I agree with Shaggai about Cultivation. I believe her mandate can be sumed up as "Progression towards more complex physical/biological and mental/social forms" To add my interpretation, I believe Honor's mandate is "Simetry", especialy, but not exclusively, social simetry, as in the golden rule.
-
Point 2: Places where people are more used to diversity there is often less fear of the "other", so human diversity is actualy good for Honor on the long term, and probably also something Cultivation would like, since I imagine her mandate would be something like a progression towards more complex and diverse social and biological forms, like a controlled evolution, and she probably wouldn't like if a sudden climatic change or epidemic wiped out her toys. Point 4: It makes no sense for Honor to wish to genocide humans, since he created them or brought them to Roshar, and his intent, wich I believe has to do with some sort of social simetry throught bonds and limitations, would make it more likely that he tried to find a way to make the conflict more equal to both sides and hope they give up after seeing it is not going nowhere. Just my opinion.

You are probably right, he deserved some rest, but the OP asked for possibilities and that was the first that came to mind.

A shardblade doens't cut living beings, but kills living matter by cutting throught its soul, so the only way for the arrow to cut flesh is after another cut the soul. And the only way to use such arrow non-letaly in any useful manner to stop anyone in combat would be to hit the core of a limb, wich would be rather hard to do. -
Why would there be a hole, if the soul gets cut first then? Also, a shardblade only kills the whole limb if it cuts its center, so I suppose it would only kill the flesh and organs it passes throught otherwise, so unless you hit something like the spine(classic burnt eyes corpse) or heart or brain you won't get an fast kill, if you manage to kill the person at all.

Kelsier's ghost/cognitive shadow is still around, maybe from being worshipped, maybe from his own willpower, so I suppose TLR is still out there hating everyone as well. It would be funny if Sazed kept both around as a pair of bickering adivisors.
-
I suppose I can accept that by coincidence the Alethi word also becomes simetrical if you accept "h" as a "joker letter", since it fits so well.
-
Why would you have a gaping hole in your chest? Are the arrows blunt, depending only on the force of the bow? Is the only purpose of using a spren arrow to not worry about carrying normal arrrows?
-
First, it is not heretical, just a somewhat blasphemous. Is some religions there is no difference, but that is not always the case, especialy in less extremistic ones. Second, that explanation wouldn't work in universe, since they don't speak english on Roshar.

Fourth oath of the windrunners (spoilers)
DreamEternal replied to Josiah Bills's topic in Stormlight Archive
Leading is natural to Kaladin. He never realy believed he wasn't good for leading people, he was always ready for it(at least when not locked into despair) and is actualy quite bad at obeying, not leading. For me it makes more sense for him to work further into protection, since leading is so natural to him and not sonething with as deep meaning to his life and his Order. The secondary attribute should be just that, secondary. Something that is part of the order, but revolves around the primary one. -
Jannaj-simetrical Jannah-"simetrical"(Pattern disagrees, but...) Jasnah-almost simetrical, perfect vorin name Navan-simetrical, and probably derived from Nalan Navani-almost simetrical, perfect vorin name Both are one letter away from simetry.

Allomantic Atium + Hemalurgic Atium = Cognitive Visibility?
DreamEternal replied to TheOneKEA's topic in Mistborn
Sounds similar to how WoR Spoilers: This also implies that future sight and perhaps other forms of clarividence are conected to the cognitive, wich is also supported in WoR by Perhaps by entering some limbo between the realms one dissociates from time and is able to see that wich is likely or certain to happen amidst the chaos of a timeline? Perhaps future sight is accomplished actialy by tapping into the minds and perceptions(cognitive aspects) of everything in the cosmere and calculating the most likely outcome? Maybe burning gold allows one to see the spiritual realm? -
Kaladin? Oh, and feel welcome, THS. Nice to have more people here.
-
The problem is that Taravangian's plans were partialy motivated by Gavilar telling him his visions at the night of his death(partialy, as a secret organization likr his is not something you create from nothing). I theorize he was working together with Gavilar(but not the Sons of Honour, who I think were being used by Gavilar to further his goals) as a spymaster of sorts, and after creating the Diagram he came to the ironic conclusion that he needed a truthless, so he went Szethspotting, and planned to create one if he couldn't find him.
-
To be fair with Kaladin Szeth was so shocked by SUDDENLY RADIANT! That he could give a hour long speech and Szeth would only remember his job after he stoped talking.

Honestly, I think Brandon will try to surprise us by having Elhokar's journey be not of learning how to rule well, but how to let other take the crown and seek his own path towards glory. Nice way to please both those who see potential goodness in Elhokar and those who see a bad king.
-
Plus, Elhokar is like an imature teenager way out of his depth, he wouldn't simply kill his uncle for bitterness, no matter how weird Dalinar's paternal instincts are. Actualy, I believe after that incident with Kaladin he will be less likely to imprision people for stupid reasons.
-
We really shouldn't base our impressions of a culture on a single person. Just because someone is a horneater it doens't mean that person will be aligned with the same order as Rock seems to be predisposed to.
-
Plus, if the avarage shin is as brainwashed into obedience as Szeth they would probably rationalize that an Everstorm does not mean it is another desolation or something like that, because disobedience is such an alien concept to them(after all, it took Szeth becoming insane after all the killing he did for no good reason, and them realizing that it was done as punishment for a crime he didn't do, and them being brought back from the dead by his god, for him to rebel.)
-
But if it was revealed that Adolin killed Torol Sadeas, Dalinar and the New Radiants would lose all their credibility, wouldn't they? I mean, Adolin did a terrible job covering his tracks, and he killed Sadeas close to the ace where their patrols met. The only way it could be worse was if a neutral highprince had been there before the two were left alone too.
-
The ghostbloods are a bunch of criminals in search of unknow knowledge for what are most likely nefarious purposos, who are not afraid of assassinating potential recruits The Sons of Honor are misguided fanatics thinking starting a desolation too bring their religion to power is good for the world, but at least the probably won't kill those who seek to join them. Yeah, I will take the Diagrammists then. At least they seem to know what the hell is happening and aren't likely to kill one another.

6. Plus, maybe Yolen(the original world) and humanity were destroyed by the Shattering and only a few worldhoppers and the shardholders remained and had to recreate it from scratch.

Who wrote the back cover synopsys of The Way of Kings book?
DreamEternal replied to rtfirefly's topic in Stormlight Archive
Also, Cusicesh is only suspected to be a "godspren", and most likely one that got somehow broken. The theory about godspren is centered around the idea that above a certain threshold of power a splinter ceases to be a regular spren and follows a different set of rules. This would explain how bondsmiths could come from bonding both the Nightwatcher andvthe Stormfather, wich are so different. *Altought I don't truly believe this theory, prefering to think the Stormfather, being as mighty as he is, can bond multiple Radiants. -
Just a thing that I notice during a TFE reread: Kelsier didn't notice TLR's soothing going throught his coopercloud, or at least he didn't until before his death, when TLR was focusing in him. This gives credit to the theory that hemalurgy weakened the barriers of her mind.
