Okay, insane theory, but - what if Taln didn't know that Breaking was an option? Remember, he joins the oathpact last, he isn't present at most of the discussion. What if for him it was like "for the good of Roshar you must suffer this torment for however long neccecary". He strikes me as the kind of guy who wouldn't really question the mechanics of this whole thing or how the apocalypse keeps restarting anyway, he'll be like "well, I signed up for this".

This makes no sense, but consider: it would be so fucking funny sad.

Stormlight Archive brain mush. SPOILER THOUGHTS.

Sylphrena has storms in her eyes.

She's the Ancient Daughter. The only spren created by the Stormfather. So precious and unique, the Honorspren felt justified imprisoning her rather than allowing her to endanger herself. And when her father dies, she feels it, AND THERE ARE STORMS IN HER EYES.

Then she and Kaladin together were able to create a new TRUE honorblade??? Made of Honor??? After Taravangian took on the Honor Shard and became Retribution and threatened all of the spren???

Syl had her own arc coming to see herself as more separate from Kaladin, as independent with a destiny of her own. She's cosigned this new evolution with Kal, but it feels like she's got another independent evolution happening.

I believe entirely that something was passed to her in that moment when the Stormfather died. Maybe that independent part of Honor that infused his Avatar? Maybe something bigger that Taravangian can never reclaim with the Oathpact reforged?

Cannot wait to see her 10 years down the road.
