  1. ......you take your upvote and get out, you terrible person.
  2. Loved that too. even though I kind of expected it, it was still hilarious.
  3. Airsick Lowlander - second class needs to be a ranking here. That is all.
  4. well, I haven't finished, I literally just got back. so.........by "we don't know yet" he probably inferred "we don't know right now when we start oathbringer."
  5. So, just got back from the release! So hype! But, to the point. I got two books, one for me and one for a friend, and I asked for new oaths we haven't heard yet. "My Glory and my Shame" - this one seems strange, could just be a nice quote. "You cannot have my pain" - possibly seems more legit. There was a ton of people, and it was late, so maybe these aren't what I asked for, but maybe. just something cool I guess.
  6. Well, atium provides a glimpse into the immediate future, which ruin could see. Ruin was actually very bad a long term planning and seeing into the future; that was preservation's strength. So, I don't think seeing into the future is evil in the cosmere, though we can probably safely assume the reason it's considered taboo on Roshar is because it's not of Honor. Cultivation seems like a shard/intent that would go well with seeing into the future though... and I've always thought odium would be good at it too, being like a Manipulative Bastard, or a Chessmaster, and so would have to be adept at planning/predicting. I kind of like the idea that odium is messing with the diagram, though I don't think he would do so directly. My money is on Odium influencing Cultiavtion, and if the diagram is twisted or changed from what it would have been otherwise, it's because of Odium's influence on Cultivation, not through any direct action. Stuff to think about though...
  7. Seconded. They are very different things at this point; one is dead, the other alive.
  8. Shallan doesn't really have oaths to break. There's the first generic one, which is more of a way of living your life, then the next ones in her order are speaking truths, which don't seem like they can be violated. Maybe lying to herself and ignoring pattern all these years just made it difficult for him to manifest to her. Pattern never says or implies that he was dead like syl was, and there are some important differences. When syl comes back, she has full memory of before she left kaladin, whereas pattern seems to be learning it all again. Pattern also talks about coming from shadesmar as opposed to the spiritual realm (if that's even where dead spren go, it's a little unclear at this point), and he seems to also have recentish knowledge about shadesmar. So maybe he just regressed? It also could be possible that shardblade powers are granted earlier in the "oath" process for lightweavers (kaladin had to say the 3rd ideal to get it, but I don't think that was the case with shallan, since that would have made the truth she said to soulcast the 4th ideal, and would put her ahead of kaladin, which I guess she could be, but it just doesn't seem like it). the ideals only matter in how the spren view them, and I think that honorspren would be more easily offended/killed than other types of spren, especially ones that love truth and lies. It could also have something to do with the Stormfather relationship. Honorspren especially seem to answer to him, where I bet pattern answers to a different governing body. It seems like the Stormfather was the one behind syl's removal even more than kaladin's emo backslide. Just some thoughts.
  9. Well it seems like it would either be cultivation, or some other "important and female" character that we don't know yet.
  10. i like it. And, it fits with the squire idea. I don't know if that ability is relegated to those that share the leadership surge, but I think Kaladin's next big ability burst will be along leadership lines, maybe extending to followers.
  11. I think it warrants further looking-in-to. But I like it.
  12. My first thought was that Broken Sky referred to Sel, since the Shards that were there are both splintered. I doubt that the names correlate with physical attributes of the worlds. I also think the most important piece of data we're missing is who named them, and when.
  13. 16 is a special number in the cosmere, not just on Scadrial. Of course, I can't find a quote...but I'm reasonably sure that I've read it somewhere. That being said, it's probably not the only important number. Preservation chose 16 because it was significant, not because it was necessary.
  14. Going back to selling a shardblade...It would be problematic, and not just because it's a priceless artifact, or because it would implicate Shallan in her father's murder. What would you do if you really wanted a shardblade, and a small teenage girl who clearly lacks combat training said she was selling one?
