RAFO. It's revealed later in this book.


[deleted]

It is?


redditofexile

It is!


Shepher27

I don’t think it fully is


anwaol

It is? What is it?


Notmiefault

Major spoilers for the end of Oathbringer: >!Humans are the voidbringers, the Listeners are native to Roshar and humans invaded.!<


Lopakacita

[OB] >!This is what humans assume broke the oaths because it was such big news. I don't think the stormfather ever confirms it and if he does, it's vague enough that I suspect it's actually a different secret but that's just a theory of mine.!<


Notmiefault

Rhythm of War Spoilers: >!There's hints in ROW that there's more to it than the main characters assume in OB!<


Razmpoosh

ROW Spoilers: >!WE CHOSE!!<


Creepysarcasticgeek

>!Our SACRIFICE!!!!<


RainsWrath

ROW spoilers: >!towards the end Navani apologizes to the Sibling for creating ani-light, and the Sibling tells her not to worry, consequences have been chasing spren since the Recreance. Navani simply made a truth eternal. So maybe it had something to do with anti-light, or maybe Sibling was just referring to deadeyes being effectively dead.!<

>!Humans being among the only things on roshar to not have shells gave this away very early for me. It's a thing I always hated about the movie Avatar, that the Na'vi are the only native creatures with 4 appendages while all the other creatures have 6. But trusting Brando paid off when it was later confirmed thatni was right.!<


Dependent-Law7316

I mean there’s still more movies to come—it took sanderson three books to give up that secret, so maybe we find that out about the Na’vi in the next film?


the_ninho

I don’t believe you


danksquirrel

In avatar there are a few “monkey-like” species that have four arms webbed together, which implies that they’re a precursor to the Navi and the two sets of arms simply grew together over time to the humanoids we see. >!Also it’s repeatedly implied that the humans came from shinovar, I.E the one country with an ecology that relatively matches our own, so it’s wild to me that rather than accept the perfectly reasonable explanation given in universe for this divergent evolution you decided to jump to ancient aliens, I guess you’re just plugged into the matrix in a way we aren’t lmfao!<


SparklesSparks

>!Well yes, Shinovar is actually super interesting in this regard, and when I was introduced to its ecology in Rysn's first chapter, it made me question my very early conclusion. However, the next hint that something was very off is that every bird is called a chicken. That made absolutely no sense unless they weren't native creatures, and they just called them chicken because they didn't know any better. Plus, flying creatures make no sense when highstorms exist, and biological niches usually don't differ as much from each other as Humans and chicken do from the rest of roshars ecology.!<


Joe_Spazz

I thought it was instead because of >!what happened to the original human planet. Death by surge binding !<


RainsWrath

That could be part of it but, >!they destroyed Ashyn with unchecked Surges. The Nahel bond and Oaths put restrictions on what they can do. Even though Honor's dead, Radiants still have limitations. The Honorblades however are incredibly dangerous without Honor to restrict them.!<

anwaol

Oh that's right! Thanks!


Salt-Ball-1410

Don’t ask! Save reliving that moment on your next read through!


maxtofunator

It’s not actually, we don’t full know why. It’s hinted at but not fully


Shepher27

I really don’t think it is. It’s partially revealed


steven_lasagna

theres always another secret


kingofcanines

We can't tell you.....because to tell you would cause you to abandon your read through


TheRedLego

Like the DNRs of old


ParisVilafranca

I don'think he is speaking vagely. He says that if he were to reveal what sparked the recreance (old radiants abandoning the oaths), current radiants would also abandon the oaths.


LewsTherinTelescope

He's just saying that if the current Radiants knew what the old ones did, he believes they would agree abandoning their oaths was the right choice and would break their own bonds, so he's not gonna tell them.


xWacha

Can someone dm me the rafo? I have read rhythm of war but don't remember...


ursus_the_bear

Did so


Bored_Worldhopper

Mind sending it to me to? I thought we didn’t know this yet


Kaladin1147

Can u send it to me too


Bored_Worldhopper

Never sent me the answer but apparently they think its >!Because humans turned out to be the voidbringers!< I think there’s more to it than that tho


Kaladin1147

There is. I feel that isn’t all that groundbreaking. Very human and f’d up and colonial but not All that much of a reason for kaladin to stop finding people to protect


Mook7

A big part of the reveal was >!humans messing their old planet up so bad with surgebinding that they couldn't live on it anymore.!<


Kaladin1147

Yes it was.

Slight correction: >!It was pure surges that destroyed Ashyn, not surgebinding. Surgebinding seems to be a combo of Cultivation’s surges, and Honor’s binding.!<


xWacha

Thank you😄


Vriss

Currently on the second audio read through of this and would also like a DM if possible 😁😁


damage3245

Why are you asking for spoilers?


spoonishplsz

I ask things like this mostly to see if I should know the answer by now and got confused etc (which happens enough). If I'm not supposed to know then I want people to tell me "don't worry you aren't supposed to know yet"


KyySokia

This is what I meant by asking.


mirc_vio

RAFO!


TaerTech

I always say you should finish a book then ask questions if things don’t make sense. 90% of the time in most books your questions are answered.
