What is the "Rock" Hoid was named after? (Way of Kings)
DreamEternal replied to WayneSpren's topic in Stormlight Archive
I believe Hoid is of artificial origin. Two times it is implied there is something deeply "wrong" about him, once when Vin decides to not speak with him because of a sudden feeling of dread, and latter with Shallan feeling afraid of him at first. Then,when he speaks to Kaladin he says he began life as an idea, and latter says fleet is as real as he is. Since enogh investiture can make anything sentient under the right circunstances I suspect that Hoid was somehow created from pure investiture in solid form. He is the "rock". -
So, sanderspren?

Wasn't it implied by Brandon that TLR knew how to worldhop, or at least was aware it was possible, but never bothered with it because he was too busy managing an empire to go hoidhunting?
-
Vin?

Vivenna? She was hidden away by her father. She was "protected" by the mercenaries. She found her way back into their hideout by remembering about the statue in the park in front of it. She abandoned her former life to become Vasher's apprentice. She used to hate Halladren(sp?) and almost started a war with it. Vasher, who is worshiped as Peacegiver, rescued her and together they stoped a war.

A fanspren should follow fans around, so it isn... I should probably stop correcting people. How about sanderspren?

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)

The healing from stormlight should make me immune to allergies, and since it can heal the very soul I suspect it can reverse curses, or at least get my voice back. HA! -
Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
DreamEternal replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted. You play every game that involves a tiny bit of roleplaying as a death seeker after surviving once. I wish to be able to burn metals to get stormlight. -
Rashek? The memory of crystal could be the memory of his uncle who No idea about the fear and the pillagers

The visions didn't start right after his brother's death, did they? I remember he was already at the shattered plains, with the greatest number of gemhearths, when he began to change.

Nightwatcher Boon/Bane (Game)
DreamEternal replied to killersquirrel59's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Granted, but you must fill every attribute at once, and tap only one at a time, else you go blind. I wish to ressurect my shardpen so I have a bond with an authorspren. -
I wouldn't say Kaladin has a total lack of reverence towards religion. He just isn't devout at all and has no problems with people of other religions, but a total lack of reverence? Still, he most likely wouldn't care about Jasnah's atheism.

"If everyone is looking for something what do you seek?" "A good reason to die. That is what every being with a soul truly seeks, I think." "A reason to die? I'd say looking forward to finding one is already finding it. You probably meant a good reason to live." "They are the same, child, and I hope that when you learn why it isn't the same way I did. Learning this will make you a better woman." EDIT: changed the wording to better fit the characters. Yes, I am that obsessive. EDIT2: Context: the character who is looking for a reason to die is an Ember, a powerful magic user who had his potential awakened by a near death experience, in his case a suicide attempt. Embers only last a couple years at most, so he is looking for a cause in wich his last days will be able to make a difference.

World misconceptions that are difficult to shift.
DreamEternal replied to ljósmóður's topic in Stormlight Archive
And since its words in most grammatical classes are not limited to a set sufix, it is good for rhyming without worring too much about feeling like you are cheating by taking a cheap rhyme. Each language has its strenghts, I guess? -

DreamEternal replied to ljósmóður's topic in Stormlight Archive
I could say the same about english. Or probably any language, but especialy english. Not saying my language (portuguese) is perfect of course, with the psychotic behavior of the X for exemple. -

DreamEternal replied to ljósmóður's topic in Stormlight Archive
I suppose Dalinar's good looks are as much of a constant as his beard and blue uniform? I myself imagine him with a face that was handsome one day, but now us full of scars. Mraize looks like a younger Dalinar without a beard. Hoid looks nothing like Mraize, despite Shallan flat out saying she almost mistook one for the other. EDIT: yes, I know Dalinar has no beard. EDIT:TYPOS. EVERYWHERE. -
Who wrote the back cover synopsys of The Way of Kings book?
DreamEternal replied to rtfirefly's topic in Stormlight Archive
What if there is a group in Shinovar that seeks to return the ancient magics, and tried to convert a stone shaman apprentice to their cause by revealing the next desolation is near? Except they choose the most brainwashed shin in all Shinovar, Szeth. So he warned his superiors that they must give their shardblades to the rest of Roshar, wield the honorblades and protect the world, as their ancient mission states. But the SS denounced it as a false, blasphemous alarm, and the punishment for raising a false alarm is to be a truthless. -
Sorry if my defense of Amaram was hurtful to your senses. May I recomend the Nightwatcher boon/bane thread? I doubt the payment required for minor amnesia is too great an expense for one such as you.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!! I SHALL DEFY YOU!You see, Amaram is but a product of the society in wich he lives that recognizes the flaws of such society, but didn't manage to outgrow the way if thinking that was instiled in him. Remember that when Dalinar said that the ends do not justify the means even his children were shocked? And if the avarage lighteyes believes that a pointless war fought for riches under the pretest of vengeance, one that would most likely end with the pratical or literal enslavement or extermination of the parshendi for the crimes of their leaders, is a good enough end to justify such disregard for their own subjects, then why blame Amaram for thinking the reformation of Alethkar, a truly noble goal, justifies the killing if some soldiers? Especialy when so many more are slaughtered in pointless wars? His sparing of Kaladin happened because for one moment he realized the evil of his actions, proving there is still room for redemption. Yes, he did come to regret his mercy, but why shouldn't he? If an avarage man is punished for a behavior he did out if impulse, risking his altruistic plans, his life work, wouldn't he come to regret it as moment if weakness, instead of changing his whole worldview to see that action as right and everything else he did as wrong? At the very least, Amaram can be a very virtuous man once the world has no need for his plans. EDIT:TYPOS. Too much typos. Everywhere.

No, you don't get it, Sadeas/Lift and Dalinar/Lift are horrible afronts to Szeshonai! All my mad theories and ships make sense at some level, but are extremely unlikely, for exemple: I suspect Shshsh is the Nightwatcher, and Dalinar's boon was to find a woman he loved more than Navani. See? Makes some sense, yet it is totaly insane. Same with Eshonai, if she manages to restore herself, Szeth, if he gets redeemed. It can make some sense, but it will never happen. Kaladin/Jasnah is way more likely than the previous two, even if somewhat far from what one would expect.

Dalinar, Sadeas's murder and public opinion
DreamEternal replied to kari-no-sugata's topic in Stormlight Archive
There is an independent judiciary by the looks of it actualy, since when Elhokar arrested Moach's grandparents under Roshone's request they had the right of a fair trial. Of course, it isn't strong or independent enough to stop him from delaying the trial indefinitely. -
And? It makes a relationship somewhat less likely, but not impossible. Plus, if a man can date a much younger woman and no one bats an eye, why can't the opposite happen?Of course, I am the guy who jokingly shipped Szeshonai, so I may not be fully serious

You wish no boon? Okay, your bane is to have to wish away my next bane. I wish to stop screaming at ChocolateRob's ear.
