It's been a very long time since I read the trilogy, but I mostly agree with Pechvarry. If it was in fact his immediate conclusion that there was no god, that is odd. However, I think learning this and then developing doubts is completely rational. Sazed was hugely into religious studies and had extensive knowledge on many many religions, but if I recall correctly, he did follow a specific religion? Correct me if I'm wrong. But then he discovers that here is a super-powered entity "ruling" over his world, one that is real and tangible, but it doesn't fit directly with any of the multitude of religions he has studied. I can very much understand a gradual depression forming from this, but probably not something so instant was what the book seems to have portrayed.

Welcome indeed. Congratulations on getting further than I did in writing; aka starting a second book. Hopefully you enjoy the site!

After 3 years away, I'm back. I felt I should re-introduce myself as I have been gone for so long and I imagine the group of users here has changed and grown tremendously. Life happened and I disappeared. When I realized how close WoR was to being released, I began re-reading WoK since I only ever read it once to begin with and I was having trouble remembering details. And then out of the blue I started getting emails from 17th Shard and it hit me: I'd lost touch with the Cosmere. This is not ok. I've gone back and read some old discussions circa 2011 that I was involved in and... I am befuddled to say the least. I have forgotten so much about the basics like Honor and Odium and.... everything. I am hoping to return to the forums if time allows and relearn all that I have forgotten so that I may once again theorize within the Cosmere. With all that being said, I am going to continue reading through the topics but if anyone has any suggested threads for me to check out regarding any of the foundational/important Cosmere theories so I can bone up a little, I'd be more than appreciative of them. (With the exception of Cosmere 101 which I have just located and now chastise myself for forgetting it existed) Hello again, everyone.

“I know a good zinc counselor if you have need of some emotional aid.” Allomantic professions!

This is a super cool idea. I would buy whatever system a Mistborn game came out on, although it would most likely be available through PC I'd imagine.

Free trial titled "First Slice", then $9.99 for the whole game (the first one)and $49.99 for Portal 2.

I amend this statement to say that I can easily see either Elend or Spook being viewed as "Ascendant" do to the fact that they were both "boosted" in their Allomantic abilities.

Oh, League of Legends is fun. Time consuming, but fun.

Riddick isn't bad. I've seen the first two. I think there's a third one???

I agree that it is probably Vin. This was my initial thought and it has now been reinforced by multiple smart people.

I want to know more about the Ascendant Warrior.

This made my day awesome!

I would like to announce that I have removed Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword from my Christmas list due to the fact that I sold my Wii recently cause I needed to pay bills.

I use Google Chrome. Everything looks good.

YES!

I took the survey. Also, everything I said in it was positive!

I might have just downloaded a video converter to put videos on my iPod. This does not mean I'll download Merlin torrents. Cause that's bad. .....But I will. So you probably shouldn't PM me a good link.

DANG! You beat me to it.... LION FLAME THING!

I tried to post a blank post to describe the avatar of the person above me. It didn't allow me to do so.

Haha. Classic. Glad it only gets better. I'm on season 2 now but 3 isn't on Netflix yet so I'm trying to pace myself, lol.

So I just downloaded a game for my PC called PlaneShift. I played it once years ago. It is still in development. It's massively multi-player online and there is a role-play server and a non-role-play server, all 100% free. Anyone ever played it before?
