Open another one! There´s not a thing like "too many puns"! Don´t be Selish, be selfish and distribute bad puns around.

A sword with "insolence" maybe? Nightblood is a piece hard to swalow. It (he..?) is not with the bad or the good guys. He is with the chaotic ones.

I have a very literal mind...

Think about it: Ruin was a good manipulator. He waltzed his way fooling almost all players on Scadrial. But I don´t see this deftness (or finesse) on Odium. hate does not wait, does not conspire. It attacks and goes for the throat (and, until now, is the only shard that can splinter others). And the mechanic for the Nightwatch is well stablished - a boon and a curse. You can save Roshar but you cannot see each step on the way. The boon is magical in nature, so he may have had a cognitive expansion on his perfect intellgence day that provided a full picture view (remember Kelsier when his mind expanded). And Nightwatch must follow many not yet revealed rules (like almost all things on Roshar have rules that are not yet apparent).

This description appears on The Secret History. I think Leras says it.

Try to dog it up, itmay work better...

You officially trolled the officetroll. Would that be a metatrolling?

Yes, but it did not attack Silence.

For old school RPG players, the setting reminded me a lot of Ravenloft. A little bit more mists and we would have a domain in the demiplane of dread! We could have Brandon an a cape screaming I am the land! I am Cosmere! for the sake of references.

1-4 Ok! Makes a lot o sense Threnody havinga connection to Scadrial. But.... the grand assumption, does not make sense, as we read on The Bands of Mourning, the inhabitants of the southern continent of Scadrial uses medalions and cover their faces with masks.

OR it has something to do with the fact that the shade was imprisioned on a shrine to the mysterious "God Beyond". The name God Beyond struck a note with Mistborn: Secret History where Beyond is where the souls go when they die and.... uh... go away? There´s got to be a connection.

Preservation is stasis. Cannot create. Ruin is enthropy can only destroy. Both they could create a dynamic world by oposing each other (which reminds me of Wheel of Time themes).

Understood! Thanks.

Or am I wrong and the correct power is not Connection, but Identity?

So, the question with AonDor is "Connection"? As the Connection a Ferring Connector is capable of storing on duralumin metalminds? So, an evetual Ferring Connector that ended up on Sel would be capable, by using stored connection, to use AonDor? Or, by flaring a good deal of stored conncection, could he, then, be turned into an Elantrian? What do you think?

I would say mettalic sodium...

I don´t know. As far as we know, Odium in tied to Roshar. Maybe another shard?

That´s is just the problem. Sanderson kill us many, many, many times. Of wonder and then of curiosity, then wonder again.

Hello! No, not yet. Will do it this week though... Many possibilities open...

Survive, it seems. I was told that he is rather accomplished at this...

I am back! After a long time between books, I return for the two latest Mistborn books. Reading Band of Mourning and having some serious thoughts about cosmere.

Sure! The Mistborne Series is quite spectacular. And it will give you more underlying Knowledge about the Cosmere setting.

Odium is contained, but I would say that if all Roshar would fall and it´s inhabitants were to be considered collateral damage, then Odium would be free to withdraw the investiture he placed there, freeing him to wreak havock across cosmere. So, my guess is that Odium will have heavy oposition. The return of the Knights Radiant is a proof that something else is moving, not only Odium.

I don´t think Honor was splintered on the last Desolation. My guess is this event is more recent. Remember that Odiun´s forces lost the last Desolation but the Recreance, somehow gave Odium the upper hand, but not immediately. We have a WoB that Odium has invested a lot on Roshar and is kind of trapped there. Here is the quote: Phoenix Comicon When one of the shards, like Odium, move from world to world in the cosmere, does their presence, like the metals they leave behind and their magic, leave with them? Umm... Odium never really settled on a planet. He is now settled on Roshar and his magic has permeated things. Leaving would be very difficult for him. It would either involve leaving behind some of his power or ripping that out, which would be a difficult process. So yes it is very tough to leave.

Skybreaker Dredd? Edit: He should add: I will protect all the cakes that can´t protect themselves. But he will not, because, you know, the CAKE IS A LIE!!!
