[OB] Roshar Death Star

[Gami he/him]

Okay, let me say I believe that chances of this happening is slim to none. But it’s pretty cool. 

 

What if Urithiru isn’t just a tower, but a giant barrel of some sort of “shardgun” that can fire into the Cosmere to other planets. 

I cant even jokingly back this up, but it’s so cool. 

Also: I’m almost positive Urithiru has a basement or sub levels.

Wasn't this where the library was? And I think Nohadon says he entered Urithiru through a tunnel in the mountains. That also suggests the presence of several lower levels to me.

I believe a Cosmere Death Star has been discussed somewhere before (might have been along with @Steeldancer and his Shardshovel) but it being Urithiru is something new. I guess they could use Urithiru to blast Braize apart, should it actually be a giant death cannon. It would probably bother Rayse a bit, but I doubt it would be that big of a game changer, unless it could fire across realms.

Well OK not really.

Is Urithiru a spaceship?

Brandon Sanderson [PENDING REVIEW]

It is not, no, good question. I've never been asked that before. It's very Sim City, though.

It's Shardkiller Base.

Urithiru is essentially the Justice League HQ, except it's a giant machine fueled by the cadaver of a god and its operator fell asleep millennia ago. 

I would like to see Urithiru turn into a giant Gundam and basically turning the book series into Howl's Moving Castle II: The Cosmere Edition

Brandon said that Urithuru was very Sim-City...

Holy crap, this is terrible.  Next book everyone's going to be trapped in pools without exit ladders, or maybe all of the toilets will disappear, or worse!

Urithiru doesn't need to be a spaceship for this theory.

Maybe the Sibling is a death-star like gun? The shard of The Dark Side?

Oh Oh! And the triple moon gravitational forces can be used to bend the trajectory of a hypothetical Shardbullet in order to reach other planet targets!

...or ...or ...Shardshuttles... in order to escape a dying ...Roshar!

I don't know if it's true or even plausible, but Roshar Deathstar is a great band name.
