The One Who Connects

I see your point. I was merely posting from memory. It was the only semi-related discussion i remembered, and that WoB shut it down. I'll still disagree with you, as I think Chasmfiends would have a hard time existing with a less symbiotic spren to bond with. Magic gravity and all that. Chulls or some of the smaller Greatshells..., that might be feasible

There was a topic centuries ago about Chasmfiends = Thunderclasts, but that got debunked. It's in the account settings somewhere, you can add a signature. Anybody can do it, new people usually don't have a reason to is all.

Meanwhile I'm just here doing pseudo Feruchemy with my post count while @Calderis and @Extesian conspire.. I've been gone for a week, and come back with a slew of 17 straight posts in short succession to rebound. And I'm still going(the 30 second wait between posts is a pain though). 17 posts with a 30 sec gap is 2 per minute, so.. 17 posts in the last 9 minutes, with WoBs in most all of them. I'm officially back again

Here:

From the Coppermind:

It's from the Shalash Interlude with Baxil.

Oh, has that been confirmed? The Standard Weight/Gravity are Earth equivalent, so it makes sense, but I wasn't aware it'd been confirmed. Now to ponder whether Brandon uses the "Cosmere Standard" in his WoBs referring to timegaps between separate series...

It's only indirectly related. It seems like him being bound is a side effect of something that the Pact does, rather than the purpose of the Pact itself.

It's in the edit history(which nobody but me ever checks..) It retains the "citation needed" because a source is not provided, but it's there.

I'll just tag the rest of you instead of multi-quoting. @Calderis@Extesian@Oversleep@maxal The Entry actually mentioned Lift. The keyword to find it in Pagerunner's list is "breakfast." (the only reason I remembered it)

Not yet. It happens too late into WoR to be attributed to anything except the "new ending" where Kal doesn't kill Szeth. I doubt it is, since the Rattle was there when the old ending existed. Following my logic, I don't think it's about "the secret" because it happened so much later. There's a line in the Diagram telling Taravangian to "hold the secret that broke the KR." To me, that sounds like he already knew what it was from what he saw during the Day of Brilliance. It's my only gripe though, your idea is a pretty good one.

That's partly because the Coppermind is falling into neglect from too many signings happening for us to have time to update the pages. That and hardly anybody knows how to get to the Larkin entry without a bookmark.

They had a "falling out." Speculation flies regarding this revelation, but I imagine that the details of the split will be explained in the Warbreaker Sequel, currently named "Nightblood." Meaning that I believe the separation happened on Nalthis.

Understand that, like Elantris, the story takes a little while to get going into full swing. There's some great snippets of info and foreshadowing in the early chapters that most of us breeze by because the story starts slow(which is something we do in every story/movie/etc.. that starts slow, to be fair) Basically, you're gonna learn things by the end of the book that might blow your mind. When you reread the early chapters and understand the foreshadowing, it will blow your mind that you missed such "obvious clues." Accept that possibility and enjoy the story, rather than overanalyzing every detail right off the bat. By all means, reread a passage or two, but don't get so caught up trying to not get tricked that you lose sight of the actual story.

I believe you are still technically correct, but not for the reasons you think. It's a bit more uncertain. Yes, it's a RAFO, but Argent makes a good case for being able to spike a body shortly after death and still get something. If he's right about this, then it comes down to our continuing discourse about whether you can spike out Breath. Denth is correct within the context of Awakening, but he may not be completely right(which Brandon likes doing).

He gets some. (Though agelessness is.. uncertain)

It's Shu-Keseg, but you are correct. However, our religious splinter groups could have been influenced by the Seons/Skaze. This is technically "of the Shards," but indirect enough to not count. Their personal connections may have drawn a Seon/Skaze to themselves, leading to the tradition we know and love in Arelon.

None to my knowledge. The Street patterns in Elantris are Aon Ela(focus, center), by the way. The new artwork for the 10th anniversary version makes it quite clear.

Not exactly. It's more of a Rosetta Stone for Selish Magic.

Try @ /// never mind, it only works with first word of username.I'm the only user with "connects", so I thought you could use that, but guess not. Thanks. I may have went a little overboard, but that seems par for the course sometimes. It's rather jarring when you think about it, seeing just how important one little thing is to the whole of creation. Brandon wasn't kidding when he said "environmental factors ARE magical components ."

Who says the inside of the loop has to be smooth? Garrote wire is a thing you know. Biggest issue with the lasso is that it has to be metal. Granted, chain instead of rope could work, since the strength of plate would counteract the weight somewhat

After stating that the ecosystem would be fine because Highstorms still existed, you can't say that. Highstorms are the source of Crem and Stormlight. Without those two things, Roshar grinds to a halt. I could make a flow-chart of just how ruined Roshar would be. No Stormlight, no Gemstones. No gemstones, no Fabrials. No Fabrials, no Soulcast grain. Malnutrition, Mass Depopulation, Societal Collapse. No Infused Gemstones, their use as currency goes out the window b/c counterfeits. Economic Collapse. No Stormlight, no ambient Investiture. No ambient Investiture, no high healthiness. Medical Pandemics out the wazoo, Societal Collapse x2. No Soulcasters, old-fashioned way only. You think the Desolations sent them back to the Stone Age? Just you wait. No Stormlight, no Gemhearts. Greatshells as a whole could go extinct because they can't pupate anymore. No Lanceryns, no Chasmfiends, the Reshi Isles sink to the bottom of the sea(depending on how long the Tai-Na's legs are) If the Apex predators go, their food source grows in population, and then overconsumes it's own food source, they go extinct from lack of food, and the cycle continues with a lower predator. It's a ripple effect, leading to multiple extinctions, since there's hardly any grass to support a herbivorous population boom if they lose their predators. No Stormlight, no Listener Forms(they need Stormlight for their Spren bond right?). Entire way of life gone in a flash. We have a WoB that Stormlight helps plants grow. I can't imagine what slower plant growth would do to the animal ecology, much less the human one. So that's humanity collapsing economically, medically, technologically, and societally. The Parshendi way of life falls apart, as they'd be locked in birthform. If they aren't born in Mateform/Slaveform, they'd go extinct. Greatshells go extinct, potentially causing trickle-down extinction of the animal kingdom itself. Forget the conflict with Odium. Odium's entire existence becomes irrelevant if Stormlight disappears. Everything except Surgebinding(and possibly Fabrials) has been confirmed as pre-Honor. Even Humans were on Roshar prior to the Shards arrival.

I wanted to search how many times "is weight mass" was used on here as a joke too, and found that post of mine instead. So you got an answer(that you read last time i posted it)

Short answer, no. It's not a short answer, but deal with it.

Valid point. Should've brought that up last time, would've ended our argument right quick I still hold that he might have died from his wounds, it'd just take longer. Gives Tanavast a reason to do what he did.
