker or Mistborn, they'd find bronze pulses familiar, though strange.{{wob ref|11606}}
