  1. So, folks. Yesterday, on the 17S Discord server, our dear friend @PeterAhlstrom was on giving us small answers to our various, occasionally Oathbringer-related questions, and I received some interesting information I figured I'd share with y'all. Now, remember: Peter lies. So take this with a grain of salt. Re: Drehy's impending love interest: I asked if Shallan would develop an alcoholism issue, and Peter gave us this: BONUS: Along with deciding what kinds of music the Stormlight characters like (Jasnah's into rap), Peter gave his commentary on Pringles
  2. @dendrophobe Like the Rider of Storms?
  3. Where does it say that? Also I guess we're gonna be needing Jasnah soon, in that case.
  4. So Re-Shephir is Shalash's Unmade counterpart?
  5. I have a theory: Each Unmade corresponds to an order of Radiants. We sort of have confirmation of this, since Re-Shephir is sort of a corrupted Lightweaver-based evil, and has a lot to do with Lightweavers. "But Cam," you say, "there are only nine Unmade." I think Odium's Champion, the being with the nine shadows, could be the corresponding evil to the Bondsmiths.
  6. Well, y'all, I actually really enjoyed this week's chapters! Shallan made some amazing progress. Here's some assorted thoughts that I typed while reading: lyn is very prominent - is she going to be important? good to see drehy again, but where is his mans - renarin, my love... hello. at first i thought the midnight essence might be ivory- are they related? the midnight mother seems like the anti-lightweaver I was kind of worried that they would leave us hanging on Shallan and that chapter 30 would be a Kal chapter but all is well, it seems.
  7. It's been a whole year since the movie announcement...

      That came in my Facebook memories today too. XD

  8. We already have Chana... her name is Liss...

  10. Hey folks! I've just now put all the epigraphs as of now into a Google Doc that y'all can comment on! Feel free to! I'll update it weekly as we get more info. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Iz3clZpNvbTYEGCBivI_RJsNSbQHgVvmt_iy-DWgj3k/edit?usp=sharing Give me your theories, here or on the doc!
  11. What makes you ask that? It's sort of left-field, where's this coming from?
  12. Your boy (me) has gotten the first 20 chapters of Oathbringer on audio --- for free!

      How did you swing that? Is it something anyone can get or just a limited number.

      Someone on Twitter posted that they had a code for the first 20 chapters on audio for anyone who wanted it, so I dm'd them and asked if it was still available and it was! It's only a one-time use code, though, sorry.

  13. What do you suppose her illusions are made of, then? The story she told seemed rather potent.
  14. Wait, y'all- you know how investiture can develop sentience? What if that's what's going on with Shallan's illusions? Perhaps they're seeming to develop "a mind of their own" because they are?
  15. I really hope we get some Tezim/Ishar action next week.
  16. Only 21 more days until the full book comes out. Should I skip past part one, or reread it...?
  17. I'm fairly certain Malata's not necessarily malicious or bad, just kind of racist. Abrasive, as one could expect a Releaser to be. But she claims to have a spren, and Pattern seemed to confirm that, so that's cool. Now, my real concern is with Shallan. It was interesting to put the scene with Dalinar considering killing Gavilar before the scene where Shallan uncovers something dark about herself. Our characters seem to be loosening, their worlds turning on their heads. Shallan is a conundrum. I know how it feels to feel like your world is coming apart, and to stuff that down... it's bad. In her case, on a much larger scale.
  18. Get yer predictions in now, lads.
  19. And, if Taravangian is to be believed, Malata's Dustbringer spren.
  20. I disagree with this. What would lead you to believe that she would have an affair? (I'm not going after you I'm just genuinely curious.)
  21. I have now preordered Oathbringer!!! It will arrive on release day!!!

  22. Cool aides presenting Kool-Aid
  23. I wonder when Jasnah and Hoid are going to show up...
  24. Hey folks!!! Another music announcement because it's sort of why I've been less active recently:

    I've been recording an album! It's seven tracks, mostly original stuff. It's for sale on bandcamp (link below!) and I really hope you'll check it out, and, if you're driven to do so, support me monetarily.

    Thanks!!!

      Could always edit on a bass synth pedal or something. But I get the feel you wanted to go all acoustic haha.

      Also I'm learning bass :ph34r:

      Ah, well, see, therein lies the issue: I'm 15 and broke, with no way of getting nice equipment. I like that you called my style acoustic, another word could be casual. I recorded the whole thing in my basement on Audacity, using a USB microphone. :ph34r:

      Also, congrats! I hope it goes well for you, it's a really fun instrument!

      Yeah, casual just makes it sound like you made a half-chull effort, which you didn't soooo.
      And by that I mean on a (pirated) program or something.

      Thanks! Yeah, I've always been attracted to it heheh.
