  1. Okay my theory on this is based on the Iriali religion of the One, that before the beginning of creation a singular entitiy split itself into pieces to experience life. Now this can't be referring to adonalsium as people existed before the Shattering. I think that this One shattered itself into 17 pieces, those being Adonalsium, the dawnshards, and the 12 prime aethers
  2. I know this is an old thread but when I was reading the sandman something that struck me as really interesting is that the endless are a lot like shards. I'm not saying that Brandon copied Neil Gaiman, but they both went about creating their gods in a similar way. Instead of being individuals they are forces, raw components of reality and the human experience. The other interesting thing is that they characterized the gods in an opposite manner. Sanderson made the Shards people changed by the power, and Gaiman made the Endless power changed by the people. also I kinda wanna either make/ see an alternate cosmere where Adonalsium shattered into Death, Delirium, Desire, Despair, Destiny, Destruction and Dream instead of Devotion, Dominion, Ruin, Preservation etc. And also the magic system those seven would create.
  3. I'm going to be a bit more interesting and not talk about individuals who are overwhelmingly powerful more individuals with little or weak powers. I'd say that Vasher or another immortal who's had centuries of practice at swordfighting could do it without an immense amount of trouble. So that would include all of the heralds, Vasher like I mentioned, Arsteel, and Denth. I also think some of the more exceptional users of the metallic arts that aren't mistborn/feruchemists/fullborn could have a decent chance if given a good understanding of how shardplates and shardblades work. Wax could probably either shoot through the eye slits or more likely get enough shots onto a single section to shatter it then shoot the shardbearer. I also think that Spook as he was during Hero of Ages could possibly pull it off, though more due to him being able to avoid getting hit long enough after cracking a section that the shardplate could seize up.
  4. This idea was just a cool concept I had Name: Ragnarök His main powers manifest in a roughly 1 mile aura with 3 main effects. Firstly hyper localized natural disasters occur nearly constantly, earthquakes, massive storms, etc are all on the table. Secondly all living things are filled with immense bloodlust, the need to fight, the need to kill. Lastly any creature affected by this bloodlust is denied the release of death, even if the body completely lacks blood the draugr (to continue with the norse naming convention) will continue to fight until it is physically incapable of doing so. In addition the epic Ragnarök has immense physical strength, enough to throw cars around. His weakness, silence is a remnant of his time in solitary confinement shortly before the arrival of calamity, after that he couldn't stand a lack of noise.
  5. Very good, it makes me terrified and excited to learn what happens in Stormlight 5. It's also good to know who Zellion is now.
  6. Avoid asking yes or no questions. If he has no way to wiggle out through verbal loopholes than he will have to RAFO
  7. I had many theories that I came up with throughout the course of the story, all of which were wrong. Yumi and Painter made up the shard of virtuosity, this being foreshadowed by that hion lines being most likely part of her investiture and needing both parts to function. As well as the fact that Painter symbolizes the creative aspect of the shard and Yumi symbolizes the skill aspect of the shard. Both would use their form of art to do the others job/magic system. Yumi's world is the physical realm and the city that painter lives in is in shadesmar
  8. an interesting concept could be that the crew has a contact in the ministry that has tipped them off that a fellow thieving crew, one that they have a rivalry with yet also work with on occasion may soon be raided. From their the players would have to decide whether or not to help their skaa brethren or to prepare to swoop in and fill the vacancy.
  9. It would remove your identity but not your Identity. The memories stored in a coppermind are a cognitive aspect, while Identity is a spiritual one, also while your Identity does contain part of your personality it is both more and less than that. In addition they wouldn't have they same perception of those memories that the original owner does, the Feruchemist A wouldn't necessarily gain the exact same personality as Feruchemist B. I don't think that Feruchmical memories fade any faster than normal memories, but that might just be with their original host. This may be a bit like soulstamping where eventually the spiritweb "rejects" these new memories.
  10. That doesn't seem to fit with Endowment's Intent, which is to give freely with no strings attached. BioChromatic breath is a reflection of that, once you give someone your breath it is their's truly and utterly
  11. Chromium is already a external pulling enhancement metal, you could continue with cobalt being the pulling metal. The external pushing metal could steal spacial feruchemical powers with nitionol stealing spacial allomantic powers
  12. There are also a couple of theories that lift is the nightwatcher bondsmith but they seem a little far fetched
  13. This is because the cosmere books are canonically translations (à la lord of the rings) and the terms for those parts of armor are french based in english Oh also the lack of common armor is probably due to the fact that for one thing mining for metal is a lot harder on roshar, which means that soulcasters have to pick up the slack. The second reason is due to the fact that metal armor is heavy and hard to march with, and with horses being about the cost of a house the soldiers have to most likely carry the armor on foot.
  14. That could just be via sort of winding the metals together without alloying them, if I am not mistaken the rpg has a similar item (I know it isn't really canon, but the idea still makes sense) My theory is that alloying a god metal only has an effect in the metallic art of the opposing god, otherwise the god metal more or less overrides the other metal. Old atium and malatium both are sort of the opposite of electrum and gold respectively. For feruchemy and hemalurgy all alloying does is weaken the effect of the god metal. I imagine that pure F-Atium doesn't just store youth but overall condition, while tapping you are being Ruined to your weakest stake, entropy is working against you, but when you tap pure F-Atium you become your peak self. I imagine that using lerasium alloys in hemalurgy just stores indefinitely with no loss of power (or much less)
  15. where did you hear that from? this is the closest I could find that said anything like that, and the first is more recent.
