Hello everyone, I havenn't checked this thread in FOREVER, so hoping this isn't considered a necro by the rules, I'm gonna answer some things. @Slimy_Slider I got most of the words on my own. Some are canon or inspired off of the English words for said thing (I'm referring to words like crem and spren, which have very english phonotactics) @Secrets Nope! I'll leave the glyphs to people with drawing skills. I'm just gonna make words and grammar @Pagerunner I'm just gonna keep guessing the words, making allowances for new vocabulary in new books. I am a bit scared, especially with regards to some of the darkeyed names, that really don't fit in with the phonotactics of the language

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Spook's backstory

For the longest time I imagined Atium as being purple

They usually get better looking covers (not sorry)

I'm making a conlang for Alethi! For those who don't know what a conlang is, it's a constructed language, or a language that people in that world speak. It will have a real grammar, vocabulary, all that. I'm making on ConWorkShop, which is a specialised website.

I'm a kindle reader!!

I was just thinking "Wait, I need to do that too"

Honestly, I think that Adolin Killing Sadeas isn't a source of brokenness from him, but a symptom. People don't just randomly go stabby stab stab at people that annoy them

See, as much as I like love subplots, especially happy love subplots, I dislike love triangles, so I was actually really happy about that. Also, as long as Shallan still hasn't fully learned to be herself, it'll pop up again -- it'll make it extra interesting with the wedding. Maybe Brandon's going for a bit of Camelot stuff?

Yes. Also: "DESTROY... ...EVIL" I always imagine that as Nightblood's voice but suddenly not cheerful and so distorted Also to everyone's speaking about Shallan: 1. When Shallan lost herself, I originally thought it would be a repeat of Kaladin in WoR and I'm happy it wasn't 2. In my opinion, what she experienced wasn't MPD but a separate thing, a product of her self delusion mixed with her powers. 3. I think her attraction to Kaladin wasn't so much intended to be a genuine option for her. To me it seemed obvious that it would eventually turn to Adolin. I think it was more intended to intensify her conflict with Veil and Radiant -- Adolin being Shallan's own choice. Finally, I though it was to get Kaladin's romantic plot started. I think it's now set up to actually happen in other books. Things that made me smile: - Drehy's homosexuality coming to the front and the shattering of the gender roles with woman fighters being accepted and Dalinar learning to write Finally: YOU. CANNOT. HAVE. MY. PAIN. Chills. And also the character change is shown so much in that one moment.

because neither are as authentic as they should be (a symbol of depression is not a depression, and modern carrots are an early example of GM) A book is like a mace

Are we allowed to say full twinborn?
