Maybe the Veristitalians will have a good scene and that is what he is referring to! I personally would love to see Jasnah Kholin queen of alethkar sneaking out of the palace with Shallan to visit a pastry shop owner who everyone knows as a women where we meet other equally diverse Veristitalians with equally awesome backstories!

Wander89 he/him Posted December 12, 2019 Posted December 12, 2019 Absolutely thrilling news! I really hope they can do another release tour in the UK!

ArdentRuby she/her Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) It gets released 2 days after my birthday. That's really nice... Except for the fact that I'm Spanish, so I'll have to wait a bit longer for it. Still hyped tho. Edited December 13, 2019 by Tristan_Hollow 1

Zelly Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Mmmm an arms race... Remember the two ardents doing flame spren measuring experiments? I think we could see them again, or at least the results of their research. I'm also really hoping for some of Navani's airships (played too much Final Fantasy growing up). Since it talks about new technology I'm guessing it's not about the Honorblades or Dawnshards. Although I think that was used to stab Jezrien must be something recently made, else why not kill the heralds ages ago? (Unless it's all part of some looooong game of Odium's....*puts down tin foil hat*) Edit: Ugh, Nov 17th will be on a Tuesday. My work week will be in shambles. Edited December 14, 2019 by Zelly
Blackwarder Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) Am I the only one who’s thinking about guns? We have a WoB that says that fabrials can replicate every surge so how about a fabrial that uses gravitation to accelerate projectiles? Edited December 14, 2019 by Blackwarder 1

Think about how much stormlight such a fabrail would need and compare it to what a couple archers can do. Guns are important because they are easy to use and cheap to manufacture not because(until the 19th century ish) they are that much better for fighting.

It stands to reason they can use void surges also. Dun Dun!

Not commenting to get into a huge discussion, just offering a counter point on why a gravity gun fabrial might appeal. Using a railgun as an analogue, you would potentially get greater range, and impact from such a gun versus conventional fire arms. The projectile could be smaller but still deal comparable damage. The absence of explosive propellants or warheads to store and handle as well as the low cost of projectiles compared to conventional weaponry would be additional advantages. Add to your gun potentially being rechargeable and not requiring gunpowder to fire could be a boon to Roshar. 2

Also Windrunners might already have this capability.
