It's possible, but I think its more likely that's a mistake on Brandon's part since the books are in the first draft. He could have easily put Alethkar where the word Roshar should be, or said "on" instead of "in". But good catch nonetheless!

Hey @Chaos the soundcloud thing under the video is for death rattles one instead of two

So I just started a re-read of the Stormlight Archive, and in chapter 37 of the Way of Kings after Kaladin and Lirin go eat with Roshone, Kaladin states that he wants to use the spheres to study in Kholinar. Not Kharbranth. I'm wondering if this is intentional or is a typo or something. Any thoughts?

Yes, I completely agree. Did you get your answer from a WOB? I never thought about that before

Not much of a surprise that Hoid will probably win

I chose Scadrial, as it seems to be the most in depth system with the most applications. We have had seven books(counting SH) in Mistborn and still don't know everything that's going on. Also with the compounding and the medallions it is just awesome. Even then it was a super difficult choice as I also love Sel, Taldain and Roshar. After all, all the systems are Sanderson. They're AMAZING!

I know that the red cloud surrounding Scadrial in BoM is theorized to be either autonomy or odium. But after OB, we know that Odium sees himself as a shard of passion, or strong emotion. Then in SoS Paalm tries to "free" people from Harmony with strong emotion, or passion. To me that definitely points to Odium as the shard interfering on Scadrial Thoughts?

Yes, thank you. So it is like you put you power in a safe and the key to open or close he safe is feruchemy. So then without the Feruchemical ability, you have lost the key, but the stuff inside the safe is still yours. You then burn it allomaticaly and access the power by melting off the back of the safe. Right?

I don't know. It sure seems like they could still tap the metalmind if they made it, considering they can burn it for power. And the WOB doesn't mention him not being able to tap his other reserves. I see what your saying, but I don't feel it works that way.

They would only need to burn nicrosil to initialy get F-nicrosil then they could just tap that to store anything else. They would only need to burn nicrosil after that to replenish their supply of an attribute by compounding. Which the nicrosil ferring would also have to do.

By my understanding, when you compound, you create a new metal that when burned, gives you feruchemical powers. So my question is, does the amount of attribute stored in a burned metalmind change the amount of power you get out? Could it be similar to a allomantic metal that is a little impure and gives less power, so a not very full metalmind when burned gives less power, or is it just that if any amount of attribute is stored then burned the output remains the same.

Or they could just get a medallion that gives them nicrosil feruchemy, tap it and put a small amount in another nicrosilmind, then burn that one while tapping more of the medallion to create another nicrosilmind to store the ability of nicrosil feruchemy. Rinse and repeat until you have unlimited nicrosil feruchemy. Then do the same for every other metal to become a fullborn

I believe that they could use a shard of broken plate to fix it. If there were no pieces of pieces, then the plate would probably stay destroyed.

I dont think the in world book has to be related to the character. In WOK, Kaladin has nothing to do with the book.

Yes definitely. The first time I read it I was reading as fast as possible, and I was so confused. I've reread it and it was fine. (might have helped that is wasn't past 4am ) Anyway 10/10

I with Dalinar reforming Adonolisium. There is another quote from that chapter right after he combines the three realms along the lines of "Odium seemed small now" that could point to him uniting Adonalisium as he's the only thing bigger than a shard

Weren't the parshendi called the dawnsingers? So then couldn't the dawn shards been their shards?

"Instead he found Jasnah Kholin, looking completely nonplussed. A glow faded around her, different from the smoke of her stormlight. Like geometric shapes outlining her" This has stuck out to me. I don't know if this has been mentioned yet, but this seems a lot like what shardplate might look like. Any thoughts?

Isn't Azure Viviena? She has the Royal locks which could be why her hair was changing colors.

Or Highprince Valam returned from the dead... Or Veil... Or Vun Makak himself...

Wait... You're saying that not only Vallano is alive that he'll be important as the story?!?

I really like this. We know that Warbreaker was written for the Stormlight Archive, and I think Brandon has hinted that Zahel/Vasher will be more important in Oathbringer. Seems very plausible

Yea. Just read eveything

The Roshar year is 1.1 earth years, 500 Roshar days, and roughly 400 earth days The Roshar day is 20 Roshar hours, and roughly 19 earth hours The Roshar hour is roughly 58 earth minutes We have WoB that hours are slightly shorter and the math checks out the rest

The Brandon Avalanche for part one has begun
