Finally caved and listened to the reading. Very gun stutter, was not expecting flying cars. I wonder how much medallion tech will be available for our protagonists. Something to note is that neither of these chapters are the prologue. I wonder what will be used to hook us into the book. Will it be Kelsier's perspective again like it was in Final Empire? I would love that

Brandon has said Fullborn are impossible to happen naturally. A spirit web cant get that much power without an intervention of some kind. As for the Ancestries. All of those should be open to Koloss-Blooded, no reason why not. The Kandra however is more a mystery, Brandon has been cagey on them getting powers other then from Hemalurgy so the Brotherwise team will have to bring this up to Brotherwise.

Really hope we see it soon, its been a month now

I don't think that's likely. Until we get wob confirmation it shouldn't be the long since the events on Roshar. A couple centuries at most. Starling still says its been 10,000 years since the Shattering

Yeah but like again, that is not how Breaths work. You can't steal them. You bring up good points so I can't say I know why now but just that its made explicit Breaths van not be stolen. If they could I would again point to

Very nice and awesome breakdown for homebrew, its interesting the rulebook doesnt have much rules for aluminum weapons. I wonder if it will show up more in Mistborn?

Because stormlight leaks, Breaths do not. Breaths are sticky, they want to stay in the soul. Its why you can only get Breaths if its given willingly and why WaT

I'm doubtful Raysium can steal Biochroma. That stuff is sticky, it be like if raysium could draw out people's souls. That only happens with Cognitive Shadows so for normal Breath I doubt it

The manacles detect all harm not just what she does. I'm saying the amount of damage you need to do to try to cut a dragon's arms would likely trup the manacles. Remember she appears human but her durability is still dragon

With the fact he can do it solo yes. I'd say creating planets would fit very well with his intent

So the devs have gave us details. In Mistborn here are the things that are different. In the 6 Heroic Paths, they will replace at least one specialty talent tree from each Path and two for Hunters and Warriors with specialties more fitting for Scadrial, stuff like Hazekiller, Gunslinger, Masterminds and so on. This would replace the specialties like Shardbearer and Artifabrian. For the Invested Paths, there will be five. Mistborn, Feruchemist, Misting, Ferrings, and Twinborn. They will get access to 17 talent trees, the 16 metals and atium. These trees will typically be be shorter then the Surge trees with their number ranging from 6 to 3 and having no talents for Allomantic Aluminum and Feruchemical Nicrosil. There won't be a Path for Hemalurgy, they want to hold back on it until ethical Hemalurgy shows in the books. Instead Hemalurgic Spikes will be Rewards you get on completing goals, like the Ideals or Shardblades. You can get them you just won't be able to make them. For Ancestries there will be humans, Kandra, and Koloss-blooded. Kandra and Koloss-blooded will have their own talent trees. Thats pretty much everything we know as of now

I think if she tried her manacles defenses would activate and put her into comasleep. That is the most likely scenario

From how Starling said it, to me it implied that Taldain and Invention's worlds don't need to rely on aethers for their ships. Again that is how I read and isnt confirmed in the text as you pointed out. While Starmarks are a mystery(though there are hints they deal with hard light) i think you right its possible they could use White Sand to be more effective then the aethers. We know that when mastered the Sand taps right into the Spiritual Realm. There could be more going on there but that is just my current theory for now

So there is a problem with this statement. While having of scientific principles are good and it what lead Taldain ahead over most of the Cosmere. That won't allow you to crack FTL. To crack FTL in in the Cosmere, you need magic. The thing thats important here is that Starling implies that Taldain's ships are independent from other civilizations in the Cosmere, for they can power their ships without aethers. Aethers are a magical resource given to use to act as both fuel and propellet so efficient then anything we have IRL can compare. It was made so space travel was actually feasible and thats not even the ftl part yet. Not only does Taldain not use it they have something better. You can only get that from magic, whether its White Sand or Starmarks they will have a factor in their technology to allow them to be this superior. That is the only possibility that can make sense when it must compare with the tech we see in Emberdark.

It is yes. Which i find very interesting. Like how, what part of their magic helps with that? I so want to know

Very cool. For me personally though I see the divide more to shared themes and natures. Like I'd have it something like this Possible groups - Mercy, Valor, and Honor - Odium, Devotion, and Ambition - Autonomy, Endowment, and Dominion - Preservation, Ruin, and Cultivation - Virtuosity and Invention These are the themes I'm picking up anyway. Whimsy is Whimsy, and the last one is unknown.

I'd basically take anything in the World Guide and Adventure as proper lore, while the gameplay itself in the handbook probably has some compromises. Though should still be correct in broad strokes

The audience isn't revealed but there are more hints to what it is. Note the time frame your thinking of doesn't totally fit. So though Scadrial is the most tech advance. At this stage its not the only candidate

Crimson is the enigma for me, because unlike the rest it is just referred to as Crimson so we have a hard time placing it. It could be metal, it could be bone, why does it manifests as spikes? We just don't know so I can't say it with confidence what it represents

I don't think invitation is the normal state. From how its described, i think there is something weird going on with the Ire, and that facilitate it. Because note it is possible to become an Elantrian through Forgery, so in theory Aon Dor should also allow it, but maybe their is some stipulations thus the deal. That's where my mind is going anyway

it is avaible for digital read, though it is quite the price. Still thats how I read it

I'd very suggest reading it as the Omnibus. A lot of the Ars Arcanum pages have a lot of details that would be relevant as well as the additional mentions of the Darkside Magic system, which the original ones lack

Its manly the Skaze, splinters of Dominion that people have seen as evil. We still don't know their place in everything is

Note the metals in Allomancy is also refered to as catalysts by Brandon at points. Its use casually isn't strictly kept to its scientific use

Just having bottled Dor isn't enough, we see Elantrians drink Dor in Secret History and they remained old. Reread the scene in Lost Metal, the drawing of the map of Bilming and how that seemed to stabilized their power. Now think back to the Sorcereress Tower, and the world map of Lumar they had on the floor. Consider that, with their similarities. That is most likely answer on how they figured out getting their full power outside of Elantris
