Observer Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 I'm going to go from Lord Prelan to Dahkor Monk. I guess I got jealous of the Inquisitors? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamzin Ashevai Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Whoa! I recognized when the change occurred and I can only hope that I'll continue to advance as I post relevant content and can achieve a rank well above that which I now hold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akasketch Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 (edited) I went from an awakener to a spearman. I'm not sure whether I should be disappointed at losing all that Investiture, or glad that I'm kickin' it with Kaladin... Oh, wait! That's right. I'm not cool enough to do that yet; I need to get caught doing something bad in Sadeas's army camp first. EDIT: At least I'm not a Zucchini.

Delightful Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 (edited) EDIT: At least I'm not a Zucchini. Well, if you were, you could BECOME Investiture when Lift eats you. You can follow your brave and noble Calling by assissting a Knight Radiant to steal dinner save the world! (which makes me wonder. What does happen to Investiture when it's used? Does it just disapppear or is it like a rain cycle that keep renewing itself? *Cue the Circle of Life*) Edited April 5, 2014 by Delightful 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Zucchini is a noble Calling, almost as noble as that of an Oatmeal Cookie. As your Babsk, I can teach you how to be the best Zucchini you can be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MistWit Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 How did this happen to me? I was just a helpless inquisitor traveling around the cosmer and now I've been turned into an Awakend object. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MistWit Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Okay, now this is getting out of hand. I don't even know what Pahn Kahl is, which is probably quite embarasing since I'm a Cosmere fanatic. Now I either need to go find out what I am or give up reading these books and take up a mundane hobby like knitting instead. :( Edited April 10, 2014 by Inquisitor of Wit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomeness Summoned Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 You know the forum does have its own wiki that is a nice resource for refreshing yourself on various cosmere terms. There's an article on the Pahn Kahl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluefingers is one of them. I quickly went from Forger to Soulcaster. Did I just decide to stop the encroaching nearsightedness, or was it laziness?

The Pahn Kahl are also the enemies of the current Sanderson Elimination and it is getting intense! I hate me some Pahn Kahl. But yeah. Up to Oldblood now. Which is pretty obscure, only mentioned a couple times on Roshar... Hope we get more info soon. They are apparently above the Cobalt Guard, so I hope they are not problematic, could be a problem for some of our favorite SA characters... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The world may never know. I think it's hilarious that your user title stays the same for both ranks. "She Who Changes" works for both a Forger and a Soulcaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awesomeness Summoned Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 If you haven't seen this WoB yet, a little extra info on them from the mouth of the creator. Q: What are Oldbloods? A: Oldbloods are the...years ago Alethkar was ruled by a different group of people. A different, like, dynasty. It's been overturned and it's been a long enough time that they're not really a threat. But to acknowledge they're an Oldblood, they wear the tatoo that means, "We used to rule this place." And so, it's just a lineage of people in a dynasty that used to be the kings of Alethkar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Oh storms, they're old and still feel the need to assert dominance and supposedly more powerful than the Cobalt Guard. Great. Yeah, Brandon says they're not a threat, but that doesn't really mean anything. If anything it means they're more of a threat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Brandon says they're not a threat, but that doesn't really mean anything. If anything it means they're more of a threat. I'm also dying to know more about the Oldbloods. They're just so cool, and outside the whole Vorin Herald/Alethela history. Like, an entire group of people who used to rule and are still around but seem to not care? That's just asking for plot significance. Them and the Herdazians. (It might not happen, and relegate the Oldbloods to just cool worldbuilding. But even if they're not majorly important, I'd love to see more of them). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 The great thing about Brandon is that literally everything has the potential to be more than cool world building, and in his mind nothing probably is. Everything has a purpose! Without all those random hints, what would we Sharders have to dissect? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Am I the only one who sometimes feels that Brandon doesn't actually create his stories, and is merely uncovering what was there all along? It's just so magnificently detailed, it baffles me every time somebody reminds me that his worlds aren't actual things we're glimpsing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aeromancer Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Half-breed? Of what? Half-Elf? Half-Orc? Half-Dwarf? Half-Koloss? Half-Savant? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claincy Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Half-breed? Of what? Half-Elf? Half-Orc? Half-Dwarf? Half-Koloss? Half-Savant? Half skaa, half noble I think. I don't think we have had any other cases where people were expressly called half-breeds. Who knows, you might get allomancy some time down the line ; ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 Yes, Half-breed is a term used only in Mistborn, to describe a half-skaa half-noble. They're not supposed to exist and get hunted down to extinction regularly, so I'm not sure it's that much of an upgrade from being a bridgeman. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPilgrim Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Although Vin is a half-breed, so they are potentially more powerful than one may think. Considering that half-breeds are much more likely to be Allomancers than normal skaa, it is still a pretty cool thing to be. Alas, it takes quite a long time to actually become an Allomamcer here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Originators were the people who survived the Final Ascension and went on to found cities like Elendel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
