Fair enough, do we have confirmation that cognitive issues cannot be healed? Is there a WoB I haven't seen?

Adien was born with his mental disorders, they weren't caused by an injury.

Well, we know that Investiture can heal mental disorders. Becoming an Elantrian healed Adien. One thing to keep in mind is that healing in the Cosmere often has to do with how you view yourself as normal. I suspect if Miles had seen his instability as unhealthy or at least not normal for him then it would have been healed (similar to the Slave brand on Kaladin).

This WoB should be considered:

...

I've never seen a WoB regarding this but I'd love to if someone has it. With that said, there is a WoB that confirms that Tien was Autistic. I suspect that this is actually where his interest in rocks comes from. I have an Autistic brother and can say from experience (both my brother and other Autistic kids I have worked with) that a borderline obsession with rocks is pretty common with people relatively far into the Autistic spectrum.

But we already have Investigators, they are just more of the lawmen type...

Yes, Bloodmakers can heal Shardblade wounds.

Technically no, but in context, yes. In context, the "I have given subtle clues about her before" really only applies to the Terriswoman worldhopper. Who has indeed been confirmed as Lemex's nurse. so unless the Nurse is a different Terriswoman worldhopper (possible I suppose but this seems unlikely) then she is indeed Aslydin. Asnother potential worldhopper: Tezim; God-Priest of Tukar, Mraize said that he likely isn't human or if he is then he definitely isn't of the local variety.

For Reference:

Maggie Smith is excellent leverage.

And a long weekend...!

A bunch of links I can't click at work... and then so much anticipation, always another secret indeed, how fun. I award you 1138 points to offset @Mestiv

A few more: Aslydin - Terriswoman that is in a relationship with Demoux, Nurse that takes care of Lemex in Warbreaker, Member of the 17th Shard. Denth - One of the 5 Scholars from Warbreaker, known to have been off world presumably to Roshar Shashara - One of the 5 Scholars from Warbreaker, known to have been off world presumably to Roshar

It is indeed, Roman Catholic be specific. It is Gothic architecture. I believe it is actually a photo of the Reims Kathedrale. @Darkness Ascendant, did you take this in Reims, France?

Brian O'Halloran (Dante from Clerks) as Obliteration [Yes, I am aware he is only mentioned and doesn't actually appear in Steelheart but still...]

I addition to what @CaptainRyan said, there is something off. At the moment we don't know if the asterik that Brandon references is with the Honorblades, the Heralds, The Honor Pact, or some combination of any or all of them, personally I suspect it has more to do with the Heralds and the Honor Pact than the blade itself;

It may be as simply as in the Spren's eyes Jasnah is there by invitation while Hoid is not. As a result, they may simply be more willing to tell her things than they are towards Hoid. It also could be something along the lines of Hoid never bothered to track down what Jasnah did so finding out from her just saves him from doing the work.

Gotta go with Mestiv here, it does look blue. Then again, you have way more cones in your eyes than we do, so we should probably just defer to your superior color identification skills.

Relevant WoB:

Ah! That makes sense. He also does his own sci-fi writing. I'll have to check out his translations.

I loved The Paper Menagerie, excellent suggestion, I didn't know Ken Liu had released anything new. Is it a compilation of his short stories or are they actually new?

When I lived in China during part of my time in college I read a Chinese translation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, it was tragic. Due to Communist Party banned topics they had to translate many things as technology that plain and simply didn't work in context. For a specific example; Immortality is a subject that is not banned but is on the "we're monitoring this" list so they translated it basically as taking medicine for an illness which takes a lot of the luster out the who premise of the Philosopher's Stone. With that said, I'd actually like to read a Chinese copy of the Prisoner of Azkaban as time travel IS on the banned list so I'm very curious how they addressed the Timeturner.

It is from Words of Radiance: It is one of the Diagram Epigraphs.
