Journey before pancakes

[Aela Nox]

I didn’t know what to put for the title hi everyone, I’m Aela Nox, 30 years old from the UK. Huge fan of Brando Sando and so on, got done reading WaT a few days back and I was itching to read some discussion and remembered there was a forum so here I am. This takes me back.. I loved browsing forums for various interests back in the day.

Some things about me:

- It took longer than it should to decide on a profile picture and cover photo and I got them mixed up at first.

- My favourite characters are probably Dalinar, Adolin and Pattern. 

- If I was a radiant I’d probably be a Lightweaver in all honesty. Mmmmmmmmm

- I will neither confirm nor deny whether I am a duck. Roshar doesn’t have ducks does it?

See you all around!

Hey there! Welcome to the Shard!

Nice profile picture! And no, Roshar doesn't have ducks, only chickens !

Which of Brandon's books have you read?

Perhaps I need a bright green chicken profile picture… 

I’ve read most of the main ones I think, Mistborn, Wax & Wayne, Stormlight Archives, Warbreaker, Elantris, Tress of the Emerald Sea and I’m currently reading Sunlit Man. Outside the cosmere I’ve read the Skyward series. After Sunlit Man I think I’m going through Mistborn and Wax & Wayne again, I’m due a re read. I need to pick up some of the novellas out there and the secret project books I haven’t gotten round to yet.

I don’t have a lot of ‘cosmere’ knowledge (ie about Shards and things like that) so I’m going to try and brush up on that.

Cryptics. They’re hilarious and endlessly fascinating to me. Mmmmmmmm

I haven’t read the series in a while so it’s a bit hazy but I want to say Feruchemy. The ability to store certain attributes and use them at will is so useful. I wouldn’t mind having Allomancy but the concept of burning metals has always felt so weird to me. And Hemalurgy straight up terrifies me

Order of Lightweavers.

Welcome to the Shard!!

Hehehehe a fellow Adolin lover, I love to see it !!

What's your least favorite character?

Do you have a particularly strong opinion of the subject of bagels?

I don’t think I have a specific but I know some of the listener storylines didn’t interest me… the concept of the listeners fascinate me but I was not drawn in. I am also not a huge Shallan fan, but I can relate to her. It’s her personality (personalities?) that I don’t particularly care for. I don’t think I’d get on with her! 

I may or may not identify as bagel.

[Duxredux he/him]

I felt obligated to chime in. Welcome fellow duck. Our flock is growing across the Cosmere.

I knew someone who identified as an Apache Helicopter. Kind of a mouthful to talk to.

What are you looking for in the 17th Shard? Interests in the forums? Reading, sharing fan theories? Role playing? Just discussing books with people who have also read them?
