Quantus

OK, I entirely think the Fools are a cultural construct born out of the Heralds going crazy while wandering Roshar, interacting with people and leaving them disappointed when compared to their mythic persona's. But I like your version way better!

In a sense they are all related in that they were the ten most impactful books that shaped the modern Desolation era for Roshar. Im assuming they will be gathered as a related collection by (or after) the end of series events.

Much like the modern BSA, I suspect it varies by local chapter. Some maybe more integrated than others, some may still maintain the gender segregation. Vorin genders can barely eat at the same table, so Id imagine the local leaders would make more cultural concessions until the biases weaken. Also, the BSA has more and more craft and/or hobby pursuit badges than it used to, so I propose a Tailoring or perhaps "Fashion Studies" badge. You know, for Adolin.

Pancake "Redistribution"

We know a few specific things: It needs to be an in-world Work. Per this WOB, as of 2020 he was undecided if the T would need to be included to mirror "THE Way of Kings". At one point the planned title was Stones Unhallowed, so I suspect it would be thematically similar. It will feature the big Final Fight of the first half, after Ten Days of suspense building, so reasonable chance it will be an in-world tale about that Fight or the Refounded Knights arc as a whole. Since we have a pair of ancient books and a modern book for Humans and Singers, Im hoping for a book written by a Spren. And that introduces a lot of novel grammar possibilities the same way a Rhythm makes sense for a Singer record.

The Washington Monument has a capstone made of one of the rarest metals of its age: Aluminum. It takes huge amounts of that mysterious force called "Electricity" (ie. "Tamed" Lightning). But once you have a lot of it running your industry anyway, it becomes one of the more common and easily worked metals around. For Earth anyway.

Basically anything that helps with manipulation or deception should work, if the person is conscious and able to give them at all, so Emotional allomancy, Connection manipulation, and Lightweaving in some combination. Or just convince them Im a god the way they did in Hallandren. If they arent conscious or in control themselves: Hemalurgy could do it. A Bondsmith could probably do it the same way Ishar made the ground soak up those radiant's stormlight. If you can copy/mimic their Identity you could probably take it directly. A Rasyium dagger could likely do it, but might not clear the Identity lock.

Kalad's phantoms had mechanical joints in the stone. Awakening cannot (or at least does not natively) alter the intrinsic physical properties of the material, it cannot make solid objects more flexible, liquids more cohesive, etc.

Based on his wording in some other WOBs I think Hemalurgy is being used specifically as the Metallic Art of Investing metals with chunks of Stolen Spiritweb. We have seen Feruchemist that had an Aviar, and we know there is a Kandra (that is a She) on Roshar and was on screen in OB. Those technically might have been the same person, but the latter had to have Hemalurgy in the sense of Blessings regardless.

Khriss's random intervention had a lot to do with keeping Kelsier around long enough to become so Influential, so by that measure she's more influential than him since she gets partial credit for all the ripples he causes.

I would collect Perceptions. Achieve Tin Twinborn status via Hemalurgy or feruchemical medallions. Get lots of Breath for Heightenings. Fabrials to mimic the Trans-realmic and Connection Sight of some Radiant orders. Some form of Future Sight (Fortune Compounding, A-Gold, Enlightened Truthwatcher Lightweaving, etc) via hemalurgy, feruchemy or fabirals, etc.

The terms Boots and Sandals are both mentioned in Warbreaker and Stormlight Archive. Those are likely broad categories that probably get lumped together in the Connection translation sense, but I assume the materials and cultural styles found on each planet would differ quite a bit.

Pewter is the most rounded, and Tin is pretty nice if you groove on perception more than capability. Bendalloy also has a lot of appeal. Soothing and Rioting only appeal to me with the pair, but Im not sure I could choose between the two. Most of the spiritual ones are kinda useless without a population of mistings or mistborn around (or some other magic around) so they're useless to me in a sense of person and/or augmentation What if, and the same goes for Copper/Bronze.

Im pretty sure he already has. He's called Szeth out for being Cruel, and I dont think he was capable of that back in Warbreaker.

Absolutely. The issue with nightblood is that unless you give it a source of ready made Investiture, it will just take some of everything equally and kill the person. I that instance though, the Feruchemist is really just choosing which thing to feed Nightblood first, and the sum total they have is still going to pretty small by Nightblood's standards. Feruchemy alone would only really be helpful to feed him from a huge store of something that is easy to refill and energy dense by whatever Investure measuring scale may eventually be revealed. An allomancer would have a much better chance, they could "safely" wield Nightblood so long as they keep burning metal. And a Compounder would probably be the best because they could compound up huge stores and not have to worry as much about Burn rates.

I wonder if "the cognitive realm of Nalthis" would count as a whole new world? Because I desperately want to get a look at the society surrounding the customs system is going on there.

There's an upper limit to how many spikes you can have before you start to unravel entirely, which is a lot of why the Inquisitors didnt all get full sets fo the powers. But that just means you'd need to be in era1 to get full Mistborn and Feruchemist to spike the whole set.

Such an awakened object has a cognitive aspect, a Self. The rest is just Investiture and Connection shenanigans to get them a body in the Physical Realm. Spren do this with Bonds, Kelsier apparently did it with Hemalurgy. Stapling to a recently dead body may or may not be any easier than other options. A Mistwraith was tossed around a lot as a "blank" body kelsier might have used, for example. A Shard can do just about anything if they want to, and if they are not opposed by another Shard.

Dont overlook the works of Studio Ghibli, the are basically the Disney of Japan. Crunchyroll is one of the main streaming services for Anime, and while I can personally say the Roku app is crap, even their free access library is pretty good (might have commercials though?). It's a lot easier to find "Nothing Explicit" in the context of No Sexual situations than it is to find No Explicit violence. Most of your main shonen jump series have no sex but tons of violence. Naruto is a classic (and it's Next gen sequel Boruto is going strong), but there are lots of war themes and some character death, for example. For "Clean" anime the Sports anime genre is probably the safest by a wide margin. Most are very similar: a story about a high school team (or individual) as they strive and train for some big competition, all the while learning valuable lessons about friendship and teamwork. I liked Hajimo No Ippo (boxing) back in the day, and there was a volleyball one a while back that hooked me more than expected. They also come in less active "sports" like there was one about a kid becoming a Go champion (with the help of a ghost). Food Wars gets an honorable mention as it is probably the least "clean" thing that technically has nothing at all that is (literally) sexual or violent in it, since it's all about cooking competitions. But there are these "food orgasms"... (it's sort of a parody of anime as a whole).

It would probably work, though it might depend on how the energy decays, as in out into the world vs realmically. Aluminum will contain shardpool waters, for example, but you can operate realmic changes like Soulcasting within an aluminum room. If the decay goes directly into the Spiritual realm it might be hard to block that with aluminum. If it goes out into the physical world, or if the field disruption effect of aluminum is enough, then it could work. That being said, Nightblood's relation to it's sheath is a bit of an oddball thing:

Yup, it was after their arrival AND after the war breaking out with the Singers, because they were made in response to the Fused. Also in WOB he isnt sure that Shallash was born on Ashyn or after the Migration, and we know she had to exist when the Honorblades and Oathpact were created.

On retrospect, I think we were modelling this all wrong. Kandra are Trolls. They still take the damage (as compared to Plate or atium that actually stops/dodges it) but they have crazy Regen that lets them keep going in spite of it and get up eventually from nearly anything. So give them Regen that can only be disabled by paralysis or full mental incapacitation (sleep, paralysis, thralling, etc). If we are talking DnD 5e, I'd also give them Advantage on saves vs Poison. What about other effects, Do they get Immunity to natural Diseases?

I disagree, I think the shards will be heavily involved. But only because I think all this in the main sequence is going to be the backstory prequels to the main players of the final conflict, and so far they've provided two 2-3 Shards that were POV characters and a few Immortals that love to cameo. Having the Roshar's Ascendant antagonist actually be helpful and the savior character of Scadrial turn Discord (which will be a huge twist for 90% of the audience) would be right in line with the sorts of expectation subversion Branderson is great at.

Discord becomes extremely antagonistic. Odium actually does become the benevolent savior that he claims he will be, with his Fused Bondsmith Dalinar at the forefront. Several Cross-Cultural factions will exist and take sides. Some factions have Shardic sponsorship, some do not. Breaths will be farmed in morally questionable ways. Scadrians will have spread outward in the physical, causing a sort of Land Rush in the Cognitive as new area's emerge and Spren and Shadows scramble for control of them. Investiture Commerce will be extremely complex and the drive behind most small to mid scale war.
