Sadees' title, 'Sunmaker' is actually a linguistic error. Roshar doesn't give a cremling's foreleg about their sun.

It's actually supposed to be 'SONmaker' owing to his fathering the entirety modern Alethi nobility

Ya know, I’m listening through some of the graphic audio recordings of the Stormlight Archive, and I just got to the whole “you sent to the sky to die, assassin, but the sky and the winds are mine” scene, and can I just say, Roion got done dirty. He was one of the least terrible highprinces, and he just got thrown into the sky!

On top of my boy’s cruel and unnecessary fate, it seems like he died right before becoming a Stoneward! Think about it, the Stoneward order revolves around working with others and putting the needs of others before your own. Roion was one of the only highprinces who worked with Dalinar wholly of his own free will, and in the final battle he put Dalinar’s safety above his own fear and cowardice. If that wasn’t enough, he died in a seemingly unwinnable battle (which was pretty close to the bridge on his plateau), but through his sacrifice he gave Kaladin enough time to get there and save Dalinar, which echoes Taln pretty directly.
