Does anyone else buy into the theory that Szeth & Jasnah *could* switch orders (so Szeth becomes an Elsecaller and Jasnah a Skybreaker)? I know it's kind of out there but I feel like we genuinely have a few indications there's something there.

I’m wondering about the Heralds’ relationship with their associated Radiant orders. Like obviously Nale has had a lot of influence over the Skybreakers. He’s the Herald of that order, a Skybreaker himself, and the only living one who has sworn the Fifth Ideal. Modern Skybreakers are the way they are largely because of Nale’s direction and enforcement of the order’s structure and methods.

But what about the other Heralds? Have any of them been involved with the Radiants at all, or do they try to forget? Does it depend on the Herald?

I don’t know if Jezrien was aware enough to be involved with the Windrunners before Moash killed him. We know pretty much nothing about Chanah and Vedel. I wonder what they think about modern Dustbringers and Edgedancers. Same with Pailiah and the Truthwatchers. I kind of think Ash would have absolutely no interest in being associated with the Lightweavers, and would actively try to distance herself as much as human(ish)ly possible. Batah and the Elsecallers??? Kalak is another one who I think would try to avoid any reminders of the past. Taln has been locked on Braize for 4500 years, and is now in no shape to be involved with the Stonewards. And we’ve seen how Ishar treats Dalinar.

I just think there’s a lot of potential to see how Heralds who aren’t Nale might have guided their Radiants at various points over time

As we all know, Elsecallers are the badass order of Radiants, and having your spren enlightened by Sja-Anat makes you ten times as badass. This of course begs the question:

Enlightened Elsecaller?

Isn’t it interesting how Jasnah is the ONLY elsecaller (as far as we know) despite her order and abilities being shown in book one?

Logicspren become Shardplate of Elsecallers, right?

Book describes logicspren as looking like tiny stormclouds, but right now I'm imagining Jasnah surrounded by little logic gates.

Does soulcasting involve physically traveling between realms? I’m trying to figure out how Shallan got to Shadesmar if she’s not an Elsecaller. I re-read the Kaza interlude, which describes soulcasting via soulcaster as a “familiar sensation of being drawn into the other world” but her eyes are closed, so I’m not sure if she’s physically there as well.
