I actualy hope the threat of Sazed becoming Discord stays that. A threat. Because I think it is more interesting for him to become more aloof and dangerous in his quest to do good while balancing his powers. His new worldview of both Ruin and Preservation being necessary coukd make him a fascinating anti-hero, espevialy if he stays the top dog of the Cosmere. He was Discord and loved for it when a mortal. He will be Harmony as a god, an they will hate him for it. Of course, if he manages to be both Harmony and Discord at once, motivating conflict and cooperation between his Ruin and his Preservation as he sees fit to advance mankind, in a great plan to circunvent the limitations of his intent.

Sorry, but... Presumably they can be both, most likely at least sentient, and have a small chance of being neither.

No.

No again. I may drop a hint if it gets too hard.

There is an WoB that Bavadin holds autonomy, but the identity of Trell remains unknow.

Neither. Try to look at the words in a metahorical way.

No.

I think you are talking about the crystal structure of metals in Scadrial working like the shape of Aons does on Sel.

Why should we? It is just like saying "Universe". Brandon just "translated" it as part of his plan to slowly bring the cosmere connections to the main plot.

Sorry. I was thinking about the daughter part and posted without even looking the full post twice. OK, now my turn: Ever towering, ever free, heavens above and heavens beneath, Silent master, gentle guardian, Eternal tower of the ever free.

Why is Kaladin wearing gloves?

Source?

Nalan told Szeth the only beautiful thing inbthe world was a man who could always keep his word. I suspect behind his stoic mask he carries deep feelings of guilty and is trying to do what is right, in a twisted way.

How did you escape that pyramid so fast?!

Tanavast.

The Spiritual realm isn't the true afterlife, though. It is beyond the Realms, and if shards can interact with it it is not easily.

Because of their isolationism and how sure they were of Szeth's obedience, like it was expected of every Shin. Plus, a priest governed society where people who touch weapons willingly give up their freedom? And none of them refuse? And how they see everyone outside Shinovar as a sinner, because *gasp* there is no soil outside Shinovar, so they step on stones. So leaving because you disagree will damnation your soul. And how they find it OK to send a living weapon of mass destruction for outsisers to kill one another with. They sure aren't an accepting, open-minded society.

No, no, no. That destroys all the romance in their relationship. Stupid time making things shallower.

Actualy, more people use it. Steris uses it in the Bands of Mourning chapters Brandon released, as does Jasnah in Way of Kings, and perhaps another scholars. Just assume it is their word for Universe, or a translation liberty of sorts, because in pratice they are saying "Universe" while Brandon is droping hints to less connected readers that his books share an Universe.

It makes the scene more powerful from a personal standpoint, in my opinion, if it is just surprisingly rational conclusions by a dying man. Especialy considering how well it fits with him analysing his injuries and thinking about his father.

Honestly, I feel it was good, but Marasi convincing Wayne to move on felt a tad forced. And I almost cringed at how distorted the popular perception of Vin became .

Why couldn't it be just Kaladin?

I didn't vote for him because he is going to be there anyway. Him doing what he did makes him more interesting to read about in my opinion.

Wonderful. Just wonderful. Vasher killed investiture termodynamics in the worst way possible. >:-(
