  1. Welcome, MindCanaries! (Do MindCanaries live in the birdhouse in your soul?) Glad to have you. You should come edit the wiki. It's where the real party is.
  2. Though Brandon doesn't really care about pronunciations, he specified at a signing that Jasnah is pronounced like the Greek or Hebrew "J" as a "Y" sound. So: "YAHS-nah". Also, when he says it (transcribing interviews teaches you these things ) it's "KAL-uh-din", not Aladin with a K in front. And he says Szeth as "Szeth". Not sure how else to explain it. It starts with an "s" sound but turns to a harder "z" sound in that same syllable. None of this is earthshakingly crucial to know, but, hey! There you have it.
  3. Haha. My dad used to put on Squirrel Nut Zippers to torture my mom and sister. I liked it though. Currently listening to? Te Mando Flores by Fonseca and Electricidad by Jesse y Joy. I'm... studying for Spanish... really. UPDATE: My roommate put on dubstep. So I guess that now!
  4. Dear Esteemed Sir, First of all, your avatar is awesome. Don Quixote? By Pablo Picasso? This, my friend, is a double Iberian win. (Sorry... I just came from Spanish. Can you tell? ) So: welcome! You should come and edit the wiki. It's fun, promise! Also you should check out the theory threads. They're guaranteed mindblowing. Cordially yours, Chachel
  5. Oh, you people. I'm in JoeST, KChan, and Chaos's circles. I'm a profile photo of a black bear's head. Find me, the thrill of the chase will entertain you. (Ok, so it'll take you 2 seconds.) -Chach
  6. As a fellow ex-AP art student, I can commiserate with how cramming and painting go in a sentence together. Anyway, I also love art and reading (as do many of the other people here, I can attest). As a wiki admin I feel that I should mention that the wiki needs some more love and attention (read: content) and also it would be really cool if you're into fan art at all, to contribute pictures to articles because most of them sorely need them. Welcome, welcome! -Chach
  7. Welcome all! Theorize away. You could even edit the wiki. It's fun. I promise.
  8. Geist does sound really cool, and as a general rule I think borrowing from other languages to fill English's inadequacies is a good thing. However, the problem with 'geist' is that the primary meaning understood in English is 'ghost', and that is not the meaning we want to convey. After all, Shardholders both corporeal and non-corporeal. Sorry, we're sticking with Shardholder.
  9. Aw, thanks. Congrats yourself. Your theories are mindblowing on a regular basis, so Mad or not you deserve promotion. Also I'm very exciting to join the ranks of staff as well. Thank you admins.
  10. Hello darniil! Welcome! Thank you for taking some Coppermind articles under your wing; I know a mindboggling about of work still exists to be done on it, but every edit helps. (Well, at least, your edits have been helpful so far. ) Anyway, feel free to PM me any questions about the wiki. And thank you so much for helping with the wiki! -Chach
  11. The fact that Seons didn't exist before Odium implies-- not necessarily means, mind you-- a causality. I think that the Splintering of what Aona and Skai held led to the creation of Seons, meaning that the Seons are Splinters themselves. I'm thinking they're Aona's Splinters because as magical servants they represent Aona's intent well.
  12. Yes, just thought I'd put in my two cents: I also agree that Shardholder, while not canon, is the most accurate, most concise term we have. Therefore we are using it.
  13. Ha. "RAFO. I’m going to go to dinner, guys." Cracks me up every time.
  14. Hey, sorry, I've been out. Welcome to the wiki, FirstSelector! You've been doing wonderful, wonderful things with the projects you listed on your user page. Yeah, my life is a little crazy right now (but in a good way ) but I do need to format the Brandonothology page: ...and also I'm working on chapter summaries for Warbreaker and Way of Kings, as well as trying to flesh out the basic information in the Way of KIngs pages. So if you ever run out of projects (ha!) I'd be glad to point out a few dozen more. Anyhow. Thanks for all your edits, FirstSelector!

    About Page

    Hahahahaha! I forgot about the old main page. Ah, and didn't there used to be an old "click here" redirect page to get anywhere, or am I making things up? I love the intro in Spanish. Who made it?
  16. I agree that the mystery shardbearer could be a herald. It could also be one of the Ghostbloods, as Amaram speculates: "'...why Thaidakar would risk this?' Amaram was saying, speaking in a soft voice. 'But who else would it be? The Ghostbloods grow more bold. We'll need to find out who he was. Do we know anything about him?' 'He was Veden, Brghtlord,' the stormwarden said. 'Nobody I recognize. But I will investigate.'" p. 701 (Minor note: it's called the Thrill, but lust pretty much describes it too.)
  17. My philosophy textbook is the exact size and shape of "The Way of Kings". In fact, the covers are interchangeable. Oh, the possibilities...

  18. According to the book, the visions began "a few months ago". Dalinar's timeline: A few months into Kaladin's time as a bridgeman, i.e. after he gains the loyalty of the other bridgemen, Dalinar has his twelfth vision in ch. 19: "Each of the visions was different. This would be the twelfth one he'd seen. Only twelve? he thought. It seemed like so many more, but this had only begun happening to him a few months ago." p. 295 On "The Way of Kings": "Were the words of this book the cause of his problems? The visions had started several months after he'd first listened to readings from it." p. 370
  19. Ehem. ALL OF THE CHARACTERS WE HAVE PAGES FOR NOW HAVE INFOBOXES. YAYYAYAYAYAYYY

  20. @Feather: Thank you! It took awhile to find and get a photo of, but it was worth it.

  21. If you don't hear from me in a few days from now, I've been mauled by a bear.

  22. I think it might be an sDNA case, or at least the people on Sel believe that it is. For example, when Raoden meets Galladon, he is surprised to meet a Dula Elantrian, but Galladon explains that most Dula are mixed race, with a lot of Arelish blood.
  23. Hehe, exactly. I think it should be added to his titles.
  24. Hi Luz! (You have now been conferred a nickname. Take it or leave it as you please.) I'm excited to see you join us here! I heard some guy here named Chaos/Eric also loves math. You should talk to him about the Taylor Series or fun things like that. I'm no good for that type of discussion. But I am definitely game for any kind of Sanderson discussion, so you should pop on over to the forums and discuss Brandon-ey things. I think if you haven't read Warbreaker or Elantris, you probably shouldn't read the overall theories ones. Definitely check out the threads on Way of Kings theories and Mistborn stuff. Also, if you have a spare moment, contribute to the Coppermind Wiki! I promise it's fun!
  25. Ooh, these are good questions to think about. I think that you are correct in saying that this is why the Fjordell lands don't have the Shaod. Also, my guess is that Elantrians continue being Elantrians of weakened power (but not as weak as Reod levels of zombiehood), kind of like when Raoden teleports to Teod and can barely make a weak Aon Edo to defend himself from Dilaf.
