Last time, we talked about the Rhythm of War Part One epigraphs and the fabrials details there (which you can check out here: https://youtu.be/96lCEbKyiSA ). This time we are going deep into the new things we've learned in Dawnshard and Rhythm of War, and boy. There is a lot. We get solidly into the weeds here on mechanics, aluminum, and the ancient fabrials. We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), Joshua (jofwu), Marvin (Paleo), and Rosemary (Kaymyth). 00:00 Introduction 3:57 Fabrials 6:10 Aluminum, Frame of Reference, and Spanreeds 27:39 More Aluminum: Tomor's Glove and Fourth Bridge 41:06 Force Multiplication 48:47 Ancient Fabrials 1:29:49 Suppression Fabrial 1:54:25 Who's That Cosmere Character If you like our content, support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/17thshard For discussion, theories, games, and news, come to https://www.17thshard.com Come talk with us and the community on the 17th Shard Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/bMAUS5c Want to learn more about the cosmere and more?

Please remember Rhythm of War spoilers are NOT allowed outside of the RoW boards. I have moved this topic there.

Hi, just a friendly reminder to not put spoilers in topic titles. Thanks!

If it's a YouTube video, you just paste the link and it should automatically embed.

Sentences like these are more appropriate for forum posts than in wiki articles, I am afraid. I don't disagree with the analysis, but the wiki is not the place for such extrapolation.
-
I agree this is plausible, but also, Compounding can get weird, and we shouldn't add speculation (even well reasoned) to the Coppermind. I think this is especially important with Feruchemical iron, which has lots of handwavium as it is. We've been culling away a lot of speculation that has crept up over the years on the Coppermind.

Hey everyone, guess what! Our very first Coppermind Commission is ready to be revealed. After our patrons voted last month to see the interior of the honorspren stronghold, Lasting Integrity, we reached out to friend of Shardcast, Connor Chamberlain. And as always, he knocked it out of the park. If you want to have a hand in our next poll, act fast. Just two days left on it! If you are already a patron, check back soon for a fun behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this piece! Thank you to all the patrons for all of your support in getting us to our $500 goal, which allows us to do awesome things like this. We hope you love it. -
Hmmm that feels like a bug. We'll have to test when it's on the new site. ...Soon!

It's really time-intensive to do these shows weekly. After Oathbringer's release we did over a year of weekly shows, but it's pretty brutal, so we went to every other week from late 2019 until Rhythm of War hit. We're doing the same now until the next big release. It's quite a lot to record and edit each of these weekly, and it's nice to do in bursts when big stuff comes out, but is not long term sustainable. We all work full time. There's just not enough hours in the week. I'd really hate to learn to resent the podcast because of pushing too hard. Honestly, the last few episodes have been like that. Every other week was a lot more sustainable. I haven't been able to do short videos like I want, so hopefully there should still be some regular content coming, but hopefully it won't take as much time to produce as the podcast.

Hey, welcome! I had to move this topic to the Rhythm of War board. Please be aware of which forum you are posting in and read their descriptions. In addition, Rhythm of War content cannot be outside of the RoW boards.

Let's talk about fabrials! We sure learned a bunch about them in Rhythm of War, that's for sure. This is the first of two episodes on fabrials. In this one we're going through the Part One epigraphs, which really did have a ton of fabrial stuff. We'll continue this next time, but do note Shardcast will be back to every other week after this one. We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry, and who lives by a jet plane known as his laptop's fan), Evgeni (Argent), Joshua (jofwu), Marvin (Paleo), and making a return from a long, long time ago is Rosemary (Kaymyth)!

Hmmmmmmm... I can't think of anything right now. Reading new cosmere is always awesome, so I do love it. It can be frustrating to moderate different people for the same behavior that we've needed to deal with before. Like "oh another person getting upset about this" sort of thing, or very similar arguments over and over again. More people complaining about shipping (it's fine for people to like things you don't personally enjoy, you'll be okay), more people being gatekeepy about WoBs to newer readers (be nice to people), pedantic arguments that get heated about minor things for no reason (why are people getting so heated on the internet? Have fun, jeez). It happens a lot. I can't wait for when cosmere adaptations happen so we can have the same casting arguments about representation every hour for years on end! That'll be... super fun... I'm very rarely surprised with things these days... though we had to ban a literal Nazi a few months ago, so that was a horrifying new experience. I at least learned a new horrible racial slur... yikes. So I guess that was surprising. But most things are not surprising. But I'm good; I'll be here for a long time to come. Hmmm, yeah, can't say this has happened to me, but I don't even really visualize things as I am reading. I'm not a very visual person.

This weekend, if you want some content from us at 17th Shard, there will be things! We'll be a guest on a stream Friday evening, and we'll do a stream of our own on Sunday! The Friday stream will be by another excellent booktuber named Bookborn. She's hosting a stream where we talk about Stormlight 5 predictions. Bookborn will be joined by two other creators, Alex Nieves of FantasyBookTalk and Elliot Brooks, along with our Eric and Grace. It will start at 5pm Pacific (8pm Eastern) on February 26th and it'll be about an hour. I'm super excited about this, so come join us! It will be streamed on YouTube at this link: Then, on Sunday, we'll be doing another Shardcast stream like our New Year's Stream on Sunday, 10am Pacific (1pm Eastern). Instead of on our Twitch, we figured we'd do this one on our YouTube channel, and I imagine we'll go for three hours or so. When I have a link to the video, I'll update this post with details! -
What's this letter/color business? This is some dumb memey thing, isn't it? I mean Brandon's are fun. I can't say I have much time to read much non-Brandon stuff usually... Cute birb! Though Jess generally likes birds much more than me. She's the Disney princess!

A specific thing doesn't really come to mind when I'm making a snap , but there are a lot of more minor things I suppose. I'm a procrastinator, and it's real bad. It's always weird me teaching, because I had terrible study habits in school. 1. Letters are not colors. 2. First one is great and a classic. I liked the second one. Haven't seen the third one. 3. Pretty cool but I prefer less standard fantasy races. 4. Go to bed! 1. Letters are not colors. I don't understand what's going on with this and the last question. 2. I'm fine. Pretty busy! 3. Hugs are good, but hugs from strangers are weird. Yeah, I don't get paid. Like, the Patreon money goes to me, but I obviously distribute various things out. None of us even get paid minimum wage. Moderating is a thankless job everywhere on the internet. I find the drive because I want to be the best fansite around, and the Brandon fandom is great. Daerra was not pleased.

Hi there. I have moved this to one of the RoW forums, where Rhythm of War discussion is allowed. Rhythm of War content cannot be outside the Rhythm of War board during the spoiler period: https://www.17thshard.com/forum/topic/92842-row-and-dawnshard-spoiler-policy/
-
Probably not for a long time. No. That's core functionality. Not sure why you'd want that not to be here.

Last time we talked mechanics about Enlightened Truthwatchers, but now let's talk about some character dynamics with Renarin and Rlain! We discuss representation, hopes for the future, with some book five thoughts as well! We also talk about possible oaths and Shardplate some too. We have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Alyx (Feather), Grace (thegatorgirl), and Matt (Comatose). We also have Dalish who wanted to play Who's That Cosmere Character too. See our previous episode on the Enlightened Truthwatchers here: https://youtu.be/qQaq9PWj4v8 Excellent thumbnail art by rspixart: https://rspixart.tumblr.com/post/636832734069850112/dont-deny-it-rockim-still-the-strange-one 00:00 Introduction 1:37 Renarin & Rlain 1:31:37 WTCC If you like our content, support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/17thshard For discussion, theories, games, and news, come to https://www.17thshard.com Come talk with us and the community on the 17th Shard Discord: https://discordapp.com/invite/bMAUS5c Want to learn more about the cosmere and more?

Pretty sure on sites that use browser notifications you can have it notify you on your phone. At least on Chrome I believe. So this is already a solved problem.

I'm going to give a cop out answer, but to be honest, it's the truest: meeting my incredible fiance, and very soon to be wife, @LadyLameness. But aside from that... I'd say the friends and relationships I've made here will be lifelong, and Shardcast has brought me closer to a lot of people. It's great. And seeing the kind reactions to our content is very flattering. And getting over a million posts here on the Shard, a super active Discord, and a wiki that is likely one of the very best fan wikis; it's all incredible.
-
Not sure what you're finding confusing. Brandon just said that that scene with Lezian dying (with El) wasn't in his alpha draft, but it existed in later drafts.
-
Yes; in the future, @Flyingbooks and @Quantus, you cannot post RoW stuff outside the RoW boards, even tagged. I will move this topic but please note Cosmere Discussion explicitly has "No RoW" in the title. There is a corresponding RoW Cosmere area.

Let's not do that first one. We'd like floofier cats, but I imagine we'd get them from a shelter, so we'll see. Oh man, that was a long time ago. There was a lot of fun there. I had a character who was positively crazy and was a drunk who thought the effects of booze were what Allomancy was. She thought she was a Mistborn and very much was not. That entire noble house had some great characters and worldbuilding, but that never quite got off the ground. Another fun moment was where one of Matt's characters told one of my characters that she had no time for his pity parade. So the next day he hired a bunch of people to make his own parade and marched right to Keep Elariel until she would show up. It was hilarious and thoroughly obnoxious. That character was great fun.
