Hoidolasium he/him Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Just started my Stormlight reread for RoW, and I came across something in the prologue. Kalak notes that blood mixed on the ground, and he notes three colors: red (human), orange (parshendi), and violet. What species has violet blood? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternal Khol he/him Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 (edited) i always thought it was from the Sleepless some other Fuana on Roshar have Violet blood though. Chasmfiends and axehounds are two examples and presuambly some cremlings and what not Edited July 29, 2020 by Eternal Khol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen she/her Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 And Brandon said cremlings will be important, so its probably their blood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsecaller_17.5 he/him Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 (edited) I think we're missing the bigger picture. Sure cremlings probably have purple blood but who is going to stomp on enough crenlings to produce a noticeable amount of blood during a battle. There must have been something larger. Axehounds bred for war? Chulls pulling seige equipment? Larkins?!? Edited July 30, 2020 by Elsecaller_17.5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepless bodies are made from cremling-like creatures, so it’s most likely their blood. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bzhydack he/him Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 Even many cremlings cannot give so many blood. Sleepless are the simplest answer, but this can be something larger. Sleepless are Aimian, after all. What else is from Aimia? Larkins. Or Laceryns, their bigger cousins with similar properties. I even have theory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNoSell Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I think chasmfiends have some special involvement in the desolations. Not sure though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sleepless, I think, assuming their hordelings were similar enough with cremlings to have violet blood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
