Late Existence Notice

[Voidmaker he/him]

I'm an ex-lurker now, relatively new here overall. Been scanning the forums for 2 months best, and decided to make an account because why not.

For any related questions, I have read all Cosmere books beside Tress (I think). Getting it on April! Just for confirmation on things, I have read Mistborn Era 1 (TFE, TWoA, HoA) Mistborn Era 2 (AoL, SoS, BoM, TLM), all Stormlight books (TWoK, WoR, O, RoW) and the novellas (Edgedancer, Dawnshard), and Elantris, Warbreaker and White Sand's Omnibus. Lastly, I've read the entirety of Arcanum Unbounded (The Emperor's Soul, Hope of Elantris, Eleventh Metal, Allomancer Jak, Secret History, Shadows for Silence, Sixth of the Dusk). Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything, and being honest I just wanted to count up all the books I've read at this point. Main point of this being, hello all! I probably will continue to lurk, just with an account.

Hey, welcome! Nice to meet you @Voidwatcher!

[Voidmaker he/him]

Nice to meet you too, @Robin Sedai!

[Edema Rue she/her]

Hi! Welcome!

[Voidmaker he/him]

Hello! Is there some sort of trend I'm unaware of? You both have 'Sedai' as a part of your names. Is there any reason for that, or did you just decide to do it randomly?

It's a suffix attached to the names of magic users in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. I'm guessing we both picked our usernames based on that. Aes Sedai

It's a bit of a coincidence, as far as I know we're the only active users with "Sedai" in our names, but we both welcome people to the Shard fairly often. It's often confusing for new people

Ah, that makes sense. Never read Wheel of Time- I probably will eventually. Thanks for the info.

Just so not only Sedais are in this thread….

Welcome!! It’s always great to have a new person here. 
 

What’s your favorite magic system?

no Robin! don't do that!

[S. Stormy she/her]

Hello there, lurky friend! Glad to have you.

[Voidmaker he/him]

Hello all! Sorry for the lack of responses, was actually doing my schoolwork inbetween lurks. @Cash67 it'd probably be one of the Metallic Arts or Awakening. If I had to pick one of the Metallic Arts in specific, Feruchemy. I've always considered it to be one of the best Invested Arts.

Foiled again….

And I’d agree @Voidwatcher, Feruchemy is one of the most useful I think.

I think one of the mods has it too, but yeah I didn't even know Robin existed when I made my username

Yeah, I'm on the discord most often, rather than here. I keep this page open for banning spambots and some other stuff, but don't participate too often on the forums.

And for that I thank my lucky stars also I think I've interacted with this mod before and they're pretty nice.

All mods are scary. I will not be convinced otherwise.

All good. Welcome!. And we're not all that scary, we're just people. In fact, there's a pretty high possibility I might be younger than a lot of new people who join.

I don't remember the interludes that well, to be fair, but I'm pretty sure that one interlude featuring the Worldhoppers at the Purelake was my favorite. Stormlight was my first cosmere book series, so I knew they were important but I didn't know how and that was really interesting to me. Sorry for the late response, by the way. I had a pretty packed day after school.

That's good to know. I've seen some moderators in some communities get really power hungry and salty... glad to know I won't have to worry about that here.
