Saw the tweet and have been waiting for the reveal of the contents! Now you should just send it to me :-)

Stomach acid started ;D

On the slopes

Just finished "Fallen Dragon" by Peter F. Hamilton. Starting re-read of "Knife of Dreams" by Robert Jordan.

Ruin wasn't able to see metal clearly but as bright lights (if I recall correctly). Could it be similar that the Almighty wouldn't see spren?

The Time Master Trilogy by Louise Cooper Stole this from Amazon.. good teaser: This is a series that I read many years ago and still something I remember with fondness.

"The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. Awesome book!

Not sure if this is directed at me or not. But.. There are still 16 personalities to the shards. I doubt because Sazed is holding two of them that you would remove the personalities from the count. Removing "Ruin" from Sazed would make Sazed Preservation. But as he has two which are odds at one another, he is neither "Preservation" or "Ruin", thus you would say that the mixture has created a new personality. Boldness added by me. Therefore, you are wrong. The closest you are to being right is that Sazed could be a PART of Seventeenth Shard, but I doubt this as well. From my reading of the posts on this thread, no one has gone ahead and said Sazed is the one-and-only member of the group "seventeeth shard". I only said that he could have formed or played a significant role in its formation and they play homage to Sazed by the group's name.

Each of the Shardholders reflect the persona of their shard. My suggestion was, since Sazed holds two shards, he isn't either Preservation or Ruin. Since the shards could still be separated from Sazed (evidenced by death of Leras and Ati, Aona and Skaze), you wouldn't remove them from the total-shard count. If you were to consider yourself different from Preservation and Ruin, I'd assume you'd simply have a new name for yourself - thus the 17th is born. I still think its feasible that Sazed has a role to play in the group "seventeeth shard". If people have started world-hopping, why couldn't Sazed be involved? With his thirst for knowledge and now immortality/time to play with he could have hopped worlds or instructed others to look for people with information on shards. (Note: this is more of a theory considering there definitely isn't enough information out there on the events after Hero of Ages or the seventeeth shard other than a few references.)

I didn't pick up until recently (another post) that the Almighty and Stormfather are two separate beings. My gut reaction was that the Almighty was still alive, yet hidden away, which I further compounded with "Hoid's" letter as the possible addressee. Would a Herald really be patrolling the storms? If he was so worried about Kaladin riding the storm, shouldn't he be worried that his presence would be noticed?

I know my idea falters with not explaining why Sazed wasn't referenced in tWoK or how the Elantarians got involved. But if they started world hopping it'd only be a matter of time before worlds meet (Sel and Scadrial)...

Who spoke to Kaladin while he was Stormsurfing (I'm sure there's a better term) in Chapter 46 'Child of Tanavast'?

I'm going to throw this out there: Sazed was looking into the past once he took the powers of two shards. I'd theorize that he would still be looking into the mystery? Now that he has the powers of both Preservation and Ruin, would he consider himself as a new single entity instead of two separate shards, thus creating the "seventeeth shard"?

Is the Thrill limited to Shardbearers only? I would have thought that the Thrill was of Odium. From my understanding it incites the mortals to continue to wage war on one another and enjoy it. Isn't that what Odium wants?

1. Not-long (good and bad points). I watched my first episode in 2008 which makes me a relative newb and I've missed out on so much (bad point). The great thing is, I don't have to wait each week for a new episode since they've already been made (yay for good points!). 2. What's not to like. I love the universe-building, the spirit in everything-is-going-wrong situations and the challenge/problems he finds himself in from week to week. 3. David Tennant! 4. Undecided. Time of Angels two-parter made it more scary. Midnight/Library were scarier!
