Just pieced this together and have yet to hear anyone say it before
So we all know the start of the Stormlight Archive and how it starts 3 times; the Prelude, the Prologue, and Chapter 1
It made me realize. Each beginning is representative of a Shard on Roshar
The Prelude is Cultivation, as it is cultivating the seeds for the story and world.
The Prologue is Odium, as Szeth works for the agents of Odium (both the Parshendi who hire him and ultimately for Taravangian who becomes Odium in the end of Rhythm of War)
Finally, Chapter 1 is Honor. Chapter 1 is a Kaladin flashback who is seen in a battle during a war as a squadleader after the events of the Prologue, where “honor” is used to justify said war. Kaladin ultimately becomes Herald of the Windrunners which bond honorspren.
Thought i’d share my thoughts as ive been stewing over the series since finishing it :)
