So, it appears that the whole Hoed mantra thing is Cosmere-significant, and //it's been 6 months since Oathbringer release, but I don't know how the Spoiler rules have changed, etc. I have included someone else's theory in a link below. I don't actually believe that theory, but it contains relevant information: Perhaps being Hoed is related to Savantism somehow?

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Xaladin replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
When you dub putting dating women on hold "going malen" while you get your financial situation under control ... -
So, we know how Fused are really ancient members of the Parsh race who have a kind of immortality like that of the Heralds, where they go more and more insane (or something like that). But do we know how they attained that status? How would a new Parshendi aspire to be a Fused? Not get possessed and killed by one, but rather be able to return (or Return...) after dying and possess a new body? edit: do I still have to put [OB] in the title since it's been more than 6 months now since the release of Oathbringer?

What's this about Endowment being at the end of the Well of Ascension? I read the "alternate ending" and I didn't see Endowment anywhere. The only hint of it was how Brandon said to "read Warbreaker." So what's this all about?

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...
Xaladin replied to Shardbearer's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I remember when I read LoTR for the first time as a kid my mom told me to skip the prologue. She herself had tried to get into LoTR but couldn't get past the prologue which is filled with a lot of detail (not all of which is relevant to the plot, etc.) and my dad told her "you always skip the prologue when you read LoTR, silly." Anyway, after Brandon Sanderson ... uh, no more prologue-skipping. They're not only plot-relevant but also EPIC. -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!

It is Sebarial. RShara's turn! -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Xaladin replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
It's not Siri. Third clue: The financial records of this character are somewhat dubious. -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Xaladin replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
It's not Shen. Second clue: This character does things which are frowned upon by the ambient society. -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Xaladin replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
OK, I'll start one but it's after midnight here so I'll go to bed. Perhaps this means lots of people can guess. First clue: This character is widely ignored (in world). -
Guess That Cosmere Character! Forum Edition!
Xaladin replied to Kidpen's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Darnit! It was 50/50 and I guessed wrong. It's Heelis (unless you changed your answer to steer away from guesses like a troll, lol). -

Ahan (Very minor Stormlight Archives spoilers)
Xaladin replied to Bort's topic in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
Why would she choose to be a darkeyes though? Wouldn't that draw unwanted attention? -
What is your favorite RELATIONSHIP in the Cosmere?!
Xaladin replied to TheHeadHancho's topic in Cosmere Discussion
Jasnah and Amaram, lol. More seriously, Wax and Steris is my favorite. -
Thanks for that. I'll give a +1 on its accuracy (I also have AS).

Kind of like Vin Juggling horse shoes? Dalinar would have to get really good at putting a fixed small amount of Stormlight on things. Obviously he would do this to climb with all fours, not walk horizontally. It would be like climbing with suction cups, like this:

[OB] Idea about the lunar orbits
Xaladin replied to ValentineMichaelSmith's topic in Stormlight Archive
@ValentineMichaelSmith FWIW I believe the word you are looking for is eccentricity of the elliptical orbits. A circle is an ellipse with eccentricity 0. An ellipse can have eccentricity between 0 and 1. Higher eccentricity gives you the other conic sections. The following wiki article may be helpful. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eccentricity_(mathematics) -
[OB] Describe a Character in One Word
Xaladin replied to MistbornAlpaca's topic in Stormlight Archive
Kiin: Rad Tonk Fah: Disturbing Navani: Seductress Rysn: Bold Demoux: Focused Dalinar: Boss Nightwatcher: Twisted -
Re: sneaking: One does not simply sneak up on Kaladin Stormblessed. You really think Syl will allow that? So even if Kelsier tries to get Kal in his sleep, it's not exactly game over.

theory [OB] Adolin and Shallan will not last
Xaladin replied to MonsterMetroid's topic in Stormlight Archive
Adolin has literally exhausted all other options. I identify. -
Ten for a year, Eleven for a year, Twelve for a year. After those three years, she's Thirteen. If it had said her third year being ten, then you would be right.

From near the end of part 4. So Nine is a number associated with Odium, whether because of Braize or of Odium itself/himself I do not know; but Nine is definitely an important number here.

Remember this from The Way of Kings prologue? They probably can hold it in their gemhearts. Some gemhearts might even be perfect gemstones, so they can hold on to the Light indefinitely.
