bmcclure7 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 If you been listening to 17th shard podcast you know that Scadrial and roshar are going to war. Who has your support and what do you think the war is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliroz-The-Confused Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 As a native of a planet 1AU from its star, with an approximately 24-hour day and an approximately 365-day year, with 1g of gravity, I have to root for the people of my sister-planet, especially if that planet has giraffes. Also, I read Mistborn first, and it's always been first in my heart. Also, Leras is, as the slang goes, mah boi, and the world he died to save means a lot to me. I imagine that the people of Scadrial are the aggressors/Invaders/Original-Belligerents, though. I can hardly imagine Roshar being successfully united for any significant amount of time EXCEPT in the face of an existential threat, so I think they'd be more likely to be the reactive party than the proactive. I presume that the war is over metals, because metals are shiny and neat, and it's only fair after the King's Wit stole the incredibly rare and shiny Lerasium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinkoln Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Definitely on the side of Scadrial. I think they would win, and I want them to win. They have the coolest magic systems and the best Shards. I also read Mistborn first so they have always been my passion. BTW you double posted this thread. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 At the moment? I'm not on a side. Once we have more information, then I'll make an informed decision. However, I am somewhat partial to Scadrial, as I agree with the philosophies of the Windrunners and Edgedancers a bit more. I'm taking this way too seriously, though. I went through this with Captain America: Civil War as well, never picked a side for real. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsdaughter613 Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Scadrial, because it’s home. And because the main characters don’t make me suicidal (cough, Kaladin, cough). On the other hand, the Survivor is very helpful in fighting through that one week a month... Thanks Kell! I don’t think Scadrial and Roshar are going to war directly though. I got very strong Cold War vibes from the excerpt. I think what we have are two powerful worlds, with fundamentally opposed philosophies, fighting proxy wars for power and resources but never actually going up against one another directly. Which is far more interesting than a simple war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustration Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Roshar, I like to root for the winner. Also SA is my home turf. Also to the OP I don't think either of the worlds will be fully united. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliroz-The-Confused Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Well yeah, Frustration, a united or semi-united Roshar would almost certainly win in the long run. Being able to Soulcast materials/food is a logistical advantage which is comparable to cheat codes. Also, Stormlight Archive is, I'm pretty sure, Mr. Sanderson's favorite, his Magnum opus, the one he's been writing in his head since the nineties at least. But Mistborn means more to me.

Well, yeah. Lord Ruler > Everyone and everything, ever (except maybe Shards). But I think the Bands of Mourning are going to be unique and impossible to replicate, like the Shards themselves, because things of that much power must be carefully controlled, lest the author lose control of the story.

Also, Mistborn will be the finale of the Cosmere. Which does indicate that our protagonists will be Scadrians. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormlight may be his magnum opus but that's because he's always wanted to do an epic fantasy. When Stormlight is over that doesn't mean he'll favor Roshar. Also Allomancy is his favorite magic system he's created so that has a special fondness for him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I have a fondness for both of the worlds. Both Scadrial and Roshar went through a lot, Rashek's Ascension and Catacendre/Ice Death were devastating on Scadrial, the Desolations were devastating on Roshar. Leras was awesome, Preservation and Ruin are awesome. I don't think I'm particularly attached to any of the Vessels of Roshar but their Shardic Intents are cool. The Heralds, Taln in particular suffered so much for the sake of Roshar. Scadrial's Earth analogue, and might be closer to home for you guys in similarities, but Roshar's that for me. So... Roshar it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roshar it is. Scadrial’s home because it was my entry to the Cosmere. And it’s characters actually help when I’m depressed unlike certain Stormlight characters (cough..Kaladin..cough) who make me suicidal. So Scadrial it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rushu42 Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Honestly, I can't pick a side without knowing the specifics of the actual war. There are just too many unknowns at this point. If we're picking the favorite planet, though, Roshar all the way. SA is definitely my favorite of Sanderson's works (I like the others too, obviously, but they're not quite the same). The worldbuilding and magic systems both interest me more, and there are so many characters that just statistically you're more likely to have a favorite. Plus, I've always preferred Paladins over Rogues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first "chapter" of the Sixth of the Dusk sequel has been revealed. It makes it almost certain that The Ones Above are Scadrians, and we got introduced to a space age Radiant. They appear to not be friendly with each other. It doesn't quite mean that they will be going to war but they are competing for resources Personally, I don't think it will be full on warfare between the worlds, nor do I think there is enough information to pick a side even if it would. I do have a preference for Scadrial though because I find the magical interactions a lot more interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
