The Kraken's Daughter Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Brandon's created a wide variety of cultures for Roshar, each with their own customs, food, clothing, governments, religions, and so on. If you were in the Stormlight Archive, which one would you want to live in? The Reshi Isles and the Purelake both seem pretty cool to me.
Wyndlerunner he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Azir for me- I don't think I could live with Vorin Society's restrictions on men reading. And Azir seems like a nice orderly place to boot 3
Kelsier'sGodComplex she/her Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 I like the Purelake, it seems very relaxed, but because I'm Alaskan, I would feel more at home in the horneater peaks, with all the snow and the mountains and such.
RShara she/her Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Purelake or one of the non-greatshell Reshi Isles for me, I think. Sounds v ery relaxing. 1 hour ago, Wyndlerunner said: Azir for me- I don't think I could live with Vorin Society's restrictions on men reading.

Karger he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Kharbranth or Azimir seem to rank highest on the world happiness index. Possibly Shinovar but they don't use modern technology. How did this line get here? Edited January 13, 2020 by Ookla the Prolific
Halyo_Alex he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Probably the Purelake. I love seafood so it'd work out great in that regard, plus it just sounds fun living in a place where there's knee-deep(?) water all the time.
Elsecaller_17.5 he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Azir would have to be at the top, maybe thayelean.
Honorless he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Kharbranth, Thaylenah, Herdaz, Tashikk, Liafor and Reshi Islands sound nice. I don't want to be conscripted or not allowed to read so no Vorin (Alethkar, Jah Keved, Thaylenah (there is also the Passions, more of a philosophy), Kharbranth, Herdaz) though. Marabethia apparently has a lot of podiums for public speech but I don't want to pelted with rotten fruits or have eyes of blue & red. I also don't want to be killed when I get old, so no Babatharnam. Iri's secular society is restrictive of homosexual relationships so nope. Azir's rule regarding the same isn't in agreement with my gender identity either, so nope. Purelake sounds nice, but also sound kind of boring and fishy. The middle kingdoms we don't know much about. Shinovar sounds really obnoxious, imo. Aimia is... Aimia. Reshi, do they have anything to eat aside from fish & crustaceans? Not much, I'd wager. Okay, food is king so Shinovar it is. Edited January 17, 2020 by Honorless have > has
Ciridae Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Probably Herdaz for the food. But I forget if they are actually Vorin or just influenced the the Alethi. But I think I might like Azir or even Iri from what little we’ve seen. Purelake or Reshi Isles maybe for a couple years, but probably not forever.
Quantus he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Nothing Vorin, I like to read too much and dont want to have to sell myself into religious slavery to do it. Shinovar sounds appealing for the familiarity food and ecosystem, but they also sound like a hyper controlling theocracy, which is never appealing to me. The Horneater Peaks sound cool but maybe it's just that Rock sounds cool... still, they value food over War, which is a very good start. Reishi Islands have a similarly bloodless war style (for the humans anyway), but I dont know that I wasnt to live that tribal. Truth is I want a place that is reasonably developed, that lets me be a scholar without being a Priest-slave, ideally a fabrial-tech engineer or something equally realmic. In the past era it could have been almost any of the Silver kingdoms (as far as I know anyway) but in the modern era I think Id my best bet would be to settle in Shadesmar itself, maybe at one of the Honrspren or Cultivationspren cities. They did say there wer humans that settled in them. 1
USS bridge four he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Maybe Azir though I can’t imagine how much paper work there would be going through customs. Maybe Thaylenah or Herdaz as well. I want some chouta from Herdaz.
Aon Tia she/her Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I think I like Kharbranth, it is very metro, normally peaceful, a port city so has good trade and most likely has all types of goods and foods available. They have good medical facilities also. As long as you are not a destitute I think you have nothing to worry from silent gatherers right? And do you remember there is a huge library full of books!!

Elsecaller_17.5 he/him Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 A very meta choice. I'm firmly in the odium wins first arc camp which would make kharbaranth pretty good. 1

NameIess Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) I have light eyes, so I'll take the shattered plains, or Urithuru, so that I could be a Knight Radiant. Edited January 13, 2020 by Llstml
+Invocation Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Reshi Islands or the Purelake for me. Being able to just mess around in the water in everyday life would be a dream come true, impending apocalypse of ancestral hatred or no.

I didn't think about that idea. If only I wasn't well below Alethi height average. 59 minutes ago, Truthwatcher_17.5 said: Dark brown here, that rules out any strict vorin nations. PEASANT /s 1
+robardin he/him Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Kharbranth, especially if I could marry a native, because Odium has promised to spare "the city itself, and any humans who have been born into it, along with their spouses. This is whom I will spare." So even if I found a way to work for the good of Team Radiant, the backup plan would still see me come out alive. 2 hours ago, Truthwatcher_17.5 said: Dark brown here, that rules out any strict vorin nations. Bah, you just have to get a Nahel bond and Bob's your uncle. If not Dalinar.
earthexile Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 The Reshi Isles sound like my kind of place to live, with all the tropical debauchery and bloodless conflicts. Naked ladies of every ethnicity sounds nice too.
Mage of Lirigon he/him Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Liafor sounds like a nice country to live in.
Kalaksbreath he/him Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Any Vorin country (I have blue eyes).

Winds Alight she/her Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Purelake!!! Second choice Reshi Isles.
