Drabs, maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drabs, maybe? The problem with "Drab" is that a drab is someone who has "lost" their investiture. but we need something to refer to someone that has not yet obtained any. But as far as in world terms "Drab" is the best i can think of so far. Edited September 21, 2016 by Tsidqiyah 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Darkeyes" and "skaa" would've been really nice, but both have awesome protagonists that belong to them, it doesn't quite work... I suppose we could call them Mistings, under the premise that they are still awesome people (for reading and liking Brandon), but not quite as awesome as the rest of us (who read, like, and live Brandon). But I don't like it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsidqiyah Posted September 21, 2016 Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 I actually like Skaa for those who have not yet snapped into the wonders that are the 17th shard. we are not saying they are not awesome just that they need to move up in the world. Maybe bond a Spren, join the Diem, obtain a few extra breath, pick your favorite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have a long list of questions I'd like answered, but there are a lot of spoilers... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yata Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I would recommend to avoid Selish questions....If as Brandon said, The Arcanum Unbound will be ansew to the "Sel's mistery". Probably it's better to not ask this kind of questions when the release is so near...It would be the risk of wasted questions . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't like it Maybe the term "gnat" could be used. Gnats are aluminum or duralumin mistings. From what I understand they are not that useful since burning either aluminum or duralumin by themselves doesn't really yield any useful effects 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Uninvested" could work, especially since its non-Cosmere meaning actually says "less involved" I still like skaa, despite Argent's objection. Other alternatives: Unsnapped (emphasizing potential to become more) Shades (I like how "Sharders and Shades" sounds together) Hushlanders (a good one that probably won't catch on since we have fewer Alcatraz fans than Cosmere) Dullforms Hoed 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would really like someone to ask if Wyrn is receiving guidance from Skai's Cognitive Shadow (or really any of the questions from this theory post of mine), but Yata makes a good point Edited September 28, 2016 by Amanuensis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Droughtbringer Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hushlander, while not directly related to the Cosmere, would be pretty good, it is essentially Brandon's version of muggles. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugsy Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Gahhhh, I saw that it was in Ogden, and I have an Ogden within an hour drive from me, so I got excited. It wasn't the same Ogden, unfortunately Splinters and Sharders could be a good distinction. I like Uninvested, too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottwo Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 There's another Ogden? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brgst13 Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 There's an Ogden outside Rochester NY. As for terminology, I like Duns. They have the potential to become Invested but haven't yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougpgc Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I didn't see many people asking Cosmere questions, so I felt a little sheepish, but he asked if I had any questions, so I asked a couple. :-) Is this where I'd report the answers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougpgc Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I asked him if a feruchemist were to visit Earth and tap Duralumin, could they do something as involved as talk local sports with someone? He said No -- when you trick your spirit into thinking it's from where you're currently tapping, it's not a full transformation, like Sel-ish magic making a copy.. It doesn't just fill your head with things from the place you're visiting. (So I guess it's more subtle, or maybe just includes the most basic foundational stuff like language? I'm just guessing that part because I don't remember anything else being said.) I also asked if hemalurgy could be performed anywhere in the Cosmere. Pretty sure that's something we knew already, but I asked if anyone could do it if they knew what they were doing. He said Yes. So, I continued, hemalurgy is unique because not only can the power of Ruin be accessed anywhere (not just on Scadrial), but also by anyone (not just someone who's invested). He said it is weird that way. :-) It is interesting: I can't think of any other Shardic power that's so universally accessible. I might have asked him more, but I kind of felt like it would have been taking too much time, or pressing him too much... I dunno... Maybe I was just too nervous or star struck, and since there were only 2 other people behind me after such a long line already, I didn't want to keep him long. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
