Calderis Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) The Sleepless are hidden in plain sight, Unseen spies skittering by moonlight, They're creepy and crawly, And know Vorin folly, In believing that we've won the fight.

Calderis Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 A warlord of most fright'ning renown, Was drunk when his brother was struck down, He's forgotten his wife, And the Codes changed his life, Dalinar's the most badchull around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confused Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Since this thread refuses to die, I’ll consolidate my “theory” limericks here. These are the summaries of my “Magic System Components” posts. I’ve linked the posts themselves for context. General Theory All systems have Fuel and are Focused. Shards added a User and Catalyst. Mortals now can direct Their own magic effect, Like becoming a soul-forging analyst. Fuel Each system is powered by Fuel Without which no magic can do. Fuel’s usually Physical, But sometimes it’s Spiritual, Since Catalysts bring power too. Focus A Focus determines which power Is available and in what manner. Each Focus is linked To one power, I think, And Khriss calls this process “an Investiture.” User Only sapient beings are Users. Their mind directs magic and chooses The magic’s effect, And what they select Through their Spiritweb outpours and oozes. Catalyst A “Catalyst” this substance Khriss calls, For Shard power a Catalyst installs. Composed of Shard essence, Its heated tumescence Adds energy to break through Realm walls. Lines 9-10 of Yeats’ “Leda and the Swan” inspired the last two lines of this limerick. That sonnet describes how Zeus, in the form of a swan, assaulted Leda, who birthed Helen of Troy and the Trojan War. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkrunner Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) There once was a man called Nalan Who wanted to kill Kal and Shallan But foiled by lift He got short shrift Couldn't face desolations like a man (Oh, man that last line is awful) (These are a little bit better) Major WoT spoilers- Spoiler The Aiel once sang to the trees Were friends to the flowers and bees But then they were cast out By the trollocs en route And failed the Car'a'carn's needs They came from the land called Shaara That land was a great ways too far, ah Surprised the Aes Sedai Who said "My oh my!"

Calderis Posted December 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) It's that time again, and now we can do Oathbringer Limericks. Have at. The Assassin Returned with a sword, And its presence could not be ignored, When unsheathed and unleashed, Nightblood's thirst is a beast, It's a weapon that should be abhorred. The battle seemed to have been won, By the turning of men who were shunned, But then with a decree, Claimed "I am Unity." What seemed all so certain was undone. A poor start, but I know we can do better. Edited March 24, 2018 by Calderis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
