So with Taravangian's Ascension and the reveal that this was being planned by Cultivation, and the heavy implication that Dalinar has been set up in the same way to eventually take over for Honor...does this mean that Cultivation is planning for fucking LIFT to take over for her? Those are the only three people we know of that she personally gave boons to, and while I doubt they will all work out in the most straightforward manner...I mean, that is the simplest explanation. And it makes sense with her Intent - culling the old gods so that new ones can grow.
I absolutely love Taravangian becoming Odium, by the way. A lot of people seemed bummed that his involvement in Oathbringer ended so anticlimactically for such a hyped up and interesting villain, but I was still holding out hope he'd have major involvement due to being chosen by Cultivation. But I would have NEVER expected it to be this massive.
lol I guess we're both on the same track here
The more I think about it, I really like Taravangian's ascension. All the elaborate Diagram planning just to save a city was a letdown. I was a disappointing that that appeared to be his endgame in Oathbringer. But this is great.
