The audacity of the fucking Skybreakers... everyone who is close to Radiant powers must be killed to stop a Desolation. What the fuck do you think you assholes are? Only Nale is immortal, the rest, for generations, had been budding Radiants first.

Also, why in the Final Desolation do they suddenly decide that singer law must be followed but never before that? Nale always knew that Roshar belonged to them first. And that Desolations had occurred long before the Knights Radiant had ever been founded, so clearly not the cause.

The absolute audacity.

Windrunners vs Skybreakers

Szeth and Kaladin parallels / Windrunner and Skybreaker parallels because "there is no right way". To both of them, there is no clear path. There is no solid answer.

When Kaladin faces his conflicts with Ehlokar he wants to be told what the more honorable path is but not even Syl can do that for him because morality and honor are completely individual. No one can tell you what is right.

And Szeths whole story is basically about how he can't accept that there is no right way and he that has to do what he personally thinks is best. +Their final ideal being that they become their own moral compass.

“This emotion is unfitting of your station,” the spren said, audible and visible only to him. “Do not spoil your dignity with base sentimentality. You serve the law.”

I suspect that being a Skybreaker might be actively detrimental to Szeth’s mental health and PTSD

Trying to decide if Nale would play games by house rules or not. Would he see them as breaking the rules of the game, or is the game under the jurisdiction of the leaders of the house, therefore legal but only within the property line of their home?

Guys. Skybreakers and windrunners having basic lashings means something incredible that I just realized.

People can touch black holes. And maybe survive.

Idk if lashings change in strength to match the gravity, but assuming they do a windrunner or skybreaker could just do a half lashing away from a black hole and just go touch it and then come back. Like you could go into the event horizon and return. Because your body basically isn't experiencing gravity.

You know, I bet the highspren are so smug about not being effected by the Recreance. As far as I know, there has never been a highspren deadeye. I bet they have such a superiority complex about that
