Can't speak to the others, but I am pretty sure normal Humans can digest shells, we mostly just find them unpleasant to eat. heck, some types of shells are basically calcium carbonate, which is what they make antacids out of. 1

True, but one must wonder why they eat shells. Are they the only available food source? Are their teeth stronger than those of most humans?

We get it from greens and milk, but neither of those is exactly easy to come by on Roshar. 1

RShara she/her Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 21 hours ago, Feruchemist said: How and why do herdazians have "crystalline" black fingernails? How and why can horneaters digest shells? If an investiture-powered eternal motion machine was constructed, what could one do with it? Can investiture move faster than the speed of light? Because they have some singer blood, so the fingernails are like carapace. Horneaters also have singer blood, and have extra mouth parts (teeth? teeth ridges?) to help them chew and eat shells. They might have some extra enzymes to help them digest too.

Is that information about herdazians in OB? If so, my failure to have read it by now would explain my ignorance.

LiquidBlue Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Did the heralds have something similar to shardplate? Can soul casting return something to it's previous state? For example, can you soulcast ashes to recreate a document that was burned? 1
TheEdgedancer Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 What is exacltly/precisely is the relationship between Shards and magic systems. (If Rafo'd, follow up is: Does the relationship also have something to do with Shardic interplay?) Are Honor and Cultivation the only Shards related to Surgebinding? Why does Honor (as an individual and his Investiture) seem to be more involved in Surgebinding than Cultivation? Havee we just not seen/realized Cultivations affect on Surgebinding in full? Is there a magic system just related to Honor?
Gavtyven he/him Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 Did Hoid have a personal relationship to Adonalsium, friendly, familial or romantic?
Feruchemist he/him Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Was Adonalsium male, female, or some other gender? How large is the Cosmere (galaxy-sized, dwarf galaxy-sized, universe-sized, et cetera) Edited November 16, 2018 by Feruchemist

The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted November 16, 2018 Posted November 16, 2018 And I remember somewhere that the cosmere is a dwarf galaxy/star cluster.
Gavtyven he/him Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Considering Hoid bonded a Cryptic, could you name one of his truths, or would Hoid be content with only the abilities he gained by speaking the first ideal?
Feruchemist he/him Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Do fungi, plants, and animals exist on all inhabited Cosmere worlds? Are there any "plant-people" or "fungus-people" in the Cosmere? Can herdazians (because they have Singer blood) theoretically change forms?
Ripheus23 Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 Will transfinite numbers ever play a major role in the Cosmere?

Ethan_sedai he/him Posted November 17, 2018 Posted November 17, 2018 can Nightblood hear the Rhythms? 1
Feruchemist he/him Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Do any of the stories in the Cosmere take place in different timelines? How important are superspace concepts in atomic structure in terms of the Cosmere? What is atium's atomic structure? Do black holes exist in the Cosmere?
The Young Pyromancer he/him Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 Why have none of the Shards left the starcluster that is the cosmere?

Crucible of Shards he/him Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 1 .If Hoid were to overcome or bypass his aversion to causing harm (either temporarily or permanently) and proceeded to cause someone harm, would there be any consequences for him acting against the aversion, magical or otherwise? If so, what would they be? 2. The royal locks are an expression of having a fragment of a divine breath. Is or is not this fragment divided when a new heir is made? Is there a net increase of investiture separate from the normal net increase involved with a new Nalthian's single breath? Does Endowment maintain the royal locks directly, or is it a (cosmere) natural process?
