Crackpot Theories (A game)

[Cognative]

Proof: Only the longing of a legendary item (such as the precious Scadrian Waffles) for thousands of years can fuel someone’s hatered enough to make them turn against their former crew slaughtering them one by one until finally the Scadrian Waffles will be his to savor alone.

(But what cosmere planet/country would make his favorite syrup?)

Theory: Seons are a form of spren with a greater connection to the physical realm.

[Apollyon he/him]

Evidence: Brandon’s practically confirmed it.

Theory: One of the remaining unknown Shards is Boredom.

[Thurin he/him]

Evidence: Boredom is the Shard not on a planet, because investing a planet wouldn't be boring enough. (Although I'm not sure if the Shard not on a planet can't invest a planet ...)

Theory: Adolin will bind himself to the Oathpact and go to Damnation instead of the Heralds.

[goody153]

Evidence : If Adolin is becoming a edgedancer and remember what the core oath of edgedancers(to remember those who are forgotten) which is Adolin reminding everybody of the Oathpact by being punished in damnation for it.

Theory : Shan is actually a Kandra who can use allomancy who killed Vin and replaced her.

[Feruchemist he/him]

Evidence: Vin's handwriting is shown to be excellent, and everyone knows Kandra have excellent handwriting.

Theory: Hoid is Adonalsium's original personality.

[The Tenth Pancake]

Proof: If you look up "Adonalsium definition" on Google, the first copper mind pop up describes Adonalsium as a "mysterious term used in the Cosmere". And who else is mysterious? Hoid, that's who. 

Theory: The Heralds originally started out as a Rosharan Rock band.

[+Hoiditthroughthegrapevine he/him]

Proof: It's the only explanation that fits the known facts. They were originally given Honor Guitars, and they were the first supergroup in the Cosmere to have every member play guitar. Also, they amassed a large following of groupies that played air guitars at their shows until the local spren decided they wanted to be awesome guitars too (just like the honor guitars).

Periods when the Heralds weren't touring were referred to by their devoted fans as "The Desolations".

The Recreance was the ultimate disillusionment when the Knights Radiant groupies realized that their favorite band, The Heralds, were going to be breaking up for good. Bummer.

 

Theory: Hoid created himself by laughing at his own witticism about how you can't create something from nothing, so technically existence is impossible.

 

[little wheel he/him]

Proof: Hoid is... well, Hoid. Erm... INSTANT NOODLES!

Theory: Brandon is actually the Stormfather, and he is simply telling us of his adventures.

[Apollyon he/him]

Evidence: The Stormfather is smart, and doesn't like to answer questions straight. Sounds like him to me.

Theory: The 17th Shard's real goal is to capture Alcatraz, who is Adonalsium.

[The Tenth Pancake]

Proof: Alcatraz Smedry is a Smedry. Smedrys have talents. What is his talent? Breaking things. It says in the 1st book that he has broken a chicken before. 

But if all things, why a chicken? Where else are chickens mentioned in Sanderson's book? Roshar. 

So, therefore, Alcatraz has a pretty solid connection with roshar. Why? Because he's adonalsium! And adonalsium broke into shards. Broke. So, in conclusion, Alcatraz must have broken himself into 16 pieces, and made a whole bunch of awesome world's, with chickens included.

And since 17th shard is a website devoted to Sanderson books and Sanderfan, and since we all love Alcatraz, why wouldn't we want to capture Adonalsium/Alcatraz?

Theory: The shin got their name because they used to be really hard core pranksters, and up to all sorts of "shin-anigans.

[goody153]

Proof: It's a titledrop thing(maybe namedrop is more accurate but same sense) so obviously that can't be more correct than ever.

Theory: Knights Radiant are really of Odium and Fused are of Honor.

[Life&Death]

Evidence: Since passionspren exist, and Odium is the shard of passion, all spren must therefore be of Odium. And since Kights bond spren, they are of Odium. Our good friend Kelsier taught us that there is always opposition and since the fused fight the knights, they must be of whatever fought Odium. Aka Honor.

Theory: Alcatraz broke through the fourth wall into the cosmere and became Hoid.

Edited August 15, 2018 by Life&Death

[I think I am here. he/him]

Proof: Alcatraz breaks things. Breaking the fourth wall is completely within his capabilities. But there’s not just that. Hoid’s a worldhopper. It’s almost if... he breaks the border between planets, right? And seemingly lives forever, it’s like he broke the age barrier or something. Hoid likes to break people’s sanity with his jokes. Coincidence? I think not!

Theory: All of the Shards are actually Shin chickens that have taken the Patji worm. Together, they form one massive chicken, named Elvis. 

Edited August 16, 2018 by I think I am here.
What do mean they aren’t chickens? You know what? YOU’RE a chicken!

[dashardie]

Proof: Elvis is the King. "Nuff said. Oh, but there's even more: Elvis's most famous suit of all was white, and what else is white? Shin Chickens. Also, if you took all the sequins on Elvis's suits, you would get a number with a root of 16.

Theory: Cthulu is the God Beyond

Theory: Cthulu is the God Beyond

Well obviously because Shoggoth, another Lovecraftian Myth of similar power to cthulhu that the DA utilizes is all powerful, we all know that Voidus Prime is super powerful too, you could even say God Beyond level! Therefore, Cthuhlu is God Beyond.

Theory: Siah Aimians are gentlemanly Koloss.

[The Tenth Pancake]

Proof: They are both humanoid and blue, need I say more? Amians actually used to live with koloss. But storm it, their manners we're just so unbearable, the amians moved to roshar, where they continue to pride themselves on their well cultured manners and having more than three forks for their meals.

Theory: The Ghostbloods are actually the illuminati

[Life&Death]

Proof: Three interlocking diamonds is the Ghostbloods symbol. A triangle is the symbol for the Illuminati. Both are secret organizations. A triangle has three sides. Do you need anymore proof?

 

Theory: Kronk from Emperor’s New Groove has bonded both an Honorspren (Shoulder angel) and a Voidspren (Shoulder devil) and will then ascend to the fifth oath of both of them and beyond, taking both the shard of Odium and the Shard of Honor upon himself and become a double shardholder like Harmony.

[+Doomstick he/him]

Proof: kronk is secretly Dali mar and he “must unite them” 

 

theory: the world of wot is actually scadrial era -3a and the eye of the world is the well of ascension 

[Ishar]

I haven’t read the wheel of time or Mistborn Era Three, so obviously they are the same thing.

 

The Knights Radiants were founded by a large walrus that could surgebind.

[Ashspren]

No walruses’ tusks are ever the same, and all Shardblades are unique. Thus, Shardblades are modeled after walrus tusks. Not to mention, the tusks are what give walruses their epic powers, just like spren. So when the Radiants broke their oaths, they were killing their spren, which, as corpses, returned to their original form as unique, fancy walrus tusks. 

@Ishar is secretly a glowing rubber ducky in disguise. 

[Ishar]

Where else would I get this photo?

 

The highstorms are actually caused by a bright orange squid that circles Roshar and emits Stormlight.

[Ashspren]

Get that monstrosity AWAY from me. You know how I feel about that picture, @Ishar.

Well duh! You ever hear of a Kraken? Besides, flying over a continent is tiring, and swimming is a good way for a squid to relax (trust me, I know). What else could release that much stormlight?

 

Why do you feel the way you do about the ducky, @Ashspren? Isnt it cute?

The ducky would be cute if it didn’t have FANGS and RED EYES. They ruined a perfectly good glowing rubber ducky. 

(Also, it’s an inside joke between @Ishar and me, by the other explanation is more fun. )
