So after seeing the "fourth" prologue scene, and reading the comments on here about them, i saw mention of a bunch of different theories from the other prologues. I was wondering if there was a list some where that had all the theories and/or cosmere tidbits that had been picked up from those? I read in the Way of Kings annotation that Sanderson feels he was too obvious with how he foreshadowed in them, and that means there has to be tons that I've missed. Anyways, if there isn't one big list already out there, would anyone care to share what they've found/theorized from them?

So I have looked everywhere for an answer to this question. I have seen that Marasi could use a Cadmium bubble to slow time and make herself age slower so that she could live a lot longer than an actual lifespan. Since this is the case, why isn't Wayne actually a lot older, since time is being slowed around him?

So I was looking at the old app QuizUp and was wondering if there was a section for Cosmere trivia questions. I was wondering if anyone would want to create a topic for that, or something similar like an app in the app store. It would be nice to have a little app or something to test Cosmere facts. If anyone would be willing to do this, it would be great! I mean they have a lot of other similar topics for series like ASOIAF, Shadowhunters, Percy Jackson, Divergent, Inheritance, etc. I feel like the Cosmere has way more potential than these.

I thought the KR were created to emulate the abilities of the Heralds though? If that was the case then the Heralds have to have been around before the KR, and since we know KR destroyed their home world then they had to have existed before coming to Roshar. Am I missing something? The coppermind says they were created to copy what Honor gave the Heralds. Okay this really is not adding up. If Honor didn't give them the power of the surges until they reached Roshar, how did they managed to destroy their world?

Since the KR are not originally from Roshar, and the KR were created to emulate the Heralds, did the Heralds come with them whenever they traveled to Roshar? Also, do we have any idea where they all originally came from?

In the final empire Vin calls Mistborn "The heralds of the mists themselves". Could this be connected to the Heralds on Roshar? There are 10 heralds and for some reason I'm thinking there were 10 original beads of lerasium that created the Mistborn (couldn't find the actual number anywhere, but for some reason I feel like there were 10). They're both the first of their kind and have the most power as well. Any thoughts?

If there was a place where the CS would be, wouldn't it be likely to be Roshar? Since we know the highstorms are a huge amount of investiture and they are of him? I can't think of anywhere else that still has Adonalsium investiture

Okay I have had time to reflect. All of these answers are clearly incorrect. The true writer of Oathbringer is...

Wayne? Kelsier? SPOOK??

I was also wondering if the chicken was an We already know Mraize is a worldhopper...

I didn't even read the back of the book thing for way of Kings. I never knew that was said I really like this idea that Dalinar is the Champion. It fits in really well especially since we just saw his past and how consumed by the thrill he became. Also, I agree that Shallan just doesn't fit as the champion. She doesn't seem the type to hate. She just represses. She never even hated her father (that I can remember) and he did terrible things to her life. Although, the whole image with the red eyes could just be one of her lightweavings. Szeth being the hero would make sense, but he does have an orb of odiumlight (black stormlight?) and that could possibly mean something. But I doubt it since Nightblood would not bond with someone who is evil. Kaladin is consumed by hate but again he seems to be starting to change, since he is realizing some lighteyes are honorable. (However if Dalinar does turn, the impact on him will be incredible)

I apologize, I was too excited after finding those chapters that I didn't even look and see if anyone else had spoken about this

***Spoilers for Chapter 1 and 2 of Oathbringer from Tor's website*** I was wondering who Odium's champion could be, the one with the eyes full of hate. And I feel like it is probably someone who themselves are very hateful. And I was thinking of all the major characters from the books. First of all I thought maybe Sadeas, but there a two major flaws in that. 1, he is dead and his body has been dead for a significant amount of time. 2, he wasn't really fueled by anger. He was scheming and manipulating but he wasnt doing it out of hatred. Taravangian is probably not it either. He is too unstable. Amaram did what he did because he felt it was the right thing to do, or that he was just greedy. But greed and hate aren't exactly the same. It could be Elhokar, because of the whole Jedi fear leads to hate thing. But I think there are other plans for him. I have heard people say Adolin because of the way he killed Sadeas but he didn't really kill him out of spite or hatred. He just realized that he was never gonna stop and so decided he needed to die. Kaladin has had a lot of hate throughout the entire series. Especially towards lighteyes. I could see an arc where he loses Syl for good and becomes consumed by his hatred. However, since he has seen Dalinar, Shallan, and Adolin all be lighteyed and honorable, I feel his views might (slowly) change. All the major bridge four characters seem like bad choices because they all pretty much worship Kaladin and they seem pretty honorable themselves. This made me think of Moash. That scene with him leaving the Shattered Plains cannot be the last time we saw him. And that man had more hate than anyone. I feel like Odium could pick him, and he would gladly accept the power to destroy the lighteyed civilization. Any thoughts? Any other candidates?

Yall had me dying. But if we're doing other books too.. Kingkiller: Powder Mage: Harry Potter: Star Wars: Lorien Legacies: Mortal Instruments: Hunger Games: Game of Thrones:

Okay so I saw a few of the Explain a Film Plot badly things earlier and thought they were funny, so I decided to do them for the cosmere books. I think some of them are funny, so I decided to share them. Hopefully it'll at least get a few laughs. If anyone has any more or any different ones, please post them. Spoilers for the cosmere, obviously. I'll label each one just in case though. The Final Empire: Well of Ascension: Hero of Ages: Alloy of Law: Shadows of Self: Bands of Morning: Warbreaker: Elantris: I couldn't think of any for Stormlight, hopefully someone else can [EDIT by Moderator: This topic originally was solely cosmere but has moved beyond that, so I moved this to Entertainment Discussion.]
