notes for Oathbringer, book three of Stormlight Archive

TWoK, WoR and Edgedancer - https://gist.github.com/learnbyexample/32e109e5cc5f72326ca01ce9bcd19fcd

prologue: to weep

  • over a year since Eshonai first found humans and the night of treaty
  • Eshonai took to Alethi naturally, any particular reason?.. her wanderings take to Gavilar, with 2 officers, 2 women, 1 old man
  • Parshendi consider themselves to be traitors, who'd abandoned their gods to be free
  • Gavilar needs their help, says he's discovered how to bring their gods back - with very special gemstone to hold a god
  • Eshonai is terrified, says they don't worship those gods, they've abandoned them
  • Gavilar is acting upon his visions - Unite them.. he thinks a threat will unite them (whom?), knows that parshmen were robbed of their ability to transform by capturing an ancient crucial spren.. new storm to reverse that and bring heralds out of hiding (who told him that)

Stormlight Archive notes for reference

last desolation

  • thunderclasts - came from stone itself
  • bodies - both human and otherwise
  • blood - red, orange, violet
  • meeting place, seems like battle in small region, not spread across whole world?
  • Kalak mostly refers to 'these centuries' not all these millennia, later says perhaps millennia
  • Ishar seeded the idea of not returning
  • ordinary men in primitive wraps, spear with bronze
  • spren not mentioned at all
