Hey There!

[Mistibournes]

Hello!

 

I'm Mistibournes, and I'm fairly new around here. I joined a little while back but I haven't posted much, so here I am. I've read all of the Cosmere stuff so far (except Allomancer Jak, due to not being good at RPGs ) and Steelheart. My favourite Cosmere works are Bands of Mourning, Emperor's Soul or Words of Radiance (my overall favourite being BoM). My least favourite is probably Sixth of the Dusk, which is just okay. I'm super excited to see Taldain, Braize, Khriss and Baon in White Sand later this year, and to get the short stories in solid form.

I'm currently reading Legion, with Firefight on my shelf. Sanderson's probably my favourite author at the moment, and the fact that he's been able to make a cohesive fantasy universe with many different worlds with their own separate cultures and magic systems blows me away!

 

Szeth, Hrathen and Denth are my favourites. Poor guys have a hard time.

 

Outside of Sanderson, I'm a big fan of ASOIAF and enjoyed reading Kingkiller Chronicles (though it has faults). I'm reading HP Lovecraft as well at the moment, which is sometimes fun and sometimes not. I've got Malazan 1-4 resting on my shelf, but can't bring myself to start another massive epic fantasy series yet!

 

I also like terrible puns and music.

 

Some miscellaneous questions, if it's okay:

 

1. What's the Spiritual Realm like? We have had direct POV interaction with Cognitive and Physical (of course), but none with Spiritual. All I can remember about it is that Soulstamps affect it.
2. What're the most commonly accepted fan theories? After coming off ASOIAF and seeing that there's a lot of popular theories like R+L=J, I can't find any in the Cosmere that are as widely known. The only one I've seen that's extremely commonly accepted is that Sel's shards Intents forms the regional Dor. I love theories, so if anyone knows any that'd be great!
3. What's a hemalurgic cookie?

Welcome!

 

For answers/speculations on your theory questions, I recommend browsing through the book-specific boards, as well as the Cosmere Theories board.  There's a ton of stuff in there, almost as big a rabbit hole as TV Tropes.

 

A hemalurgic cookie is a horrible spike disguised as delicious baked goods.  They will give you powers, but the price is too high.  Don't eat them.

There aren't really that many accepted theories that remain unconfirmed because most major questions are answered through WoB (Word of Brandon). There are a few, however, such as the thought that Frost (A dragon) was the letter writer in the a Stormlight archive. Check out the cosmere theories subsection and you should see some reasonable or likely theories, though

A 'cookie' is what the Hemarulgists over at the Dark Alley call spikes. Don't eat them, they're sharp

Some basic advice:

The green and red arrows aren't like or dislike buttons, they're upvotes or downvotes on rep. Don't downvote just because someone's disagreeing with you unless they're doing so in an unnecessarily rude way. Similarly, don't upvotes every post just to be nice, but don't be stingy if you think a post deserves them

Check out Sanderson Elimination. It's very similar to the mafia game found on other forums. There's a game starting soon if you'd like to join (http://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/53982-treachery-on-the-terris-peaks/)

Don't post twice in a row, use the edit option if you'd like to add to or edit your post

Oh, and welcome to the forums!

If you want to find out about the cookies, I have one here. You should have a bite, you'd get a very interesting and happy magical power. And possibly a voice in your head telling you how awesome you are for eating it!
