Absolutely correct. I initially assumed the idea of Brandon Sanderson emailing White Sand was some sort of forum prank, but it's actually 100% accurate! As a point of fact, I'm reading WS now and am waiting for a copy of Aether of Night, another book he occasionally sends out. There's always another secret, it seems, even for those who believe they've read all the Cosmere books.

My rep level just went to 512, which is the King's Wit. Of course, the King's Wit is the man whose responsibility it is to keep the king entertained by insulting guests and making puns. Or at least, that's what I've... hoid. YEEEAAAAAAAH!

Well if everyone feels that way I could change the combatants for the first match. I was thinking there might be more of an argument in Szeth's favor but clearly this isn't much a contest in terms of sheer voting.

I voted "Something Else" in addition to my other votes because there was no Legion option. Legion, despite its comparative brevity, is one of my favorite works of Brandon Sanderson and is one of the precious few I own a physical copy of. The opening line is one of the best hook sentences I have ever read. The characters are dynamic and engaging, despite the fact that only a small fraction of them are "real" within the narrative of the story. The camera that features so heavily in the story is one of the coolest items I have seen in any speculative fiction. And the sequel groundwork leaves me hanging and anxious for more. On a side note, why is Shadows of Self on the list? It is unpublished, and only a sample of a draft is available.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Kobold King replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When you wonder what Shard is on Earth, and spend hours on Google Maps looking for our Shardpool. When you research Chinese mythology and come across a medieval novel called Investiture of the Gods. When you immediately devote all your resources towards procuring a copy of said book. -

When you wonder if Magneto's helmet is aluminum. -
WoB: There are no caveats, so I'm guessing that the garbled sDNA doesn't actually have any ill effects on offspring. There is a very strong possibility of my being wrong on this, however.

This process seems legit--I bet it could work. I would just add that you'd better have quite a few Soothers and Rioters present, because you now how have a pair of very angry and romantically bonded Inquisitors trying to escape and slaughter everybody

For best results, make sure the male and female candidates are not closely related. If this instruction is not followed, an insane physically deformed Mistborn child could result.

Nice to meet you too! Have fun with Warbreaker, it's one of my favorites.

I thought of that. I wanted to start big though... maybe in a future episode. Though so far Szeth is taking a beating in the poll. I guess TLR is just so monumentally overpowered that no one has a chance against him. Well, no one besides Hoid, of course.

I am likely in the minority here, but I would like to see Brent Butt from Corner Gas in the role of Breeze.

When you wonder what Allomantic and Feruchemical properties Vibranium possesses. -
We will say that neither knows all the specifics, but each knows the other is a powerful force. TLR saw Szeth killing guards with the Honorblade and Lashing, Szeth watched TLR kill Kelsier in front of the crowd.

I doubt he could tank through all attacks. If Szeth's Honorblade touches the spine, not even the TLR could survive.

Do you hear their screams in your head afterwards? I do. Mostly they say "quit waving your arms around like an idiot." My soul is in such torment... -

Welcome! You can't have my Breath, though. I'm saving up for Fifth Heightening.

Warning: Mistborn and Words of Radiance spoilers. Ladies and gentlemen, sticks and stones of all ages! Welcome to the Cosmere Colosseum, the topic channel where we debate as to the martial skills of characters from Brandon Sanderson's work. For our first ever episode, I chose a pair of combatants whose power is unmatched on their respective worlds--Szeth-son-son-Vallano and Rashek, the Lord Ruler of the Final Empire. I believe these two have been matched in fan debates before, but not recently. It's time for a fair poll to determine which of these two legendary fighters will survive their confrontation. As a refresher: Szeth-son-son-Vallano is equipped with Jezrien's Honorblade, a weapon with all the destructive finesse of the average Shardblade combined with the trait of granting the powers of the Windrunners to its wielder. Szeth is an extremely skilled and cunning fighter, trained in Lashing, swordsplay, and the Shin martial art of kammar. The Lord Ruler is the Sliver of Infinity himself, a Mistborn and full Feruchemist whose extreme power led to his worship as a deity on Scadrial. He is capable of Compounding every metal, and has had centuries to perfect his awesome skill. Following in the footsteps of EMTrevor with his amazing Monster Melee thread, I will be writing a brief description of the battle once enough votes have come in. Who will prevail? Cast your votes on the poll above!

Delightfully flattered... there is no way that wasn't a deliberate pun. Take an upvote and convey yourself to the pun thread, we need more men like you.

Well, Syl can have a humanoid figure. She has eyes, a torso, basically everything a human has. Do you think the bind points would stay the same for a spren?

When you're mad at someone and start counting heartbeats in your head. Just don't make odd slashing motions when you reach ten.
