It is against the law for us to collect data from members under 13, so the account was deleted. I must also delete this account as well. The law in question is COPPA and restricts most online platforms. Come back when you are over 13, and please do not come back earlier to circumvent this. Sorry.

Please note, no RoW content outside the spoiler boards.

I mean, Brandon can still make mistakes even in audio (mistspren, Gavilar's spheres being known after OB). Those are also fairly recent and also totally wrong This book shows WoBs mean less than before. I think the WoB is weird. Your assumption is that the imprisonment of BAM does not put the Regals in slaveform. I very much believe those singers were put in slaveform. I do not agree with your assessment there, so we will leave it at that. I strongly believe every singer that was not a listener was placed in slaveform at that moment, and I think the text definitely implies that is the case.
-
I will respond to you in PM.

Parallax, I think you're just making an assumption about the Regals. I mean... you're perfectly entitled to feel that way, but I don't think that's very supported. Maybe, but I currently don't think that is well supported. I find that WoB about the timeline highly circumspect; we've been chatting about it on Discord for the last day and it just... really does not make sense to me.

I can provide quotes! Not a problem. Gemstone archive (OB epigraph chapter 80): ""Ba-Ado-Mishram has somehow Connected with the parsh people, as Odium once did. She provides Voidlight and facilitates forms of power. Our strike team is going to imprison her." Ulim in chapter 73: "Bah, it was a fluke. We couldn’t break the last Herald, and the humans found some way to pin the whole Oathpact on him. So we got stuck on Braize. Eventually the Unmade decided to start a war without us. That turned out to be exceedingly stupid. In the past, Odium granted forms of power, but Ba-Ado-Mishram thought she could do it. Ended up handing out forms of power as easily as Fused give each other titles, Connected herself to the entire singer species. Became a little god. Too little." I think this is very explicit, especially with two different references from opposite sides both saying the same thing.
-
Well, both the Radiants at the gemstone archive believe that BAM provided the forms of power, and Ulim's recount of the situation says that as well.

Easy to forget some WoBs sometimes, but also, they aren't everything. The first WoB, we already knew and is obvious from the books. The accuracy of the vision one is a good one. The RAFOs don't really matter So one important one missed for sure. I find that enslavement of parshmen one to by highly suspicious. I would think if Ba-Ado-Mishram directly Connected with the singers to grant forms of power, wouldn't those singers (those Regals) be the primary singers to instantly go into slaveform? You're definitely making a big assumption that the Regals would remain in tact after her binding. I would assume if there were pockets of Regals that still existed after her binding that some would survive somewhere on Roshar. Regals surviving in tact does not match Ulim's account in chapter 73, where he says she Connected with the entire species, and "everyone’s souls got seriously messed up." Of course, the listeners are an exception, but I absolutely do not think the Regals at the time would be.

Hey there, please no Rhythm of War content in the Cosmere Q&A board. Rhythm of War content must only be in the Rhythm of War boards.
-
Nothing special. Just an old inside joke. Scadrial's an earth analog world and Shivertongue likes waffles, hence, waffles confirmed on Scadrial. At least at some point in its history.

Rhythm of Reviews continues with talking about Adolin and Shallan's arc in Rhythm of War! The sweet animated wallpaper is from Cosmere.es, the Spanish fan site. It's awesome! They have one for Words of Radiance as well! https://cosmere.es/descargas/ The sweet thumbnail image is Yasen Stoilov's Bulgarian Rhythm of War cover. Cosmere.es did an interview of him, translated to English on our site here: https://www.17thshard.com/news/features/artist-spotlight-yasen-stoilov-bulgarian-cover-artist-for-rhythm-of-war-r603/ 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?

I've responded to this a few months ago: We're behind in our software updates, but if IPS has that capability in newer versions, then we will do that. If not, we won't. That's about it. Customizing the software more is likely not a good idea.
-
You can't have RoW spoilers outside the RoW board. I have moved this to the appropriate board.
-
I definitely wish there was more time in between, and I imagine Brandon agrees there. I can put this on the list. It probably won't be for quite some time but it's a good topic. Thanks!
-
I changed it to normal apostrophe. I'm curious if that actually was the issue or not.
-
I suspect this is because your Display Name is using a curly apostrophe, whereas when you typed "Matrim's Dice" the apostrophe is different.

Does the article on Surgebinding need a major change?
Chaos replied to Oltux72's topic in The Coppermind Wiki
I assume you mean Brandon's stream, not podcast, there? The article needs a lot of updates. A lot of information needs to be shuffled around and this is going to be a very tricky article to deal with. Some info needs to be on different pages, etc. If you had a Coppermind account (that has editor rights, which I can give you), you can put a draft on your user page, but this is going to be complicated to deal with. For example, Fused will be mentioned on that page. Divvying up information between Surgebinding, Surges, Knight Radiant, individual order page, Fused, Fused brands, etc., will be pretty nontrivial. It's going to be pretty tricky to deal with. Large magic system articles are challenging. However: we will still not use Surgebinding in the "Rosharans call all magic Surgebinding" sort of way for the same reason that Rosharans call everything a spren, but we aren't going to say Shards of Adonalsium are spren. -
That's correct. If you leave a PM thread, you no longer see the messages in it.
-
I am moving this topic into Rhythm of War boards. This is a bit of an edge case here but I think that will make this easier.

Hi, no Rhythm of War content outside the Rhythm of War boards.

It's that time of the year for State of the Sanderson 2020, where Brandon tells us what he's been up to this year, and looking towards the future. It's always worth a look, and we go through all of the details here! This week we have Eric (Chaos), Ian (Weiry), Evgeni (Argent), and Grace (thegatorgirl). You can check out the challenge coin case here: https://dragonwoodshop.com/ Thumbnail art, of course, comes from the State of the Sanderson blog post.

Voidbringers have a high power level, so they require high rep
-
The 17S forum isn't for book discussion, so I will move this to Cosmere Discussion or something, but note that that means it could not have Rhythm of War stuff. If you would prefer it in the RoW cosmere area, that can be done.
