The whole conqeuring of Opelon is mainly to do with Wyrn's statements in interpreting his 'visions'. I believe there's some WoBs on TL with the context but my memory is hazy

@Zathoth For my fellow Cthulhu cultist, ofc EDIT: Nvm on the mudkip front! though I still need a trading partner, everyling is asking for 'daries just for basic or slightly harder evolutions -.-

Slight deviation, but does anyo e have a mudkip to trade/be general trading partner for my OR? The PSS is so...annoying and the GTS is unrealistic and limiting

....I love Falafel

Well, we don't actually know why. TES is early Cosmere so Hoid's aims/goals would even harder to guess at than usual but it wasn't his first visit to Sel, as he'd appeared in Elantris (but he has visited even earlier than that). We don't know exactly how the Sceptre does what it does or if it can have any further capabilities but he seems to want for something.

The Elantrians were never dead, Raoden explains the Shaod/Reid in book. They were stuck in the metamorphosis stage, between heartbeats, breaths; like a computer command that hasn't fully completed it's routine because one piece of the coding needs to be changed or something needs to be added

That's how I read it, as we had the WoB from the Calamity tour about the SF and NW in terms of Spren level

I would venture that given how unique the situation might be with the Heralds and original terms of the Oathpact, they might function a little differently than other CS we have seen, as we know Shades have possibly come into contact the Ire

I thought I saw an old WoB read it as E-LAWN-tris....weird

Hooray and upvotes for @Argent

She mentions a colleague who's an expert in pre-Shattering biography and history in the Scadrian essay (so possibly a native Yolenese/ITE), while she describes herself as an Arcanist. Given how Yolen is inaccessible, I'm guessing this coworker may be from there or has spoken to a native to acquire said information

More an interesting curiosity question if anyone feels like asking ; are there any huge leviathan/krakan/titan-class Greatshells lurking in Roshar's ocean and could Odium use them to his advantage if so?

Very true, nor do we know if each essay is set around the same time as each book or if Khriss wrote them all in one go

Didn't mean in the literal sense, late night posting and all that haha As for the theory, I'm definitely with you that boundaries to the realms would no doubt be a little softer

I believe this was one of the driving reasons behind Ishar's actions from that excerpt.

I think we have it via WoB that when the Stormfather became Tanavast's CS, he also dispersed a fair bit of the power in the form of more Spren (which would stop what happened on Sel)

I just finished my reread, and would like to point out that Patji's eye was coloured green, which may or may not link it having some Shardic flavour

I am eager to hear it, as I found an old post a few months ago with some old WoBs about a LerAtium alloy/metal. I was wondering whether or not Ambition was the Shard that had been Splintered and left in space

I'm trying to decide if they were what Shades were before A&O's clash or perhaps they may be another outcropping of Investiture. More questions include; why, in-book, those Rules in particular?; why green eyes, was it Ambition's colour?; did Shades act differently prior to the clash?; how self-aware are the Shades?; how do Shades know when the Rules have been broken?

Just noticed something in my reread of SfSitFoH; In addition to Shades, Silence mentions a group called 'Deepest Ones'. Could anyone possibly ask about these andif they have any connections to Shades?

Questions part deux Can we get a canon pronunciation of Bavadin? And a very much needed; Do you have a canon term for each Shard's characteristic Intent/Mandate?

I thought it was for another reason that Brandon RAFO'd when asked

Hmm; If the Heralds are kind of like Cognitive Shadows, and they go to Braize when they die (which is full of Splinters/Spren) And with Kalak's vague description of hooks and other bad stuff in WoK Combined with the knowledge of what a certain someone experienced in SH Perhaps they undergo something similar in Braize's Shadesmar

Holy falafel chouta, Shardman! Well that solves the problem, and explains a few things in the graphic novel (the faces mainly)

I was trying to fi d the Trell = Dominion thread but no luck. With Sel's essay, and the revelational belief the planet is gaining self awareness, and the whole Fjordish belief in Jaddeth arising from the earth, I motion that Trell isn't just Dom but is the Dor itself incarnate into Jaddeth
