PrncRny he/him Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I don't have my copy of WoR with me right now, but I've been reading a lot on the forums about Mraize. I'd like to see a list of all teh artifact descriptions we have thus far. I may have missed some things there. I've only listened to it twice. For instance, I didn't get at all that he might have a Tear with him.
lordofsoup Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 There is a vial of white sand, golden hair, a silver knife, some pink crystal, a few huge gemhearts, and some metal I think. Cant remember if there was anything else. I think the reason that people think he might have a tear is because we are assuming that the golden hair is the Royal Locks.
PrncRny he/him Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 Ok. Good. I knew i didn't remember a flower among his artifact. Nice to know i'm not going crazy. Now...theories as to what exactly the items are? Gemhearts are a given. But are we assuming some of these items come from other Shardworlds, based on the assumption that he is a Worldhopper?
WeiryWriter he/him Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 Here's the relevant passage: Other curiosities baffled her. A vial of pale sand. A couple of thick hairpins. A lock of golden hair. The branch of a tree with writing on it she couldn’t read. A silver knife. An odd flower preserved in some kind of solution. There were no plaques to explain these mementos. That chunk of pale pink crystal looked like it might be some kind of gemstone, but why was it so delicate? Bits of it had flaked off in its case, as if simply setting it down had almost crushed it. The pale sand is probably from Taldain. The lock of golden hair could be Royal Locks. The silver knife would point towards Threnody. The pink crystal sounds like an Aether from Liar of Partinel. The flower is probably a Tear of Edgli, because we don't know of any unusual flowers that are interesting on a cosmere level at this point... Though I guess it could be one of Patji's Fingers now that I think of it.
PrncRny he/him Posted December 4, 2014 Author Posted December 4, 2014 Shoot! There WAS a flower! I AM crazy! Lol
Arondell Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 I remember it being speculated that the thick hairpins might be hemalurgic spikes. 1

king of nowhere Posted December 4, 2014 Posted December 4, 2014 as they are described, there is nothing to suggest they are anything special. only checkov's rules dictate that they must indeed be the trophies of a worldhopper. It would acctually be a nice twist if it turned out they were a bunch of sand from the nearest beach, some blond hair taken from her last lover, an ornamental knife, a pink rock found on the ground, and a flower from the field behind the warcamp. 3

AerionBFII he/him Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 mass exodus in way of kings must have missed that I've just reread WOK and i missed it as well.... don't suppose you fancy a reread??? Already half way through WOR don't fancy diving in again just yet..
11thorderknight Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 The mythology of Rosharans getting thrown out of the Tranquiline Halls sure sounds like a mass exodus. 2

That was my interview with Sanderson and it was *definitely WoR. Zas wrote it down wrong. We discussed it in another thread and we settled on it either being the people who talked about The Long Path, or it was the Parshendi. Edited January 11, 2015 by Arthur Dent

Haemelurgic Spikes, I'm thinking from Koloss rather than Kandra Blessings or Inquistor spikes. A lock of golden hair. Royal Hair The branch of a tree with writing on it she couldn’t read. A silver knife. No Idea. An odd flower preserved in some kind of solution. That Flower whose discovery appears to be the precursor for BioChroma. That's the Tear of Edgli isn't it? That chunk of pale pink crystal looked like it might be some kind of gemstone, but why was it so delicate? Bits of it had flaked off in its case, as if simply setting it down had almost crushed it. Unhardened soul stone.
Bort he/him Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 I remember it being speculated that the thick hairpins might be hemalurgic spikes. Ooh, good thinking whoever came up with this theory. It didn't even occur to me.

RawToast225 he/him Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 No, but it was my interview. I know what was said and I know that zas wrote it down wrong.
Xaladin he/him Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Do we know what Mraize's darts are made out of? Because if they are metal .... 1
RadiantNights Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) Totally called the mass exodus I think. I posted awhile ago about all irali being world hoppers from the line in yms interlude. He says something like "we irali are of the long path of which this is the fourth planet." or some such. Even though this is from WoR cause I can't see anything form the other interludes in WoK being a world hoppers other than the 17th sharders. Edited January 21, 2015 by RadiantNights

"We are Iriali, and part of the Long Trail, of which this is the fourth land." For accuracy.
RadiantNights Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Yup that's it. That quote along with his talk of "one becoming many" aka andonalism makes me think the irali are more cosmere savy than most on Roshar. There's a word for that isn't there? Like how aware a people are of what's actually happening in the cosmere?
skaa he/him Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) @RadiantNights: We use the term "Cosmere-awareness". I don't think it's an official term, though.@ArthurDent: Maybe a mod could edit that old post to change WoK to WoR. Otherwise people finding it will keep on getting misled. Edited January 22, 2015 by skaa
RawToast225 he/him Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Yes, please change it great and powerful Mod.
Moogle Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I forgot to post this a few hours ago, but I did add a note onto the end of the post. Can't do much about the version on Theoryland. I would recommend PMing WeiryWriter directly and asking him to change it.
