* Who is Nahodon? How is he dead? why would it matter if he came back? He was the king?
* Who is Taln, is there someone who calls himself Taln who is not? Taln is the other Herald who seems to be crazy. However, is he really Taln? Is he crazy? Someone said his eye color did not change? Go read his POV.
* Dalinar did not have an Honorblade, because the stormfather called it an abomination, and I don’t think you have to bond with an HonorBlade. So either the Stormfather lied, or Taln is not Taln, the Herald? Because a Herald would not have an dead-spren ShardBlade. (WoB: Q: At the very end of WoR, Dalinar touches a Shardblade and it screams at him. Should that particular Blade have been safe? A: No, it should not have. It's a clue that something has happened. There are other clues that something is wrong with what the story you've been told is.)▼
* There are three Honorblades out in the world. Who has them? Szeth had one, but now Kaladin has it. I thought for a second dalinar had one, but now I don't think so.
* Liss the assassin either has one of the Honorblades, or an unknown Shardblade, or is a surgebinder and has a live blade.
* What are VoidSpren, vs regular spren? There are actually three spren, one for each shard. Void Spren are Odium, but what about the others? Honorspren and Cryptics? Surgebinding spren seems to be from Honor because they require oaths. But some spren seem to have a stronger relationship with the Stormfather or with Nightwatcher, or other super-spren? (WoB: Um, there are spren of all three shards. And those spren can work within the bounds of the magic that has already been set up on Roshar.) Why would Cultivation make spren? I think Odium did it to battle the power given to the humans from Honor's spren, but what is Cultivation doing?
* What was the reason the Parshendi killed Gavilar? Were they afraid he would bring back the KR, which would cause them to bring back the Void Bringers? There was something else there.
* What is Elsecalling? (WoB: Q: Is Jasnah still alive at the end of the book, since the whole scene where she kind of appears… A: Yes, she is. Q: Why does she take so long to come back? A: Because Elsecalling is not precise even if you know exactly what you're doing, which she doesn't.)▼
* I think Parshendi are different than Parshmen. There was some phrase like “our dullform makes it easy for us to blend”. If so, then will all parshmen turn into voidbringers? Or only the Parshendi spies?
* Odium has been on Roshar for as long as there have been Knights Radiant, because the spren did not show up until he splintered Honor. And I guess we knew Honor was killed long ago, because of what-his-name’s visions, but did we know how long ago?
* Are other species able to use magic?
* Three different types of Shardblades: (WoB: You have seen three different kinds in WoK: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=977#108) 1) Honorblades, held by the 10 Heralds. Each can grant a power to those that bind with it. They are not made from Spren, they were made by Honor, and probably have a bit of his power. They are currently in the hands of the Shin, hidden and protected by them, except the 3 out in the world. 2) Standard Shardblades, two types, Live and dead, held by the Knights and given up. They are made by Spren, are actually spren in the physical realm. The blades remain even after the oaths were broken, but as dead spren, bonded to the live heart-beats of the wielder. 3) Nightblood, made on another planet (read Warbreaker), somehow in the hands of Nalan the Herald of Justice, and given to Szeth (I dont know if this is quite complete... because B said three different types where in WoK, so Nightblood would not be counted. If not, maybe just Live and Dead sprenblades are two different kinds)... (WoB: Nightblood is a very unique kind of Shardblade, but IS a Shardblade. https://www.goodreads.com/author/38550.Brandon_Sanderson/questions)▼

* why would the diagram send the asssassin to kill Dalinar and then a small group to kill the king? Why not the assassin for both? The small group was going to even blame it on the assassin. Groups have freedom to do what they want. And that group thought they had read and understood the plan, that it would be best served by killing the king. They were not doing it on the direction of Taravangian.
* Odium can affect people like Ruin did. How? '''A:''' He can affect the Parsendi when they take on the stormspren, because those spren have a hole in them like what is caused by the spikes. But Ruin could also just push the people a bit, as could Preservation. But they could only do that because they created the people. Odium can affect people also, but has to do it through the unmade. (WoB: Can Odium influence people the same way that Ruin can?... etc [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/20500-orem-library-signing-on-december-6/?p=204063 orem signing 2014])
▲* Dalinar did not have an Honorblade, because the stormfather called it an abomination, and I don’t think you have to bond with an HonorBlade.

A: Because Elsecalling is not precise even if you know exactly what you're doing, which she doesn't.) This is the ability to drop into the Cognitive Realm.

(WoB: Nightblood is a very unique kind of Shardblade, but IS a Shardblade. https://www.goodreads.com/author/38550.Brandon_Sanderson/questions) I think I am going to call this closed until I find anything to disprove it. Honor Blades, Live Spren Blades, Dead Spren Blades. And Nightblood as an extra type.
