I love Chulls! Chulls are my favorite! Who else loves chulls? Seeing realistic Chulls who actually move and live is one of the things I am looking forward to most about a posable Stormlight Archive adaptation. And so, I propose that we proactively name the first ever Chull to appear on screen. My suggestion is Charley Chullington. What are your ideas? P.S. An honorable mention to Chully McChullface, the first ever Chull to appear in Escape from the Shatterd Planes, the V.R. Experience. But this Thread is specifically in honor of the first Chull of the hypothetical show or movie.

Attention profesional dice-throwers! Lend me your advice! My friend and DM recently picked up the first book of The Stormlight Chronicles, and loves the idea of adding a bit of the universe in our dimension-crawling D&D 5e campaign. We have a few basics down, and I have the first draft of a Windrunner subclass for a monk built, substituting ki for stormlight. However, some help for creating some of the creatures of this amazing world is greatly needed. I would love to create a mini D&D expansion book adding the world or Roshar to the Forgotten Realms. I would appreciate some advice from veteran dice-rollers, as I have just reached my first anniversary of tabletop games last month. I'm looking for people to help me with everything from chulls, to axehounds, and even a parshendi playable race able to change its subrace with enough time and an extreme jump boost. Plus, the act of receiving Shardplate or even a Shardblade could be very hard to balance damage and availability, then there's waying in how much stormlight you could suck from spheres of different costs... the possibilities make my head spin, and so I REALLY don't want to screw this up. If you want to help or even have additional ideas I didn't mention, reply below and I'll get back to you guys as soon as I can.

Noone has really brought up a super awesome piece of worldbuilding added by WoR. Chull senescence. Via this image we learn that adult chulls having (as far as I know) no natural predators pupate one last time in maturty and turn into natural gardens. That's a bit of a joke but seriously folks they look really cool in the state known as Senescence. Chull drivers must feed their chulls a special diet to make sure their "cash cows" don't turn into rocks during highstorms. This is super cool, and I think it has a very real world implication. Multiple times WoB has popped up saying that the rampant slaughter of un-matured Chasmfiends known as the Shattered Plains Warwould eventually have big real world impact by greatly decreasing the population of CHasmfiends. What possible boon to the environment could these massive things be. Obviously they're going to be eating many many smaller creatures.. But what else? Chasmfiends obviously have no natural predators besides man so I postulate that Chasmfiends also acieve Senescence at full maturity. Why is this important? I don't know, but I can postulate. 1. Mountain Seed : Senescence level chasmfiends would be huge. What if the majority of Rosharan mountains started as giant Greatshell Senescence pods? Thousands upon thousands of years of crem later, BOOM, Mountains. Moutains with a big chull gemstone right in the center. Thus the Shin and Horneater reverence for the spirit of mountains. 2. Investment Release: The massive planetwide investment that Is a high storm leaves being millions of gemstones full to the brim with light. Light that slowly drains until the stone is dun? Is this invested energy used up simply thru the process of giving off this light? Or is there another answer. The Secescent Chull shown in the drawing looks ornamental, even to a spiritual nature. What if these pods are the Nexi by which stormlight leaves the physical realm to be redistributed in another Highstorm. 3. The looks super cool. I don't have any other uses for giant Senescent Pods. What do ya'll think about this? Is it significant or just super creative and cool worldbuilding?
