Oversleep Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 I doubt that on Roshar, being so 10-centric, would liespren have names in binary. They're gonna be in denary, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acatnamedkaren Posted January 25, 2017 Report Share Posted January 25, 2017 I live in asia so it's very hard for me to ask questions......so feel free to ask mine Is there any race in the cosmere that can survive on a gas giant? Can any spren, splinter, cognitive shadow, shade? Someday when worldhopping is common knowledge, will there be immigration customs or something that resembles an airport on earth at Perpendicularities or on the borders of CR? Or is this already happening? How did the Vessels know what their intent is? Is this an instinctive thing? Hypothetically, if any other shard invested on Scadrial, would the resulting God-metal have it’s own shard-electron? like how Harmonium has Ruin-electrons and Preservation-electrons? Is Stormlight just invested Neon? (Element 10?!) Can Atium and Lerasium react with other substances? (AiF or LeCl or smth) Will they still hold investiture? What will happen to the allomantic/feruchemic/hemalurgic properties? Do the Sleepless(Dysian Aimians) possess prophetic abilities or superior intelligence? Is there any significance to the 10 gas giants in the Rosharan system? Does Silverlight have a central government? Does Silverlight happen to be anchored on a shard? Is there a shard that encourages adventure/research/science? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We actually do know that you can make alloys from the god metals. we see atium-gold in the first era mistborn books, and there are WOBs to the effect that Lerasium alloys could create mistings the same way pure lerasium turned Elend into a mistborn. it isn't 100% clear if there is a specific pattern to the effects of these alloys in all of the magic systems, but we do know that there are viable versions of them.

Or is this already happening? I imagine depend on the Shardworld. "Airport" on the CR's border is quite unpratical there is too space to monitor. Instead an "airport" where the Perpendicularities are, is very likely...and in some shardworld already happened (for example The Pits of Hatsin were a famous commercial route and there are structure to help the worldhoppers who made the transition. 6 hours ago, acatnamedkaren said: How did the Vessels know what their intent is? Is this an instinctive thing? It's an instintive thing....For example Harmony fel this name right (and he is a mixed intent). For a standard Vessel the Intent would be very "clear"...after all its some kind of compulsion on your own Mind. 6 hours ago, acatnamedkaren said: Is Stormlight just invested Neon? (Element 10?!) I considerate this of a couple of seconds, but actually Stormlight's propriety can't actually be matched with any real gas as for example the Mist can't be compared to real gass either. 6 hours ago, acatnamedkaren said: Do the Sleepless(Dysian Aimians) possess prophetic abilities or superior intelligence? I imagine a Dysian Aimians may boost his intellect with a specific grown of his Hordelings, so it's possible there are Spy-Sleepless and 1-2 Elaboration-Sleepless to put at work the whole informations gathered.

In Warbreaker, when Siri is teaching Susebron to read, she mentions the letter "shash," which we now know better as a Glyphair from WoK. so onto the questions: Are the two writing systems related, or is this a chance coincidence of names? If they are related, did they stem from the same source? (i.e., do the people of Nalthis and Roshar both descend from a more ancient group of people?) If I haven't gotten a RAFO yet, did the separation from these other people create the legends of being cast out of the Tranquiline Halls? Brandon Sanderson There are interesting connections around the cosmere between linguistics and some cultures. Though different groups of humans were created on different planets, the Shards all share a single point of origin. However, the Tranquiline Halls legends are not related to a Nalthis/Roshar connection. source: http://www.theoryland.com/intvmain.php?i=977#167 Edited January 26, 2017 by Dunkum update link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletSabre Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Could a non Nathalian give away their Breath with the "My life to yours, my breath become yours" command?

Jofwu Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Can't find a specific WoB, but non-Nalthians don't have Breath. Breath is not the same thing as the innate investiture that everybody in the Cosmere has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going further with this (I feel like I've seen a WoB, but I couldn't find it), can non-Nalthians with Breath Awaken? Because if they can pass Breath like a Nalthian, it makes sense that they would be able to Awaken as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect so - the "My Breath become yours" Command is arguably Awakening of a sort - but we haven't had any evidence one way or the other.

I believe that it means you can do it, but it's still up for debate in most circles. Just seems anticlimactic if giving breath to someone from offworld made it semi-useless.

So there is. It doesn't have the awakening tag on it, so I completely missed it Quote Breath, once it is given to you, it is being keyed to you--your Identity. So that transfer makes it yours to use however you want. Question So you could Awaken? Brandon Sanderson You could Awaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
