Rhythm of War	comment	WARNING: Late Arrival Spoilers abound for previous books in The Stormlight Archive.Rhythm of War is the fourth book in Brandon Sanderson's Epic Fantasy series The Stormlight Archive, taking place on the world of Roshar, characterized by its Hostile Weather and Giant Enemy Crabs. Just as previous books focused on individual characters, Rhythm of War centers around Venli, Envoy of the Fused, as well as a secret spy and member of the Order of Willshapers.At the end of Oathbringer, the Knights Radiant were forced to largely abandon Alethkar, even though they had saved Thaylenah. Meanwhile, Odium made a deal with King Taravangian, who will act as a spy in Urithiru.The world is in dire straits. Alethkar has fallen, conquered by the Voidbringers. Herdaz has now followed, and refugees pour across the border. There is word of a plague in the west, and the new singers are flexing their muscles, trampling all over the humans who once ruled them. But even they are not free, as the Fused still rule over all with an iron fist.But Venli, last of the listeners, the traitor who destroyed her people and brought about the Final Desolation, has sworn the Oaths. For the first time in history, a parsh is a Knight Radiant—and she still sits in the enemy camp, teaching the new singers things the Fused would rather they not know.

The honorspren have been trading with the Ire, and have a jug containing Investiture, similar to what Ire was using on Scadrial. Several side characters are implied to be Terrismen. The Leader of the Ghostbloods, Thaidakar, is heavily implied to be Kelsier. Hoid calls Thaidakar "Lord of Scars", in likely reference to the numerous scars running down his arms, and notes he may have to beat him up "again" as he had in Mistborn: Secret History. The Lost Metal would eventually outright confirm this.

Then he spends the whole fight using sheets and cloth in strange ways to confound Kal's swordsmanship. Kaladin can tell that Zahel isn't Surgebinding, but he strongly suspects there's something weird going on that he doesn't know about. Readers familiar with the wider Cosmere should immediately realize that he's using Awakening. The small communication box that Mraize gives Shallan turns out to be a seon. Lift's bizarre differences from other Radiants are finally explained: She is a Radiant, but one created specifically by Cultivation, and she draws her power not from Stormlight but Lifelight. Investiture is capable of being measured by the color of Taldain sand.

Rhythm of War / int_39b8d3d6	comment	Boring, but Practical: Lirin thinks that since Radiants can heal with magic, surgeons like himself are obsolete. Kaladin points out that Radiant healing is limited by Stormlight, can only heal relatively recent injures, and there are only a bit over fifty Radiants capable of healing (mostly Edgedancers plus three Truthwatchers). Plus most of the Radiants' time is taken up in the war effort, so only the worst injures are treated by them. Even without the war going on, conventional medicine will still be needed both for injuries Radiants don't have time to treat as well as old wounds and chronic illnesses. Discussed regarding the Fourth Bridge, Roshar's first flying ship. Though it's basically a barge with very impractical operating requirements, it opens up new possibilities for mass aerial transport.

In Rhythm of War he starts deteriorating—he suffers from dizziness spells whenever he stands up, his joints are painful, and he has to climb onto a chair. Both the Fused and the Heralds are feeling a supernatural version of this due to their extreme age. Cognitive Shadows generally don't stay around as long as they have, and as a result they gradually go insane, with only the strongest minds being able to remain stable.

Rhythm of War / int_44fc28e8	comment	Honor Before Reason: The Heavenly Ones, the Fused who mirror the Windrunners, will accept one-on-one duels without any guile or underhanded tactics. Kaladin is more than happy to have the Windrunners follow suit, as inferior numbers and the fact that they can't really kill the Fused anyways means that the honorable duels are much better than the alternative for the Radiants. Observing these traditions actually results in many cases of Villain Respect and Friendly Enemy relationships, because if Bridge Four spare a Fused after defeating them in battle, the Fused return the favor later. The Sons of Honor think that all Knights Radiant are like this, which makes it ridiculously easy for Shallan to infiltrate them. They screen their recruits by making them swear to obey them and disavow Dalinar, not knowing that being a Radiant doesn't prevent lying, and Lightweavers in particular are an order built on lying. Honorspren in general behave this way, as you'd expect, but there is a stand out example. The trial has become political, and an exile is offered a pardon if he will testify against Adolin. All truths, from a certain point of view, but he changes his mind at the last minute when Adolin tells him he understands and that all he needs is the truth. Instead he starts a riot by using the podium to proclaim that Honor is not dead as long as he lives on in the hearts of men.

Rhythm of War / int_47ae290f	comment	Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: Over the intervening year between Oathbringer and this book, the battles between the Windrunner Radiants and the shanay-im Fused have become increasingly ritualized and duel-like: They fight one-on-one duels with any extras on either side hanging back and waiting their turn, and wounded on both sides will often be allowed to disengage. When challenged on this by Dalinar, Kaladin points out that the shanay-im generally outnumber the Windrunners and can replace their losses far more easily by sacrificing their civilians, so playing along with these rules helps the Windrunners more than the Fused.

One that manages to be a double Wham, both by virtue of the line itself and by who said it: Not quite on the same level, but it's been mentioned that a large part of the reason the singers turned to Odium was because the spren abandoned them when the humans came. Leshwi's reaction when she discovers Venli is a Radiant throws that all into doubt. Wham for the audience much more than for the characters: Wit, through Shallan, refers to Thaidakar, the mysterious leader of the Ghostbloods, as the Lord of Scars, and says that he should mind his own world and stop interfering on Roshar or he'll have to beat him up again. There's only one person in The Cosmere that we know of who matches that description: Kelsier. The chapter epigraphs for part 5 are a collection of the "musings of El, on the first of the final ten days". Little context is given for this until chapters 115 and 116, where he says "I look forward to ruling the humans. Nearly as much as I look forward to serving you, newest Odium." This line places the musings as happening right now, after Rayse was replaced as Odium's bearer. And it means that the "final ten days" are the days leading to Dalinar's contest of champions with Odium

Rhythm of War / int_6b2b3b59	comment	The Reveal: As with every Stormlight book, many secrets of Roshar and the Cosmere are revealed. The Sibling is still alive, and in fact is Urithiru, or at least the original structure and most of the components. They are also the child of both Honor and Cultivation together, and are powered on a combination of their respective Investitures. Stormlight, Lifelight - the equivalent attuned to Cultivation - and Voidlight - aspected to Odium - can all be manipulated by sound. It is also possible to fuse these by finding resonance between them - Urithiru is powered by Towerlight, a combination of Storm- and Lifelight, and Navani and the Lady of Wishes are able to combine Storm- and Voidlight into a fusion called Warlight. Lift is empowered by Lifelight, not Stormlight, which is one of the reasons why she seems to play by a different set of rules than other Radiants. Anti-Light can also be created by finding the tone that cancels out the respective tone of the light. Interestingly, to humans, the tones are the same, though listeners can detect the diffrence. The combination of a light and its opposite can be explosive - and also can kill a spren or other cognitive splinter attuned to that light. Metal and color, key to other systems of Investiture, affect Stormlight as well, and in parallel ways - for example, iron can be used in fabrials to create attracters, where in allomancy it can be burned to pull on metal, and it's theorized that another metal - likely steel - can be used for repelling fabrials, where in allomancy steel is burned to push away metals. Color also affects Stormlight in certain ways, and is one of the reasons why Stormlight stored in gemstones with different colors but the same underlying molecular composition have different effects with Soulcasters. Soulcasters are spren locked into a metallic shape, much like Shardblades or Shardplate. Unlike Shardblades, they seem to be at peace with their state and are unresponsive in Shadesmar, as they agreed to this situation in the first place. The reason the singers lost their minds and became unresponsive slaves is because after the last Desolation, on learning that Taln couldn't be broken, the Unmade Ba-Ado-Mishram decided to do a little Desolation all by itself, handing out Forms left and right. But because it's just a big spren, it can be trapped, and, when it was, it took the minds of the singers with it. Only the Everstorm, empowered by Odium, could reverse that. Restares, the reclusive leader of the Sons of Honor, is actually the Herald Kalak. Thaidakar, the still unseen leader of the Ghostbloods, is from another world and is suffering from a similar problem as the Heralds. Also, given comments from both Mraize and Hoid, he is strongly hinted to be Kelsier. Pattern is the second Cryptic Shallan bonded. She killed the first as a child when she forsook her oaths. The Recreance occurred because the Radiant spren agreed to it and accepted the consequences. Cultivation gave Taravangian his boon and his curse so he would be able to replace Rayse as Odium's Vessel. Veil didn't just originate as a disguise for Shallan. She's the keeper of her worst memories.

Rhythm of War / int_7a19a69b	comment	Not Quite the Right Thing: In almost any war Lirin would have many strong points supporting his absolute pacifism. Alethkar's endless wars have devastated civilians for generations simply to enrich callous nobles, and he has had to patch together many people who have returned from war changed, crippled, and shell-shocked. And Alethkar, being a strict theocratic monarchy with a strong caste system, doesn't even provide any rights to a common person that are really worth dying for. The occupying singers are even, on average, somewhere between the same as or slightly better than the Alethi Nobility. Not to mention that they're arguably in the right, as humans stole Roshar from them even after the ancient listeners tried to help them. Of course this isn't a normal war, and surrender isn't an option. Even if the singers and humans could find peace, Odium has no interest in such an arrangement, and Odium explicitly tells Taravangian that after he takes control of Roshar he plans to use both humans and listeners as soldiers in his plans to conquer the rest of the Cosmere.

Kelek implies that Melishi's imprisonment of Ba-Ado-Mishram was this to an even greater degree than we already knew. Quite aside from the way it lobotomized the singers, Kelek indicates it in some way damaged Connection all across Roshar, and he seems to indicate that this sealing is responsible for spren going deadeyed when their Oaths are broken.

When Raboniel tells Navani that Voidlight and Stormlight are unmixing opposites, just like oil and water, Navani points out that her analogy is flawed. First, water can't mix with say, sand, and yet they're not considered opposites, and second, oil and water can and do mix with an emulsifier, giving her a demonstration, and commenting that there are also plenty of naturally occurring mixtures of fat and water, such as milk. This piques Raboniel's curiosity, and the two work together to discover an "emulsifier" for Voidlight and Stormlight. In the process, they discover Warlight, the fusion of Stormlight and Voidlight, which is created through a combination of human and singer music known as the Rhythm of War.

He has enough Stormlight left at that point to survive but not to heal his broken spine, so he ends up lying in the snow for a good long while before the Fused find him. And then it turns out that Navani's attack has left him blinded in a way that Stormlight can't fix. The Pursuer, after spending the entire novel being an arrogant, self-obsessed, petty bully, gets soundly trounced by Kaladin - who at the time can't even use his Surges - in front of a crowd of singers and humans, and ends up fleeing in terror, effectively destroying his status as a fearsome Implacable Man. When he comes back to try and kill an emotionally destroyed Kaladin, Kaladin snaps from catatonia into berserker fury and brutally kills the Pursuer's body. Then he reincarnates in front of a superior who first taunts him for his failure and then uses him to try out a new weapon, one that finally kills him Deader than Dead.

This has apparently caused major problems in the past, but the Nine continue to accommodate his quirks because 1) they couldn't stop him anyway and 2) besides that he's really, really good at killing people.

Rhythm of War / int_984ef9ef	type	"Not So Different" Remark
Rhythm of War / int_984ef9ef	comment	"Not So Different" Remark: A major theme of the book is that the humans and the singers are very similar people, and that the Fused are no better than the human nobility that they replaced. One of Venli's main motivations is to get herself and some of her fellow singers out from under both the Fused and humanity's control, since as far as she is concerned both are equally bad. Correspondingly, the Fused and Radiant spren are far closer to mirror images than they'd prefer to admit. The conflict of the Desolations is eternal precisely because neither the Fused nor the spren ever die, merely finding a new mortal of the corresponding type to pair with and return to the fight. Similarly, there is attention drawn to how despite having different priorities, spren are no better than humanity either, in their own ways. Look no further than Adolin's conversation with Notum, who tells him that once the Stormfather made his bond to Dalinar, they abandoned his authority altogether rather than try to change their ways accordingly, choosing to see him as irrational instead of considering their worldview.

Rhythm of War / int_9b54d536	comment	Evil Counterpart: The Fused Leshwi is of similar rank and equivalent power set to Kaladin. The two have a relationship somewhere between rivalry and nemeses, eager to face one another and having what appears to be mutual respect in a Worthy Opponent way. They also both make certain concessions toward each other that are repaid (Kaladin spares a Fused, so Leshwi spares a Radiant in return, both are inches away from killing each other early in the book and bleeding out, but both withdraw their blades and allow each other to heal), and both wish not to put innocent lives in danger. They almost fall into Friendly Enemy territory. In fact, by the end of the book Leshwi ends up fighting on Kaladin's side...against other Fused. Raboniel, Lady of Wishes, to Navani Kholin, as emphasized, across the Occupation of Urithiru. While they're both geniuses and noblewomen who want the best for their people, Navani is a Science Hero who focuses primarily on tools over weapons, Raboniel is a Mad Scientist who has the opposite focus.

Rhythm of War / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Early on in the Shadesmar storyline, the party encounters what appears to be a fresh deadeye, a Cryptic killed only a few years ago. Turns out that this was Shallan's original Cryptic, whom she killed after it assisted her in killing her mother. Veil is the one who insists that Shallan face her past and recover her memories. Veil isn't just a disguise, and she's older than the drawing of Tyn. She's the keeper of those bad memories, and she's only holding on to them for Shallan to face them later. In the epigraphs of Part 2, Harmony notices that Wit seems more afraid of Rayse than Odium, and that this could cause problems, since the Shard is WAY more dangerous than its Vessel. He also says that they should most fear "a combination of the Vessel's craftiness and the Shard's Intent." Sure enough, Taravangian kills Rayse and Odium becomes even more dangerous than before. One of Vstim's lessons to Rysn in previous books is that no matter how worthless something appears to be, someone somewhere wants it. This turns out to be one of the Ghostbloods' motives: Stormlight is a renewable source of Investiture, and they want to be the first to put it on the market.

Each Knight Radiant is a Red Mage with two Surges, a Shard weapon and fast healing in addition to their order's powers. The Fused lack Shard weapons and possess only a single Surge, but have thousands of years of experience using it to the point that they can use some of the Surge's abilities without expending Voidlight. Additionally, Death Is a Slap on the Wrist for the Fused, so they tend to be far more aggressive than Knights Radiant. After all, a dead Knight Radiant stays dead (though their spren can bond with another worthy individual, like a Radiant squire), but a dead Fused will steal a new body when the Everstorm rolls through in a few days.

Rhythm of War / int_cda501da	comment	Killed Off for Real: Anti-Voidlight can be used to permanently kill Fused, beyond all possibility of reincarnation. Conversely, anti-Stormlight can be used to utterly annihilate true spren, not even leaving a deadeye. In addition, there is another way to kill true spren, via physically transporting them out of the Cognitive Realm into the Physical. Some, like Honorspren, have bodies close enough to Physical creatures to survive for a while, but others like Cryptics will die instantly because their bodies just cannot function in the Physical Realm. Kelek explains how Jezrien was killed in the last book. The knife was supposed to imprison him in the gem, the same way spren can be trapped, but it killed him instead because he's a Cognitive Shadow kept anchored to the world of the living with a bond, and trapping him in the gem severed said bond. Without the bond, he faded into the Beyond. Teft, Raboniel, the Pursuer, and Rayse are all permanently killed in Part Five. The first is killed with Jezrien's Honorblade after killing his spren with a raysium dagger, the second two are killed using anti-Voidlight, and the last with Nightblood.

Rhythm of War / int_d0c5fb3	comment	Impossibly Cool Weapon: Justified by Shardblades. Adolin notes that, while Radiants will use more practical sizes and shapes for their Shards in actual battle, if they are trying to make an impression they often summon their blades at an impractical size and shape. The reason most of the dead Blades are so large and fancy was that the Radiants summoned their Blades in ceremonial forms in preparation for forswearing their Oaths.

Jasnah is using the current Desolation to force through social reforms to address Alethkar's various issues that would never fly under ordinary circumstances. Examples are abolishing slavery and relaxing the Vorin caste system, and doing away with honor duels. She even mentions becoming the last queen of Alethkar, or at the very least implementing some sort of constitutional monarchy rather than the absolute one currently in place.

Rhythm of War / int_dd5faec5	comment	Only Mostly Dead: Death for spren is always weird, so Navani isn't sure exactly how "dead" the Sibling in Urithiru is. The few spren who know about it say it is "slumbering," but she notes they treat that with an air of finality. The answer turns out to be rather simpler: They were Faking the Dead. The Deadeyed spren, the ones who make up Shardblades, were already considered this - alive and mobile but not living. Adolin - and his blade, Mayalaran - proves that they can recover at least some of their faculties. By the end of the story, Shallan is nurturing Testament on the road to recovery as well. Spren can also be "killed" by stabbing or cutting them enough times that they break from the pain and go catatonic. However, while these spren don't recover on their own, unlike deadeyes they can be restored with care and Stormlight.

After recovering from his battle shock and joining the tight-knit group of Bridge Four, he didn't want to be seen as "different" like he had everywhere else in life, and so kept silent so no one would know he was mentally handicapped due to his speech patterns.

Kaladin has dozens of Windrunner squires ready to step forward, but he remains capped at about fifty Windrunners because there are only that many honorspren willing to risk bonding humans. Similarly, they haven't been able to recruit any new Elsecallers because Ivory was the only inkspren willing to defy his kind's prohibition on bonding. And only the Nightwatcher and the Sibling can create more Bondsmiths. Convincing more spren to be willing to bond with humans is why Adolin and Shallan lead an envoy to the honorspren.

While complicated by the fact that Lift's deal was with Cultivation rather than the Nightwatcher, and Cultivation always has her own reasons for doing things, Wyndle still thinks that the core issue is that Lift made a lot of unspoken assumptions with that wording, and they weren't picked up on.
