Jun 12, 2019 · Odium explicitly wants to become the most powerful being in the Cosmere by killing all the other Shards. Brandon has said that he's using the promise the Vessels made to one another as an excuse to justify why he's gone after paired Shards but we know that his first target was Ambition, because he saw her as a potential rival.

Dec 10, 2017 · [All] Odium's plan for the Cosmere Ever since I learned of the Cosmere's own Big Bad, Odium, I've been wondering what the goal of an antagonist operating on such a vast scope might be. Sanderson always has a unique twist in his stories- where traditional fantasy tropes are employed, they tend to be subverted somehow.

Nov 8, 2024 · Odium uses this to start causing Singer/Human conflict and escalate into the Desolations likely hoping Honor would release the hook and let him leave if he caused enough trouble note that "Voidbringers" and Unmade display the "purple" or red-corrupted (Honor) blue, rather than the Gold or Red-Gold of Odium's true Investiture color

Nov 17, 2020 · Odium says the same things but leaves out asking the questions that made Hoid suspicious the second time. Hoid has nearly the same replies, sometimes with slightly different wording and a few extra pauses. It could just be that Odium was improving his deception on the second run through and couldn't read the memories.

Nov 21, 2020 · I know a lot of people already appreciate this, but Taravangian taking up Odium was the PERFECT move, both for Stormlight and the Cosmere at large. All this time, we've been getting conflicting views on whether Rayse or Odium is worse--Hoid clearly believes it's the man, but Harmony cautions him that the most dangerous pairing is a crafty ...

Dec 31, 2020 · Odium went on a fuckin rampage. The timing of the letters matter too. Ruin was already dealt with and folks are on the fence about the danger Odium still poses. My theory is that Dalinar is going to be called in to be that ambassador position and that's going yo be when things go real sour for the Cosmere.

May 25, 2021 · ROW, chapter 112 This is the clearest description of the Cosmere war that I could find. So yes, Odium has been using Roshar to raise an army, with which he plans to take over the rest of the Cosmere - and given Taravangian’s ideas about ‘saving’ everyone, I think it’s safe to assume that the fundamental plan is unchanged, even if …

Dec 7, 2022 · The real problem is Odium and Cultivations interaction. Read chapter 83* of RoW: Venli is practicing her stoneward powers and she thinks about all the rhythms as well as her own peoples history. She remembers the Listeners and how they rejected the war between Honor and Odium in favor of their families, "singing to love" as they escape the ...

Dec 14, 2020 · I concluded a place that encompasses both Odium and Cultivation would be responsible for many of humanities fears, much of humanities hatred, and full of mental, physical, and intellectual growth. Thinking through all of these, I postulate to you: A light that is formed from the combination of Voidlight and Lifelight would be called ...

Dec 8, 2024 · In the cosmere, even gods embodying a fundamental aspect or shard of the Primal Creator aren't above divine self-delusion.
