Random though on Cultivations appearance
Eternal Khol replied to Eternal Khol's topic in Stormlight Archive
Conversely… Cultivation being affected by perception could be exactly why she made Nightwatcher to not be… because Cultivation knows what thats like. Shards also just seem so deelply integrated with… everything pretty much, that i wonder if it would be a good idea to cut herself off like that? It prob does just have to do with her liking the “spren of the world” title and leaning into it, but i like to think she cant help it anymore -

Cognitive Shadows or Spren sure, there is some effect of human perception on them. Shards? Well there are WoB that say otherwise and one specific one talking about this with Honor. Brandon has said that Shards can be affected by human perception and has even said that if Honor were alive and made a physical body that it would automatically have weird double pupils because of how he was perceived… not because he wanted to dont see why the same thing couldnt happen with Cultivation… https://wob.coppermind.net/events/402/#e13420 -

Random late night thoughts before bed lol I think i just figured out why when in human form, Cultivation wears a dress that iirc is described as being made of twigs/dirt and merging with the ground… i always though she just did that to be very extra…. I mean, there is like no other reason, but i think its actually due to the general populace of Roshar perception of her. We know mortal perceptions can affect or shape Shards/Cognitive Shadows/Spren/etc…. According to Dalinar, and im going to assume its a pretty good portion of the Rosharan population outside of Alethkar, some pretty much think of Cultivation as Mother Earth or in this case “The Spren of the world itself”… And that…. is why Cultivations dress merges with the undergrowth… because of how she is perceived as the spirit of Roshar

midnight aether speculation [sp1]
Eternal Khol replied to Stormtide_Leviathan's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I dont think Re-Shephir was made from Aethers or anything but Brandon has said that Midnight Essence is a Cosmere wide theme or phenomenon, like Lightweaving and other things. imo I think that is where their Connection lies and thats about it. They both arose from pre-existing natural pathways. But one disnt come from the other. -
Possible mistake on the RoW Back cover
Eternal Khol replied to Firesong's topic in Stormlight Archive
This is how i always interpreted it too. -
Another OP thing Bondsmiths can do.
Eternal Khol replied to Frustration's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I always thought stuff like changing age and what not was a implied Bondsmith power from the pretty early on? A spiritweb is for lack of better word, a “gathering” of Connections a person has to places, people, time, Shards, etc... I mean, its not too surprising when you have someone who has the ability to make/change Connection, and sooooo much of who someone is in the Cosmere is very directly constructed from their Spiritweb/Connections. -
Ive been waiting to see what came of this theory

I always sort of thought of the Elantrians as kinda being like Aons themselves. Aon's glow because they are pure Investiure rushing through a hole to another Realm. Elantrians are sorts the same imo, but the power is being put into a Vessel instead empty space.

On the Soul Forgery of Ashravan
Eternal Khol replied to Firesong's topic in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
So even after his Ashravans Soul/mind/whatever(too big a can of worms) went to The Beyond there shouldve still been his Spiritweb hanging around in the Spiritual Realm, which essentially denotes who someone is, what they can do and who/where they have Connected to and with and what they have gone through. Ashravans Spiritweb shouldve had a... "mark" because of the attack/his death and iirc Shais forgery just rewrote his Spiritweb so that he survived the attack. The Spiritweb is still there and they have his healed working body, the only other part they need is a "mind" which is what the Essence Mark essentially does/is with the help if Investiture. Also It was said(iirc) that after so long Ashravan might not need to be stamped anymore, and i think that is because after feeding a little source of Investiture(the Soulstamps Investiture) into an essentially empty vessel with a "program"(Ashravans Soulstamp/Essence Mark itself) over time some of the Investiture kinda stuck(like with a lifeless) and essentially gained its own sentience/sapience(?) based on Ashravan's Soul/Stamp -
Random, possibly disjointed thought. If the Dawnshard gave Sig the ability to metabolize Investiture.... what if when he became the Dawnshard he somehow absorbed his Spren, which was also a part Sig's soul, as they were bonded, and instead of just letting him use the investiture for some power as we see in SP4... his Spren just kinda became part of him

My bad, i though i was replying to someone else. Had both of us backwards.

Ok, but Im confused at how that info from the uncanonical work means that the Sho Del, in the current canon Cosmere, are in the service of anybody. You can have a god and not be in their service. p.s. I kinda hope it is still the Dragons that are their "gods". Theyre really fascinating and if you think about it, I feel like the Dragons should be some of the most knowledable beings about pre-shattering lore and mechanics(probably post shattering too) and that, imo, they should be way more important in the Cosmere. I mean, they are functionally immortal and the very first one(s) Ado created could very well still be out there. Also, i just feel that, given theyre status, they should have had a pretty big part to play in some events before/leading up to the shattering, like they were obvi too knowlegable and maybe messed something up in the past(maybe they made Fain?) and thats why they decided not to intervene or share knowledge(Frost in both Dragonsteel Prime and Stormlight Epigraphs)

Hmm, i didnt get that vibe. All we got was a description of them and that they are goods guides due to having "a direct line to their gods" We dont know that they serve these "gods" just that they have a Conmection to them
