Something it wrong here: You are suggest that the real Taln is Mraize and that the tortured-one was Tanavast right ? But if Tanavast has "little time" after the Honor's Splintering. He can't survive thousands of years after (also if he wasn't already half-dead).

As Far as I remember the Elantris Sequel is needed to the Cosmere's continuity therefore Nightblood has to wait :S

O.O No I don't even know them .... I am afraid to discover who they are. Anyway returning to the Knigh Radiant and The Lopen. We don't know if being a Squire has some relationship with the Order or just a "strong bond" with the Knight Radiant. What I want to say is that we don't know if a Windrunner's squire has to be different from a Dustbringer's Squire".

It's quite impossible or Sazed may be not the first people to find them (Vin and At). I suppose that Preservation saw everything with details. If you have an accurate futuresight is quite "easy" to change things to correct the future.

At the moment Lopen is "just" a Kaladin's squire (we have a WoB about), If in his future there may be Radiancy I don't know but I find it unlikely.

But Hoid thinks that Rayse is one of the Greatest Dangers in theCosmere. I suppose that if Rayse manifests itself in front of him, Hoid will overreact.

Oh man, it took me days but this is the source

I will try to answer to your questions: 1) Nothing sure but the Breath that Nightblood get will become corrupted and leaks out therefore it's probably impossible to him Awaken (and problably also be an human being is a requirement). If He may Awaken he would also drawn color as normal, because the color is required to fuel Awakening. 2) Probably not, you will have simply an Awakened Over-Invested Object an probably you would need more Breaths than the standard because the Investiture interferences with each other. 3) Mmm none of the two to me, the Kandra abilities is a pretty biological skill while Syl as Spren has no real body. The Returneds seems to trasformation as following thier cognitive aspect deeply and the psysical just follow, therefore is more likely as Syl does but really different to me. 4) To me yes, but we don't know "how much power contain a breath" to tell it, if 50000 Breaths aren't enough, a former God-King is in the same situation of a Lerasium Mistborn that are begin to get close to a Sliver but it's not actually ones. 5) The Colors are fuel to the Awakening any Awakening required them. The object became grey simply because most of the "color" are drained to the magic. If you have reach an high power you may drawn more color (power) and the object became white. 6) We have not sure proof, but many Sharder think in that way, remember that any color may works with Awakening but the Tear of Egli works far better.

They are actually Soulcast something to water therefore I say Garnet

The Oddly thing is that Nightblood releases the Investiture as Black Smoke that Brandon says is the corrupted breath that Nightblood are sucked before.

I quote myself for another topic: The Investiture with this method are "wasted" but it's not destroyed. Because there is a WoB about that the "Investiture can't be created or destroyed".

@Moogle To be honest I don't think that a Shard may "consume/eat/take" other Splinters and Add to his own powers. To me you have to take the Shard's "Core" (I don't know how call it) to have the Mastery over Investiture with a Specific Intent. Maybe the Pre-Shattering Investiture are more compatible with a Shard but the simply fact that Rayse dind't gatherer extra power (as far as we know) may indicate that he can't do it. I thought the same things about Nightblood, when he drains Investiture then he releases it with an overwrite Intent and any Shard may claim that Investiture anymore.

You forgot Metalborn. The generic word to "User of Allomancy and/or Feruchemy"

I have just put together the many ideas of the Sharder. To be honest we have no clues (pro o contros) about any of them.

We have not sure answer, if you want I may tell you the Comunity's Ideas abou how "Feruchemical Strenght works: - You may store more of the attribute (ex. Some feruchemist may store not more than 20% of an attribute and other 35%) - Your Metalmind may contains more Feruchemical Charge before became full. - When you tap large amount of Feruchemical Charge, you may do it with more efficiency (you waste less power to compress it).

I don't know about the Nalthian Identity but the second it's probably Impossible. Ruin & Preservation Investiture mades the Scadrial's Soul if you remove that part you will obtain something like a Drab (if you are luckly) or probably you will finish to take from that guy the senticence

There is a WoB about and it is possible, just very very very very unlikely. And of course we need a name of them XD

I don't know if a Drab may enter in the Court. But if the Breath is like an Interface that the Divine Breath may simply restore it and as conseguence Heals the Body. It's very probably that without any Interface the Divine Breah can't do anything. If this is true boh a Drab or a outsider can't recive healing from a Returned. This is what I thought yesterday. But today some crazy idea come to my mind: We know that when a man dies. He loses his Breath and this is the condition of a man before Endowment send him the Divine Breath. Therefore Is it possible for a Drab to recive a Divine Breath and keep it (becaming a living Returned) ?

From the moment that I read WotK and WoR I think that the Roshar Focus are the "bonds". And until now nothing made me think to another probable focus.

But it's impossible that Nightblood was creates with a Divine Breath. First of all the Divine Breath can be give to someone else normally. When given it isn't added to the reciver but instead make a powerful Healing on Him. Therefore also if some Returned want to give his Divine Breath to another Returned this doesn't end with a Returned with 2 Divine Breath (just watch Susenbron). We know that the Vasher's wife created Nightblood (and Vasher say that the Sword take a great amount of Breath) and she survive after the Nightblood's creation. Therefore she didn't give her Divine Breath to Nightblood. And about the "Returned need a breath every week" I suppose isn't because the Divine Breath need extra investiture. But just because they are Soul that are "forced in to the Realm" while they belong to the Afterlife and their use the extra Investiture to resist in the three Reams.

May be also the opposite, that the Stone is harder to Awaken than the Metal. Or have we some clues about ?

There was another about. Toss Nightblood in a Shardpool but it recived a RAFO.

But we don't know how this "saw the Shardblades" happened. Now we know that Vasher went to Roshar and saw them (or the Honorblades) and returned on Nalthis with the idea of a new project. Before we may think also the opposite, like that a Radiant/shardbearer/herald went on Nalthis.

To me Nightblood doesn't "destroy" Investiture but simply release it not usable by anyone. Maybe really (as I supposed time ago) it overwrite the Investiture's Intent and the released Investiture without Intent can't be claim by anyone.

Also the names Mistborn and Misting was created arbitrarily by Rashek because He knows the relationship from the Mist and Preservation.
