* What would happen if Kaladin hangs onto the honorblade of Szeths? Would that be a compounding of his current abilities?
** '''Answer''': Some.
** '''Answer''': WoB: Q: If a non Windrunner picked up Jezrien's honorblade would they gain Windrunner powers as well? A: Yes Q: If a Windrunner picked up that blade, would their abilities be enhanced? A: There would be some compounding but strength is not as much an issue with surgebinding as is the strength of the spren bond and how much Stormlight you are using.)

* Vasher/Zahel? Who is that? I guess we have seen him, but I dont remember who it is. I read the Vasher was on the Warbreaker planet and had Nightblood at some point.
** '''Answer''': Oh, that is the swordmaster. I thought he was a worldhopper.
** WoB: Q: How long has Zahel been slumming it on Roshar? A: For quite a long time, on this planet he can get something quite easily that is much harder to get where he came from.
** Q: Why is Vasher on Roshar? Is he trying to get back Nightblood? A: Kind of a RAFO. I won't go into all his reasons right now but there is one thing that was difficult to get on Nalthis that is much easier to get on Roshar. Going to Roshar solved that problem for him.
** Can stormlight be used instead of Breath to keep Vasher alive?. Yes. [http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1160#18]
 
* What is the [[Stormfather]], another spren or a Herald, or both? He is a god-spren. A large powerful splinter of Honor.
** '''Answer''': He is a god-spren. A large powerful splinter of Honor.
 
* Aren’t Ghostbloods an organization created by Taravangian? No? It seems his group is called the Diagram.
** '''Answer''': No. His group is called the Diagram.
 
* Vasher/Zahel? Who is that? I guess we have seen him, but I dont remember who it is. I read the Vasher was on the Warbreaker planet and had Nightblood at some point. Oh, that is the swordmaster. I thought he was a worldhopper. (Check this: WoB: Q: How long has Zahel been slumming it on Roshar? A: For quite a long time, on this planet he can get something quite easily that is much harder to get where he came from.) (WoB: Q: Why is Vasher on Roshar? Is he trying to get back Nightblood?

* What is the Stormfather, another spren or a Herald, or both? He is a god-spren. A large powerful splinter of Honor.
* Aren’t Ghostbloods an organization created by Taravangian? No? It seems his group is called the Diagram.
* Wait, Nalan is Darkness? http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/6698-missing-honorblade/ what evidence do we have for that? It seems that his description is enough.
 
* 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. 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.)
 
* 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.) This is the ability to drop into the Cognitive Realm.
 
* 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) Even though Nightblood is not in WoK, I believe Brandon meant this: Honor Blades, Spren Blades. And Nightblood. [http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=1084#15]
