DreamEternal

Honestly, if he was summoned as a shardblade I would actualy expect the Storm to come as well.

I think it(the AMA for my setting) worked.

My magic is know as dark or dream magic, and can be used by any human or kivir that for some reason had their essence "broken", it involves using information, generaly in the form of descriptions and representations, to alter or create objects and beings. It also allows one to tap into shadows of the past.I am specialized in using said magic for shapeshifting. Generaly doing so is impossible, but there is a ritual that dissociates the matter of a human's body from its form. Unfortunately, that means I am kept together by my own magic, and the information used to mantain the spell, the image of my body in my own mind, decays with time. So to not become a deformed, insane monster, I must find fresh corpses and use them to restore said information. So... you eat corpses to restore information? Human magic is fascinating in all the wrong ways. No! And... yes. It is a complicated process. But in most people's eyes, I am a face stealing cannibal. There are methods that allow me to slow the decay, and while I was awake I never had to kill people to "eat" them, but... I admit I probably wouldn't be able to control myself if I had to. About our homeland... It... It is our faith, our purpose, given by the vanguard as we left the heavenships. Why wouldn't I want to see it fufilled? (*before you ask, yes I used the kandra as inspiration*)

(*This is inspired on Kobold's thread. Feel free to upvote him, althought I feel he doens't really need it at this point. This:(**) means out of character. *) Dreamer, I do not know what tides carried you here from your time and world, nor do I divine why the engines of fate have brought you to me, but please rest calm. I may be a monster in the eyes of some, but I will not hurt you. My name is Iluinirumave, meaning "subtle shift of the tide", although most call me Ilui. I was once a mage, a scholar, and perhaps even a hero. I was also a cannibal sorceress, more shadow than flesh, more monster than person. Now, I quietly sleep below earth and sea, waiting for the day humanity reclaims their homeland far beyond the stars. I've learned much in my sleep, walking throught shadows of memories, but I am not divine, and most of what I know comes from the times of the Second Age, before the rising and fall of Saint Temã, and is about the Eastern Half and the Princedoms of Creizem, home of the vaults that guard dangerous relics of magics of dream and flame, both ancient and new. Wait, I feel another mind manifest... I... I am sorry if I disrupted, but I could not avoid feeling summoned by this. Maybe it is because of the nature of my soul, but I was called, and I think I now must answer as well. Very... very well. I think it would be good to hear from other times and places. Thank you, master Ilui. I am from the Third Age, being comtemporary to the restauration of Temã, although I don't think I should speak too much about that specific event. I was born in Imeriz, capital of the Imeric Empire, but if I had to call any place my home, it would be the Cireze Dominion, built on the ashen ruins of the Creizem Princedoms. More specificaly the city of Tevirre, know as the second capital of the Empire for good reasons. You can call me Guivere, althought my father calls me Zenith-37. I am a failed prototype of divinity turned spy. I feel qualified to answer your questions, and mildly inclined to do so. (*Try to restrain your questions to worldbuilding and the characters themselves, not plot, ok?*)

Well... I guess I've got to try to see if it works. It kinda helps that currently I am unable to write much anyway, since I am at my most creative during midnight, yet I've to study in the morning.

Makes me want to try one for my own setting, but I feel like I shouldn't for some reason. Maybe because of how little I've managed to actualy write.

I think you mean sapient. All spren are councious, like animals, but most spren, including the ones in fabrials, are just like that in both Realms as far as we know. Sapient spren like the ones that bond Radiants are the exception.

The wikipedia article later says that in a physical sense, the "magnetic north pole" is actualy the geomagnetic south pole, so I guess we both are right?

Actualy, the magnetic north pole is in the southern hemisphere. That is why the magnetic north pole of tge needle of a compass poits towards the geographical north.EDIT: @natc: I was taught it was the other was around...

Wait, but isn't the magnetic north pole at the south hemisphere? Then the "Southerners" are supposed to be Northerners instead? Or Brandon just messed his physics up.

Thank you for reminding me of that. That does really support the theory.

You get a giant logicspren that thinks it is the Highstorm.Inserts lightnings.

Perhaps, but from the TenSoon PoV chapters it seems the kandra society does have gender identity as a concept, perhaps as something they inherited or imitated from human society.

Even then, WoB says Szeth is not more conected to Yelig-nar than the avarage Rosharan.

What Death Rattles are you talking about? The only one I remember is the 1000 days one, that was quite off.

I've never questioned that. I just pointed some pragmatic reasons a plan like the Diagram is a bad thing, to complement the moral and ethical ones.Mr.T isn't evil, he is just a proof intelligence and foolishness aren't mutualy exclusive.

That is the problem. By assuming his way is the only way and removing all he cannot control, Mr.T may be diminishing humanity's chance of survival by removing important resources and viable alternatives. No matter how intelligent a madman is, his curves, jumps and spacetime warps of deranged reasoning will hardly turn into straight lines leading to a logical conclusion. It isn't about his reasoning being hard to follow, it is about it being based on wrong premises or conclusions, like that the only(or best) way to ensure humanity's survival is to control everything, and then creating uncontrollable chaos at the worst possible time in order to achieve that control. The fact that the everstorm came before Mr.T was able to effectively take control and organize even a single country, yet after he already desestructured almost the whole world, is proof of how flawed is the Diagram's assumption that achieving universal control by a single group, no matter how enlightened and knowing, is an effective enough plan to justify all atrocities commited in its name.

Honestly, the first post in this thread was highly sensationalistic and more than a little ignorant in my opinion. That does not mean it merited personal attacks or that Yodeler's post is not a great overreaction as well.

Yes, I don't believe Adolin would feel anything against his brother if he found the truth. But fear and logical thought do not mingle well, and Renarin was afraid.

While it is not his fault, he may be part of the reason Renarin felt afraid of telling the truth. Having the greatest duelist of the world as his brother pprobably made him feel he would be even more of a failure if he was unable of being a warrior, and he probably felt he would be striking a blow against his family if he ever admited hearing the screaming, a sure sign of insanity. And better to not get started on the visions. If I remember right, Adolin explicitely said seeing the future was of the voidbringers, even after accepting his father's visions.

Elhokar certainly did not like the fact his father was killed. In fact, he would be much happier being the heir for some more years and not fear the assassin. Aesudan... she does not seem to be important part of a conspiracy, if her behavior is any indication. The ghostbloods probably wanted Gavilar dead, but they don't try to kill all the Kholins. No way Sadeas would give up the Assassin in White. It would sound more like him if he directly made a deal with the parshendi and double crossed them. Maybe Restares? Gavilar thought it was a possibility, and I suspect he was not exactly a member of the Sons of Honor, but an ally trying to use them for his own ends while they did the same.

I didn't say she took them to spite him, but that he tried to use them against Adolin out of spite. Sorry for the ambiguity.EDIT: @Moogle: It certainly does not help that we have no reliable sources, since the unbroken survivors are those who weren't bound to a human at the time. So I agree to disagree.

Dalinar felt a sense of betrayal from the dead spren. That doens't necessarily mean they weren't willing participants of the act, only that said act was one of betrayal of oaths, and felt inherently wrong like it should.

He hid it away somewhere in Jah Keved, never to be seem again.

I already posted that before on this same thread, I think. That kind of permanent would also explain how he survived the first oathbreaking and yet fears he won't survive another. He was maimed, and a final blow is all it would take now.
