Eagle of the Forest Path

By the way, you're off by 10 combinations, maximum number of paired surges is 45, not 55.

It looks like the hints I thought were pretty clear weren't so obvious after all. (I guess it looks easier if you think them up yourself.) I'll stop with this type of riddles then, and return to the classic descriptions, probably ensuring an instant answer in this case: "Divorcee must disguise himself to remain in contact with his offspring, hilarity ensues."

There's a thread on that. My opinion's in this post.

Except that the artisan's script is color-based, a blackboard is pretty bad for that, not to mention chalk. It practically forces you to write it with paints or colored inks.

Not F&F, sorry. One more clue then: "I have to Field some questions about taking names from papers."

Sweden Finland Greece Ireland Brazil uhm...Bhutan? ... Are there even ten? Red has to be the most popular color there is to put on a flag. edit: it appears Palomino is actually a color, not a breed. Try Percheron and Brabant.

Nope. Another hint then: "No need to cake it on too thickly, just put a good face on it."

JRR Tolkien, obviously. CS Lewis, if you consider Narnia as high fantasy Terry Pratchett, wrote The Colour of magic in the early eighties. Jack Vance, even though that's technically future Earth I still classify it as high fantasy. Stephen King with the Dark Tower series. If you consider my answer to be correct, WLIU name the nine, uhm, eight... planets in the solar system, preferably in order. (I miss Pluto )

No info on that as far as I know.

Making it rather ironic that it's granted by the physical manifestation of a shard that is notoriously bad at that.

Next hint. "I doubt the threat of getting fired will be helpful in not banning visitation."

No, I'm actually talking about the

Nope, sorry.

IIRC that one was actually referring to spikes that are, you know, spiking the burner. Like an inquisitor burning one of their eye-spikes.

IMO that's like asking "Magnets don't work on aluminum, and they don't work on cheese, is cheese made of aluminum?" You're free to speculate of course, but we don't even know that lashings won't affect aluminum, so I'd say you're jumping the gun a bit on this one.

That's not completely true. There might be a little something in Liar of Partinel*, but that depends on how relevant that story remains when the Yolen series starts. *I wanted to put in a link, but it seems to have been removed from Sanderson's website.

Oh-kaaay, didn't actually expect to be right... Yippie for near-random guesswork. Here's my riddle: "It's such a drag when previous bonds are broken."

Since not everyone has read every book in existence, I suggest including a title or franchise in the answers.

Theee... X-files?

Nameless Strategy Don't let the enemy know what you're up to! Good advice, but it gets confusing in the long run. Profane Hooligans As opposed to what? Liturgical Hooligans? Every time there's a goal they'd chant "Jesus, Jesus, he's our god! He'll grant our prayers but yours not!" Desired Genocide Like in the 1940s? No thanks! Tradition of Abandonment I tried that, but then I quit. Scouts of Serenity A bit too Emo for my taste, but it kinda works Sentinels of the Sick Watch out! That guy has a cold! Affliction of the Cougar Sorry, are you saying these are cougars with an affliction, or that cougars are an affliction? Either way, I'm not lining up to join that one! Hallowclouds I kinda like this one Redfury Got killed by David Charleston. Forsakenflags Wha?

You get... stuck in the slot. *inserts crowbar and tries to lever out CarolaDavar*

It's not universally investiture negating, but mr. Sanderson has said that aluminum has some strange effects on every magic system. We know it can't be forged or awakened, and it pretty much just ignores allomancy, but the rest of the field is wide open, as far as I know.

They hide in the Cognitive Realm! (said with a face so serious it becomes ridiculous)

I am offend! Flutes!

Actually, not completely:
