  1. Yes. Possessing neither strength nor guile I am sought to bludgeon obedience from men And to persuade the minds of gods. She's a little kid, so she isn't strong or smart enough to make anyone do anything yet. She was kidnapped so Denth could force her father to change his position in the court debates and convince the gods to declare war on Idris. Born of plenty that refuses gain, Her father inherited a fortune, but won't accept any payment for his own work. I raised wrath in the greatest god When Vasher (who's also Peacegiver, the most important god in the Hallandren religion) saw her in the cage he went into a rage and killed everyone in sight, and I don't think Nightblood was responsible for much of it. And the pity in the eldest god's child. This one's about Vivenna's reaction to seeing her in the cage As an Idrian royal, Vivenna is directly descended from the First Returned--the original god of the Iridescent Tones, even if the religion wasn't founded for years after his death. Gone with a fountain spray of gold, When Misel was taken, the thieves tipped over a carriage full of valuables, and gold went flying everywhere. Returned with shadows and howling beasts, Vasher brought her back in the middle of the night while her family's watchdogs kicked up a fuss. Between the two I note nothing worthy of thought. Vasher wiped her memory so she doesn't remember anything about her captivity. This took a lot longer than i thought it would. As I said already, Misel kind of stuck in my mind--I kinda shared Vasher's berserker rage after reading "Inside the cage was a child [...] sniffling quietly and quivering. The cage stank of human waste, and the child was covered in grime—all except for lines on her cheeks, which had been streaked clean by tears." I figured she would stick in other people's heads too and be easier to guess than she really was.
  2. No to both. Colours, welcome to the game. You'll probably have to look through your book or the Coppermind for names again if you figure it out. Honestly, I was expecting people to forget the name and answer with a character description like if you had said "the servant who got his hand drained of color when he tried to use Nightblood" instead of Lolan.
  3. No, but now we're in the right kind of character.
  4. (More of a 17th Shard thing, but Shard things are Sanderfan things almost by definition.) When you are exited to realize that your upvotes/posts ratio is 2.14, while Kobold King's is 1.859, meaning that--for the moment at least--you are averaging more upvotes per post than he is. Admittedly, I don't have a large number of posts yet, but still. (Yes, I checked my suspicions with a calculator, although the numbers have probably changed by the time you see them--colors, probably by the time I finish tying, given how fast Kobold King gets upvotes.) This one's probably been done already, but I'll go ahead and say it again; Kobold King knows he's a Sanderfan when other people make endless comparisons to him while discussing being Sanderfans.
  5. Sorry it took me so long to get back, I was distracted for a while--new book, couldn't look away, you guys read huge fantasy epics and all, so you probably know what I mean. No, it's not Clod. It is a minor character, however...maybe too minor. I was taking allergy medicine last week, and don't know for certain whether benadryl was messing with my head when I wrote this boast. It seems pretty easy to me...but then I know the answer, and the character always stuck in my mind despite their minor role.
  6. It's been three days since the last guess, so I think a hint is overdue. Pulse was on the right planet. (It's in white text in case anyone wants to keep trying without a hint.)
  7. When your alarm clock disrupts an exceptionally vivid dream of being Jason of the Phone Company.

  9. I was trying to do Vin's sister, but there's almost nothing to say about her before she died and it ended up being mostly about the earring and the bit of her spiritweb inside it, so yes. Explanation of the boast about Vin's sister/earring: Greater than mere lord, I am less than human; She was an Allomancer from an important house, which would make her more important than almost any lord at court; but she was also skaa, which means that the nobility considered her to be an animal and not really human at all. Least of magi, my power reached infinity's end. She was a Seeker,generally considered the least important kind of Misting (except by the Canton of Inquisition), and her power, stored in the earring, was present at the death of the Lord Ruler--the end of the Sliver of Infinity. I am small, then smaller still, dead and fading, She was a baby, then she was killed and all that was left was the earring, which suffered at least a little loss of power to Hemalurgic decay. A weapon forged by command of a god, Her mother killed her and gave Vin the earring on the orders of Ruin. To be used by a god to destroy gods, By my power are the wars of heaven decided. Her sister's power in the earring helped Vin defeat the Lord Ruler (or at least to survive long enough to do it). Vin and the Lord Ruler were both worshiped and the Lord Ruler's death gave Ruin his chance at freedom, eventually letting him kill the weakened Preservation. Destruction and madness follow my passage; The earring provides a direct link to Ruin, letting Vin hear his voice and see hallucinations of him. When my small strength is brought forth What was always hidden is revealed. Using the extra Allomantic power from the earring, Vin can pierce copperclouds, hearing Allomantic pulses that are supposed to be hidden. Light and sanity flee as seclusion dies, Though without me neither would still be. The mists--the power of Preservation, the good or 'light side' god of Scadrial--recoiled from Vin while she had the earring in. Without the extra power, Vin would probably have died before Preservation did, allowing Ruin his victory in the end. Death comes from the giver of life; Vin's sister was killed by her own mother. Continuation is ensured by the slayer of men. The only bit of her still around--a fragment of spiritweb--is kept in an earring belonging to Vin, who has killed hundreds of people. For that matter, Vin ensured the continued existence of basically everyone on Scadrial.
