.S.A.M.K.M Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 WHat if they carve the aon-dor directly on a ship, so it gathers its own power? THe shards create the system of magic, but the magics draws it power from the same source, the universe itself, likly some thing like zero point energy, or energy draw from a vaccume. An elantis ships probally Teleports in jumps, so slowly makes it way through space, making sure its arrival point is clear. Similar to how ships acted in the nBSG. The ships it self would be styled upon the city to ensure they have power. Scadrial will first need to learn how to imbune their metalic art on to objects, so the ship can increase or decrease it weight or mass, while able to affect the passage of time around it self. So similar to Warp engines or mass effect engines. I am not sure on the numbers but this would mean that the cosmere worlds need to next to each other, or journey will be very far apart. The map of shadesmar, shows nine locations, it makes me think those nine lacations are the nine other core shard worlds, so either would allow direct travel to that planet, or that worlds version of shadesmar. THose elantrisians when they entered the pool, did they die, or simply sent some where else. Shard pools are said to be the cognitive aspect of a shard, shadesmar is the cognitive realmm. SHadesmar is said to be the means in which hoid travels the worlds. Is it possible that using the pool simply sent the being beyond the range of the faulty aon dar. Most people believed that the city symbol had stop working, but what if it was faulty instead, actting as a block to the source of energy that fueled them. Aon dars are limited by distance. It may be that the city was built in the form of an aon dar for another purpose than for power, or simply because it was pretty. WOuld explain the refuggees and the world traveling? I think Roshar could potential be able to create an FTL capable ship, using their skills at magics involving gravity, gravity manipulation could lead to wormholes or teleportation, as well as motion. THe thing is nalthis is hard to think about in terms of ship creation. ANy ship would have to be a level 4 construct similar to NIghtblood. Awakeninf depends on different factors, breaths, colors, form, commands, so it stands to reason if they make all the other the best and highest, fewer breaths will be needed. What would happen to awakening in a void, would it be able to drain power from the darkness of space of the star light. WHo say its form has to be human, a bird or sea creature could easily travel the stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wispsy Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Tbh I think kaladin with a few more oaths definitely has the easiest time with space travel.... Stormlight and pressure and gravity manipulation! Edit: stormlight so he Doesn't need to breathe! Edited December 22, 2011 by Wispsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain.Kaulu Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) If ur just gonna stroll out into the vacuum why even bother with a ship in the first place :/ Radiation shielding seems a rather good reason. Also, temperature control. There are more things in space that will kill you than lack of oxygen.

Ari Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Citation needed, but I seem to remember reading that Taldain (the place that White Sand is set on and where Badavin's shard is) is quite near Roshar, and is visible in Roshar's night sky. Perhaps space travel will first develop between those two. But then again, Scadrial might already be in future-mode by the time Roshar reached the technological level we see in The Way of Kings. EDIT: It's actually the unnamed planet where The Silence Divine is set. It's on the Wiki page for Roshar, but I can't find a citation elsewhere. We know that Alloy of Law is set before Way of Kings, but I doubt they will have reached space travel by the time of Way of Kings, as Brandon has mentioned that technological development in many ways has slowed due to the nature of society on Scadrial at the moment, and the fact that they can substitute Allomancy for a lot of technology. I suspect the second Mistborn trilogy would be set either roughly at the same time as or later than the Way of Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus Ex Biotica Posted December 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2011 Well, we know the second trilogy is 50 years post-Alloy. I do not think we know how long before Way of Kings things are in Alloy of Law, but I had assumed it was more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It possibly is more than fifty years between Alloy and Way of Kings, but remember the second Mistborn trilogy is a fantasy in a modern setting. It's the third one that involves space travel.
