  1. the reason there ae so many "farmboyto hero" storys is because that is the basis of almost every story.  going from a state of weakness to a state of strength.  look at harry potter, everyone loves it, but it's just Hary going from being an orphan raised by abusive relative and living under the stairs, to him being able to defeat the dark lord. Star wars, Luke was just a moisture farmer, but ended up becoming a jedi, and defeating the emperor.  in SA kaladin goes from bridgman to Knight Radiant.  In batman the drak knight rises, he is a prisoner who isn't very good at fighting to batman.  every story is either from a state of weakness to strength, or a state of strength in one area to a state of strength n another area.  

  2. I have the companion, so if there is something you want me to translate into the old tongue, I will put the word in Italicized letters, the the word/phrase, then the direct translation if it is different than the word.  I have done a few, such as Hou'Daghain- Nightmare, Direct- Dream Fear.  so please send me some requests.  

  3. Because he has a humility, he blames himself for every single death that happens in one of his squads, and is constantly trying to be better.  besides, he is the one who beat Szeth, And is one of the first characters you meet, we have known him before Shallan, before the Highlord, only 2 other veiwpoint characters are met before him, Szeth, and one who introduces Kal but dies.  

  4. WoT is not in the cosmere, although playing with the idea is fun.  but it was started by another author, listed on 17th shard as a non-cosmere work, and has no shards, i highly doubt WoT is on earth though, even if the idea is played with so much that some people beleive it.  if it were earth, shara and seanchan would overlap.  which, they do not.  and the amount of days in the year is different as well.  Plus robert jorden had created the entire world of wheel of time long before brandon stated work on the sereis.  and that is why, next month we will have the wheel of time companion coming out with all that jordan had for that world.  

  5. My character wears a large blue trench coat, open, a blue shirt, Black military boots and Black pants.  He has blue eyes, Carries many pouches of spheres and Stormlight holding gems within his trench coat, Two small pistols as well, if this is in that time period, And the buttons on his trench coat are blue gems with the Windrunner symbol on them, like my profile picture.  He has brown hair,and he wears a dark blue cowboy hat.  

  6. The reason is this: if it was completely unearth like, then the characters wouldn't be human, but then we wouldn't read it because we can't relate to the characters in any way.  The closer we the readers are to something in the book, the more interesting it is for us.  The animals are another way for us to relate to Roshar,but Authors make it another world because it means they can do whatever they want with it, and no one can criticize them for being inaccurate.  And we as readers find it interesting.  A story has to be close enough to the reader that they can relate, but far enough that it is a new experience.  

     

    Notice that every story that takes place on a world that is not earth, they have earthly animals.
