This subforum should be called Roleplaying and not Role-Playing. If enough people agree, the mods might take notice and do it. Or just roll their eyes at us but hey it’s worth a shot, I do genuinely think this

I am interested in launching a larger discussion on the epigraphs of the Way of Kings. There are several of them that I find have rather interesting and (I think) undiscovered implications (the exception, of course, being "the Letter", which has a radically different form than the others). What I want to do is to make a collective attempt at milking them for what information they are worth - attempting to find previously undiscovered connections and titbits of information - instead of using them individually in scattered hypotheses. The problem is that a normal thread would make it difficult to generally discuss interpretations and significances of them as they cover largely different subjects and themes. Some of them can be grouped together, sure, but any single thread generally discussing the epigraphs would quickly become cluttered and confounding. I think a separate sub-forum would be just what is needed for making a general epigraph discussion possible. Each separate thread could either discuss a single Death Chant or a single excerpt from Jasnah's Notebook; or discuss a group of them which seem to be linked together. This could be done in the normal Stormlight Archive forum, but I think it would be better to group epigraph threads together in a separate forum to avoid completely overtaking the forum-box and thus pushing down all other discussions.
