I just came across this and I am interested. When are you guys getting together?

Since Kandra are simply a pile of muscles, tissue and brain matter they don't need a circulatory system. So, do they have a beating heart? It's a muscle, so they could make one and have it beat, but I wonder if they typically do. I don't remember one bleeding either. If not it's a good way to find them. Your thoughts?

Awesome!

I love this thread and look forward to many more posts!

Why is TES "book 2" of Elantris??
Boongeebee replied to Thealps's topic in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
I'd join that group! -
And... BOOM!

Yeah!!! -
I was a little confused by question 2 of the Elantris one.

Are the city Skaa leased? I believe they got paid. Not enough to actually accumulate wealth, but they seemed slightly better off than the plantation Skaa. They were not kept track of like plantation skaa. How else could the crew walk around without being conscripted?
-
Thanks! Possibly, but not every house in the Final Empire had Atium. Kelsier asks Dockson who to raid for Atium in early in Mistborn: The Final Empire, so not all houses had a stash. Also, if you don't have a mistborn or need to hire a kandra, why would you keep some on hand?

I thought there must be taxes, after all what government doesn't tax it's people. Thanks for the info! I am running a MAG campaign where the crew is trying to topple a great house. I was trying to think of secrets the house could have that would be damaging. I figured doing something against the Steel Ministry would fit the bill, but no tax evasion with no taxes and I couldn't remember taxes mentioned in the books.
-
I second!

How does the Steel Ministry support itself? It has been a little while since I read the books, but I don't remember any taxes. I remember only a few ways the Ministry gets money 1. The nobility pays Obligators to witness things, but that seemed to go to the individual Obligator and didn't seem to be that much money. 2. The plantation nobility also leased the Skaa, but that doesn't seem to be enough to support a government. Especially with all the "special" projects done by the Lord Ruler. 3. Atium. Again doesn't seem to make enough money for an entire government.

Some of my co workers and I started a campaign, but we are out west. Sorry.

The Nature of Allomancy as it relates to AonDor
Boongeebee replied to tobar14's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I think the two systems are fundamentally different. AonDor seems to affect mostly external things and Allomancy seems to affect mostly internal things. It is an interesting theory though. -
The Nature of Allomancy as it relates to AonDor
Boongeebee replied to tobar14's topic in Cosmere Discussion
So, your theory suggests that someone who has snapped would only need to have a model of a pewter (or any other allomantic metal) molecule and channel preservation through it in order to gain the benefits of said metal?
