    Would make most people regret?

    If I remember well, he weights slightly more than he should, although that may be because of the metal sheat.

    Because if you have the chance to make it cooler without changing what matters, you should at least try. The author is the maker of a work, but his word is not holy.

    I made a theory(link on my sig) about Renarin joining the Hierocracy, based only on the prophecies the hierocrates said they made. Do I qualiy as a Theoryweaver?

    I think you skipped me...
  6. DreamEternal
    Yeah, I knew your identity all along, it is just that the joke was so forced...

    Why didn't they understand? It is mostly about a big siege, after all.

    I am... Sorry? I am not sure what I did... Can you explain why the "Hey!"? If you want I will edit my message.

    But he wouldn't be alive anymore after being soulcast, so he would be cold for the rest of his life then have a warm and volatile corpse.

    For not being taken over by the Ookla fever! Oh, and liking Flight Rising.

    Cult leaders often make themselves exempt from their own rules. I wouldn't assume the Stone Shamans aren't hypocrites.

    No, truthless are different from common warrior-slaves. In the WoK Rysn interlude it is said it is forbidden to sell a normal Shin warrior to foreigners, but this does not apply to to a truthless. Who knows what else is different?

    I think the difficulty comes from the difference in how they are balanced, since shardblades are less dense and bigger, and how you must be more careful when using a normal, destructible sword, since you can't just smash it against the hard parts of enemy armor, block with the edge, or not worry about hitting terrain or getting the blade stuck in a dead enemy's flesh.EDIT: plus, shardplates make their wearers stronger, faster and thougher in a way not too different from Allomantic pewter. Losing that would take a long time getting used to.

    That is ibteresting, but most likely false. There is no clue on how many Stone Shamans there are, and whatever the keepers of the honorblades are a subgroup of them or all of them. I agree with this part. I don't think it would be like that. If every insane Shin was given a sword, a rock, and deported, then shin slave-warriors wouldn't be so unheard off.I think Truthlessness is a very specific punishment for raising the alarm wrongly. The fact Szeth refers to what he did as raising the alarm and that in his narration he mentions that the Shamanate told him "The powers of old are no more. The Knights Radiant have fallen. We are all that remains." makes me think the Stone Shamanate wad created to guard the honorblades and knowledge ofbthe Desolations until the True Desolation, but they grew drunk with power and turned the whole Shin society into an isolationist cult dedicated to serving them. If an acolyte like Szeth convinced the people of Shinovar that the True Desolation was indeed coming, they would be forced to lose their power, so they simply told him he was wrong. After all, he was one of the most loyal members of the most brainwashed group of fanatics in Roshar. If the cult leaders told him he was wrong, he was. Denying that would mean denying the pillars if his warped reality. So, as tradition dictates, for the crime of almost waking Shinovar up too soon he was to condemn his own soul.

    Not really "pretty heavy". It is said they weight about the same as a normal sword, and probably not a greatsword, since they can be wielded one handed with little trouble. They probably weight 4lbs at most, maybe less. It is just that the bridgemen expected them to be as light as feathers and distant dreams.
  17. DreamEternal
    True. And if we were being loyal to the books, we would have to try to find curses that are proportional to the wish, not extremely greater.

    Count portuguese among those languages you just can't stick two words together. I dread the day SA gets translated .

    I think Sila is the best name, but then, in the book I am trying to write I have to make a concious effort to not fit an "i" into every name.

    Loneliness... Being such an introvert, sometimes I forget most people dislike feeling alone. I feel sorry for not knowing how to help .

    Perhaps, but the kind of people who become squires is often very different from their Knight. I think that while what you said is true, there is also a process in wich the Knights recomend possible initiates for the spren, to make sure the newly bond spren and the Radiant have proper instruction. Of course, that depends on how far goes the ability of a Radiant or group of Radiants to contact Shadesmar without the surges.

    About Helaran being a surgebinder, there is also the possibility that when he said training, he meant regular training against assassins, spies and anything a secret society may throw her way, since as far as he knew she was most likely an agent of another secret society.

    The first reminds me of saphires and the night sky, so how about Jesia (as in, Jes is the Essence associated with saphires and windrunners) The second... Maybe Shash? It is the essence of blood and ruby
  24. DreamEternal
    I am a what? Somewhere between newbie and regular, perhaps?

    I think I read that review before. It is just shocking how he was so obvious in his trolling, refusing to end the book and complaining about things not being immediately explained. Although it also speaks well of those who replied in the beggining how they first assumed it was just a completely clueless person and tried to be rational.
