Don't talk to me about horse armor. Ever.

The Heralds are the original Kholins, which is why the Knights Kholin are being founded. Adolin Kholin, Dalinar Kholin, Navani Kholin, Renarin Kholin, and Jasnah Kholin are only scratching the surface. First, Szeth's great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-Grandfather was a Kholin. So Szeth is Szeth-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-son-Kholin. Kholin connection. There was a theory floating around that Kaladin's mother was part of a lighteyed or mix-eyed family. She's loosely related to the Kholin clan. Why is Lift on the run? She was kicked out by Dalinar Kholin on the night that his wife died (for some reason). Shallan's mother was also descended from the Kholins. See? The gang's getting back together.

Tia was the rocket scientist and Calamity was the astronaut.

Yeah, and without the Spyril, Regalia would have crushed him like a bug. He gets nothing but assurance that he won't turn evil.

Granted. You have to constantly listen to Justin Bieber music, and cannot veto this bane. You won't last a day. I wish for a strawberry smoothie.

@Shardmancer I'm still pushing my "Calamity is Major Tom" theory Tia worked at NASA, and John was her boyfriend. John, Tia and Abigail knew eachother. Calamity talked to Regalia, and is now on the moon. I rest my case.

Cruelty to unarmed potatoes by minefield, obviously.

No, I was just explaining what I meant. I'll bet that the first new law put into place was one that allowed Lift to get free food in any Azirian restaurant.

"Congratulations Azir, you just put an idiot in charge."

I'm so glad that Regalia wasn't a bloodbender...

No, I implied the likely existence of Awakened mashed potatoes,

This all depends on whether Instabam can create live potatoes or only dead potatoes.

Granted. You can read, but you cannot comprehend what you read I wish that I had free oreos for life (just the standard flavor. Nothing else. The curse cannot alter the oreos or my ability to eat and enjoy them).

The first two are fine, but the third? SCANDALOUS!!! That is FAR too risque and inappropriate to put on public television! Stop imagining it, you perv!

So basically prototype, right?

Ah yes, Wit. His master was Jezrien Kholin's brother. See the Kholin Konnection?

Because he talked. And he's black. And he has the black smoke wisping off of him. And Brandon basically confirmed him. And he's black. And he's talked. And Zahel's Vasher. And he talked. And he has black smoke wisping off of him.

And possibly devote some resources to helping them overcome their fears... yeah, this could go somewhere.

Well, I think that having Prof available would be good. You can send in gifted Reckoners, which wouldn't corrupt Prof, but would be weaker. However, Prof would have a corruption meter that would be difficult to manage. That would be cool.

Because one GIF wasn't enough...

Yes, but think of all of the issues that could have been solved if the characters even said a couple more sentences to each other. Here's a big one that could have saved a lot of trouble (especially in future books): Dalinar (To imprisoned Kaladin): "No, Kaladin, I can't prosecute Amaram yet. I do not have any proof to make a case against him. But I am still collecting evidence, and I believe your story." And either one of these would probably save some trouble down the road: Kaladin (To Shallan, in Chasms during highstorms): "Amaram mentioned something about your brother being sent by the Ghostbloods, do you have any idea what that means?" or "Actually, that was me. Amaram killed my men and sold me into slavery to take his shards. And by the way, Amaram mentioned something about your brother being sent by the Ghostbloods, do you have any idea what that means?" Either one would have been good. Even with Kaladin's distrusting disposition, the first choice would have been well within his comfort zone.

Way of Kings, definitely. My biggest problem with WoR was that THE CHARACTERS DIDN'T TALK TO EACH OTHER! At least in WoK, the characters were all separated, so they weren't able to be quite so antisocial when they got together.

We are glad that you have been released from the penitentiary. Welcome into the light, brother. We look forward to showing you all that you have missed while lost in the neverending maze of the blue 'e'.

I'm willing to bet that Rosharian societies are much more oppressive than what most countries today have.

Ah, got it. I'm using Chrome Beta, so that could be causing the hangup. And you're definitely right on the pardoning aspect, but does it cover a ruler pardoning themselves? Or hiring a hitman and then pardoning the hitman (kind of like what Richard Nixon did. That guy was a looney).
