And do the Shardblades get similarly abused while stored?

How quickly do you lose Stormlight? An inconsistency?
Dahak replied to Havoc's topic in Stormlight Archive
Sadeas isn't to name one. -
Who are the two men speaking with Elhokar in the Prologue?
Dahak replied to Worldhopper's topic in Stormlight Archive
Not particularly wild. Unlike suggesting the two are ferretspren in disguise interviewing Elokar over his suitability to become a Magical Girl. To suggest a random wild guess. -
We do have an as yet unnamed city that appears to be in a location that does't seem suitable for cities. Namely the Shattered Plain. If someone parked their flying city there during the recreance it could be Uritithiru and the next book from the preposed names appears to be centered arround the shatered plains. If it is Urithiru that might also explain how we find out how shardblades are made this book.

Thus hinting at Navani's past as a world hopper with the Black Company.

I wouldn't say perfectly fine. From Chapter 73 Trust

Given the Vorin belief that Humanity came from elsewhere [The Tranquilline Halls] and Sandersons tendancy for there to be a core of truth to any religon he mentions, I would suggest we might assume that the entire Shinovar ecology is imported, along with at least one of the various races described as human. The more general Rosharan ecology seems more detailed than the one that was created on Scaladriel and so might be assumed to be native. That of course depends on what the High Storms actually are.

There are others since Shallan mentions using a soulcaster to make Jade. The ten are the opens that can't be made by soulcasting.

How to defend against shard plate, shard blades, wind runners, ect.
Dahak replied to RJWB0mb's topic in Stormlight Archive
Other than windrunning there are two weapons likely on scene that we haven't seen Szeth ahve to deal with. 1] Soulcasting, especially considering Jasnah may be able to set fire to his clothes at range even if she can't just incinerate him. 2] The Pain Knife. Navani's notes rather imply she has one and she's no less likely not to dig into her bag of tricks to take down Szeth than Jasnah. And both have had years, and more knowledge than we have of his abilities, to think about what to do if he shows up again. She's a weapons engineer and it's a technology she's been experimenting with. If nothing else Fabrials are unlikely to be effected by surges, so Pain arrows or throwing weapons seem plausable.. -
Possibly unnecessary since Atium spikes can steal any steal-able quality.

While I doubt it has any relevance we do know of a group of nobles with a habit of near-fatal beatings of their children, elsewhere in the cosmomere. To be precise the Lord Ruler's nobles did it to attempt to Snap their offspring. It just seemed mildly odd that the man who seems at the nexus of several unusual magics and conspiricies should be acting in a way which might suggest he was attempting to awaken Allomancy in his children. All coincidence I'm mostly sure.

The European version some times comes as two volumes, if it was 1001 pages long you read the one volume version. If it said Part one immediately under the word Kings and was about 600 pages, it was the first half of that volume and you should read Part two, because there will be spoilers in the early A's on TV Tropes.

Spikes need to be charged and in a bind point to be accessable to Ruin. That's the whole point in spiking Spook and trying to spike Elend. Marsh thinsk about it while charging the spike he's going to put into the Lord left in charge in the capital. Pathist spikes were made from the spikes from the dead inquisitors.

Wax as Hawkeye isn't bad. Black widows power set is like Captain America very close to that of a Pewterarm. Compared to Rand, everyone on my list except Kvothe is practically normal.
-
Adolin though comes closer. Mine goes something like Nick Fury - Dorothea Senjak Captain America - Nanoha Thor - Natsu Dragoneel Warmachine - Adolin Tony Stark - Kvothe Black Widow - Raine Benares Maria Hill - Vin Hawkeye - Kalam Mekhar The Hulk - Impatience the Dragon

Theory: Danlan is more than she appears
Dahak replied to lil_literalist's topic in Stormlight Archive
She's a spren. She's behaving towards Dalinar much like Syl did towards Kaladin. He fathers a member of one o0r other of the conspiracies and covering for her while she manoeuvres Adolin into saying the most important words. -
Theory: Danlan is more than she appears
Dahak replied to lil_literalist's topic in Stormlight Archive
I thought she was supposed to be Dalinar's sexchanged clone created as part of his experience with the Old Magic. -
Translation of the Cover page of 'The Treatise Metallurgic.'
Dahak replied to valkynphyre's topic in Mistborn
That implies the possibility of a fifth type of Kandra blessing. The four we know of being the four metals that are described as enhance this that or the other. -
I've had some thoughts since I first suggested that. Logicically anyone can tap Sazedium to become a Feruchemist. Since one burns Lerasium to become an Allomancer and can use an Atium spike to take any Hemalurgic power. Incidently I'm now suspecting Lerasium of making you invulnerable when burnt for its actual power rather than to become Mistborn.

Luesh [The dead steward with the ghostblood tattoo] was supposed to have been trained to use it as well. And couldn't make it work after it was repaired.

Chapter 59 Annotations Always before, anyone who wanted to hire a kandra left a message in a designated place in Luthadel. The kandra found you—a creature who was under direct Contract by the Lord Ruler to act as an intermediary. The kandra Contract was completely confidential, even from the Lord Ruler—though he probably could have demanded to know the details of who the kandra were working for at a given time. He didn't bother, as he never thought that one would be used in a plot against him. The kandra who arranged Contracts—a member of the Fifth Generation—would travel to the Homeland with the signed papers and the atium, and would send a new kandra out to serve the new master. Nobody left the homeland without a Contract, and if their Contract ended or their master died, then they returned immediately to the Homeland.

It isn't like Aircraft instantly teleport from location to location. However over scales in which that is close to true you do see feeder airports flying only to hubs. Incidently It's cheaper and easier to run one large office in a single location than lots of small ones spread out, due to staff members not being divisible into fractions. Tariff gathering is easier to control and police if everyone is channelled through a single node. Assuming a lack of allegory. Which we can't necessarily assume. 1] Surgebinders predate the Knights Radiant. Therefore urithru can be built before their are Knights Radiants, possibly being subsequently acredited to the Knights Radiant since the surgebinders who built it became the first Knights Radiant. or 2] Inspire does not necessity mean inspire to create, it could mean inspire to greatness or inspire to join. The Knights Radiant could form first,build Urithru, Nonadon could write way of Kings and then the Knights Radiant could go "Brilliant, this is a perfect distillation of what it means to be Knights Radiant" and use it as their guiding text for new members there after.

Because you get most efficient use of any new gates you build if they are Urithru to somewhere that isn't already connected. Because that adds an extra destination and that way no gate end is more than two jumps from any other. At best all another geometry saves you is the time travelling from one Urithru Gate to another on a trip between a single pair of gates. [i.e. not much, since barring some limit we haven't seen yet there is no reason not to have the urithru ends close to each other] Whereas that gate could instead be built Urithru to somewhere there isn't a gate and improve coverage. Gates almost certainly are reasonably expensive. Adding a Urithru to somewhere link is the most efficient thing you can do when building another one, baring network saturation. Also there is no point in garrisoning the far end of gates rather than patrolling them. Off duty personnel can gate back to Urithru, where they already have quarters, messes etc at the end of their shift, when their relief gates in from Urithru. And you'd hold your ready reserve at Urithru to reinforce from there.

More simply. The Oathgates were built to enable fast deployment of Knights Radient from Urithiru. So the builders didn't bother with crosslinking, since that would reduce the number of locations they could connect to with a given number of gates or require extra transits for thier original purpose.
