Well pointed out. Still more boring than the other assumption, but I suppose it is more likely.

@maxal: I guess we have different opinions on how strong the bond needs to be for him to be called a Lightweaver.

This reminds me that pictures of my father before he got bald remind me of Tom Riddle.Yeah. This is weird. I think it is my duty to take over the world with dark magic before Trump does so.

Mistborn: Secret History.

You are assuming the fact there is a path means it is straightfoward. As far as we know, that may be a feat that requires the unification of all Sel under the same banner, centuries of study of the Dor and help from worldhoppers. Not exactly easy.

Maybe copper compounding allowed him to store a copy of his memories? He wouldn't lose anything, and his followers would have something to remind them of him.

Ok, now that the Spoiler policy got a little less harsh, I will post what got deleted by the Dark Overlords concerned mods. For Secret History:

I am quite sure the hardcore policy was until day 9.

Except Stones Unhallowed is far more ominous sounding than Doors of Stone, and Brandon changed book three to Oathbringer, switching the order of Szeth and Dalinar's books. Perhaps it was done to give Pat a chance? Not everyone can keep up with the Sanderbot Legion.

Why not? If Kaladin had his skull cracked by Bluth, or whatever that mercenary was called, after Syl started to follow him but before they spoke, then what would keep him from dying?

The Spiritual Realm is not the afterlife. There is generaly a short a "grace period" in the Cognitive Realm, then the mind goes somewhere else, that lies beyond the Realms. There are some cases of said grace period being extended, like Mistborn Spoilers: But Brandon wants to keep the final afterlife, or even its existence, up to the reader, so unless the Tranquiline Halls are a planet populated by rosharan ghosts fleeing from Shadesmar, the most we would probably get from a dead character is them hanging out with spren in Shadesmar.

BoM Spoilers:

Poor Renarin, always getting the short, non-flammable end of the stick. Reminds me of a fan-fic idea I had in which he accidentaly joins the Diagrammists and must prevent assassinations while convincing said assassins he is helping them.

Generaly, I start my characters as fragments of myself, then make them different by taking pieces from music, other people and even other characters and mixing those pieces together. Of course, this method has some failings, as no matter how different my characters are between one another I am unable to write someone very opposite to me. Basing things on pictures sounds perfectly fine. I generaly use music, but whatever sparks your spark of creativity is what you should use.

Why is the king and church so closely aligned? Is he the head of said church? If not, I'd think that someone as paranoid as him wouldn't want to give people outside his direct control exclusive acess to a tool like magic. And why does the Church support him? If they have exclusive acess to such a versatile tool, then I suppose they are rich and influential, could stay so if another was king, and would rather prefer stability than the kingdom falling apart because of an incompetent ruler. Have they at least tried to passively contain the king's madness out of a desire of self-preservation? Or do they keep the king because the alternative is opposed to them, and they lack the power to put a puppet in his place?

Yet... everybody knew how much of a backstabber Sadeas was. If honesty is the issue, Amaram is still fully above him, and now that Sadeas has been mysteriously murdered in the dark the pro-Kholin faction suddenly lost much of their moral high-ground. I wouldn't discount Amaram so quickly, even if only as the public face while Ialai runs things in the background.

Check again. The RAFO is from January 2015, while the answer is from October 2015.

I am completely unremarkable online. Maybe because I don't post much about my life, maybe because when writing I tend to be more serious and less spontaneous, since IRL people who make throught my wall of silence tend to find me hard to forget, but I feel so rusting bland here.

As far as I am aware, it is a matter of compatibility. I believe the spren seeks to bond someone not only because that person makes a good Knight for said order, but because of the capacity to form a deep connection with said Knight. If Syl was drawn to the human who could connect with her more deeply, it could explain some of the apparent similarities between Tien and Syl.

1. As far as we know, no special connection besides the fact both complement Kaladin in similarly deep ways, which may have helped forming the bond. 2.We have no idea what will happen now. His wife could end up as a regent while things are settled, but Amaram does seen like a good candidate.

Airsick Lowlanders.

Revolutions on both are bound to be risky. Jah Keved is like Canada.

Oh, I forgot that. That was funny in a very surreal way.

I find that unlikely, as allomantic machines surely changed the flow of technological advancement.

That is... strange. I've found nothing in her personality that pointed that way.I myself always thought she had some combination of OCD, anxiety issues and autism. Perhaps identifying psychologivmcal conditions where others would see "crazyness" is what made it easy for me to sympathise with her from the start, despite hating excessive planing in general. I have very light autism, and more often than not like characters who feel misplaced no matter where they go.
