Shardcast - Oathbringer Tour Words of Brandon Part 3

I think that @KChan figured out Hoid's purpose in the Cosmere. It has to do with removing Large Sticks in Certain Places.

I spat some pop out when I heard that bit, funny stuff.

I also really like the Fanfic idea for backseat sharding, might be best if the new shard is the son or daughter of the cognitive shadow of the old shard who is sticking around eternity to point out their failings. Thinking something along the lines of a Jewish mother who could say things like "Back when I held the power of Preservation, strawberry jam stayed fresh for 3 weeks, but look at your jam, just look it at. It rots in a couple of days. And you call yourself Preservation".

Thanks for the long guided tour through the Oathbringer release tour Words of Brandon, I thought all 3 episodes were great.

Hmm. I wonder what would happen if someone stored a bunch of identity, became a Soulcasting savant, and then tapped it. What effect would that have on the smoke monster things? 

So I was thinking about the mechanics of the painting Kaladin sees and I wonder if part of how i works, in addition to being painted by an invested person, is that the paint is made with Tears of Edgli. 

Also, loving the podcast.

Dalinar is a Ta'Veren.

I'm REALLY loving the new reincarnation of Shardcast, I listen on YouTube. I love learning more about the cosmere background since my kids keep me too busy to forum lurk. Thanks guys for producing this!
