    See also: Twisted and heavily altered. Inquisitors' souls have essentially been drawn into upper and lower halves, with a Linchpin spike connecting the two. Severing the connection, either by Shardblade cut or by spike removal, would kill the Inquisitor.
  2. Landis963
    Inquisitors have souls. Twisted and heavily altered souls, but souls nonetheless. Therefore, a Shardblade injury of sufficient severity would indeed kill an Inquisitor. (It'd skip the pyrotechnics, though)

    Yes, the word "husband" was mentioned, IIRC. Unfortunately I can't search for it now because phone.
  4. Landis963
    I thought the WoB regarding Drehy was that his husband would be receiving some screen time in Oathbringer. Which is no object for some shippers, but there you are.

    Lightweaving. What Hoid looks like in one situation does not determine how he looks in any other, besides certain stylistic choices. (Namely, hooked nose, black or white hair, and insufferable conceit) Which is to say that, on Roshar, Hoid probably does have an epicanthic fold on his eyes.
  6. Landis963
    We don't. If anything, it is an interesting line of supposition, but nothing more.

    Hey, it's not boring. (Except when tasked with mapping the entire Shattered Plains, but that's where he draws the line)

    Shush, you. I have my headcanon and I'm sticking to it.

    Based on Wax's oh-so-fleeting view into the Spiritual Realm, I choose to believe that her and Elend are perpetually dancing throughout all of Scadrial's history, surrounded by friends and happy memories.

    Lift was right there on the spot to save Gawx. Darkness, OTOH, deliberately waited until Szeth was "dead for certain" (his words) before resurrecting him. My conjecture is that Gawx's soul didn't have a chance to unpack, so to speak.

    There's a WoB that says that neither Mistborn nor Full Feruchemists have resonances (I think the phrasing he used w/r/t the Resonances was "those little quirks", if it helps?). Ergo, TLR, being both of those, wouldn't have them either.
  13. Landis963
    Urithiru is actually in that central mountain range, as evidenced from Shallan's dialogue just before running into Mraize. In addition, details on Szeth and Kaladin's duel suggest that Szeth was headed in that direction before Kaladin intervened. (Szeth recognized the Oathgate and immediately lashed himself west, and continued to ride the storm directly forward until the duel ended). The Horneater peaks are the location of a known perpendicularity, but they are also the location where Rock's people live, and they would notice a big storm-off fortress gracing a nearby mountain peak. The element, on the other hand, is a spoiler for the Mistborn series:

    I guarantee that Elhokar would not see it that way. Also, we don't know whether or not Adolin was looked into; we just know that without the requisite "cracks" in his soul and adversity in his past, there was nowhere for a spren to hold on.
  15. Landis963
    Actually, speaking of Elhokar... You know what might be kind of (how to phrase this) interestingly cruel for the story to do to him? Let him know what all those Cryptics hanging around are actually doing... and then prove to him without a doubt that they're not interested anymore.

    I had a feeling it was something like that. (And if any single place we know of carries Yolen's legacy, it is Silverlight) Although, that implies that he went to and studied at Silverlight fairly early on in his worldhopping career, before branching out into studying "in the field." Which in turn implies that he hadn't met Hoid at the point where he penned the essays, as meeting Hoid on the way to Roshar was what jolted him out of his chosen role as passive observer.

    You mentioned that Flask of Fire was funny for reasons you couldn't tell him about. Judging from "Flask of Frost" and "Flask of Lightning" (both DA:I abilities) and what Flask of Fire does in DA:I...

    Question: How did Elsric learn the name of Preservation's first Vessel? The latter 3 - Vin, Kel, and Sazed - are all matters of record in the Words of Founding, but I'm not certain that any of them knew Leras' name.
  19. Landis963
    Thanks, do you know if there are any others? I'm trying to find a link between Mraize's tree branch and the fain life of Yolen, but I'm not finding anything more concrete than supposition.
  20. Landis963
    I would be indebted to anyone who would be able to find any and all WoBs on Mraize's collection of off-world artifacts.
  21. Landis963
    I thought the tree branch was confirmed as being from Yolen. (And I believe it is the only one with a WoB attached, as opposed to the rest which have, at best, tacit confirmation, if they have anything at all). I'll try and find it on theoryland after church&dinner.
  22. Landis963
    Where are you getting those numbers, if I may ask?
  23. Landis963
    I think the Chasmfiend scenes should at least be partially animatronic, a la the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park. But yes, the spren should be entirely CGI, as should everything to do with the highstorms (with the exception, of course, of the riddens, which can be simulated with a rain machine).

    I'm trying to make another Cosmere world, but I'm having trouble figuring out the behind-the-scenes stuff. Right now I have a mono-Shardic world that created a magic system where you blow a specially-made powder to make an effect happen (You might remember a prototype of this magic system as my previous contribution to this thread). However, I want to have another Shard come in and start attacking, only to be mercilessly destroyed piece-by-piece by their would-be victim. The reason for this is that I want each piece to become a sword with an Intent, and for those Intents to shape the history of the Physical Realm of the world. So, I need the names of both Shards (I'm thinking the resident Shard is "Industry"), whether or not the resident Shard was destroyed alongside the aggressor (I suspect not), the mini-Intents of the swords (I have a few, but nowhere near enough), and what exactly possessing one of these swords does to and for you (I suspect it's an unholy mixture of Nightblood and an Honorblade, with the powers involved relating in some way to the Intent).

    Although I still believe that a TV series would be best (Some subplots just need the room to breathe) I have come around to the idea that live-action would be possible, if not immediately feasible. Why do I think this? Meet Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets: A few caveats out of the way: Yes, it's based off a graphic novel, which does much of the visual design work for them. Yes, it's only one graphic novel as opposed to an entire (unfinished) book series. However, where Valerian goes macro, Stormlight can go micro with the spren and the glowing spheres. If they can bring a city of a thousand planets to the big screen, they can certainly bring a planet of a thousand Splinters to the small screen.
