Stormgate

he will probably say he's a one-armed Herdazian with a magical replacement.

The trait that tipped him off was that Syl talked to him and remembered his name.

Maybe there were pictures?

Hershey is starting to get creepy... are you sure you want a hundred? He hasn't shaved in a while. Your bane is that you can't run away from someone who means you no harm. So you're stuck with Hershey while he kisses you a hundred times. I wish to know exactly what time it is at all times of the day.

Gravity pulls towards the face you are facing. The farther you get from the ground, the weaker this magical gravity becomes, going more towards the center of the planet. The moon is normal sized and shaped. The people would probably be freaked out if they knew that it was possible to walk on the moon. I've envisioned the North and South poles being in the middle of two of the faces of the cube, probably with some tilting to allow seasons to happen. I'm not sure what the faces would look like, which is the main reason for this topic.

Gavilar was one of the Sons of Honor (the same creeps that Amaram belong(s?) to)

When Sanderson reveals that tidbit, the Shard will go crazy.

Not exactly a god, more similar to a Shardholder. I had no idea who Sanderson was when I got the initial concept, but the cubic planet was a recent addition. The planet would rotate, necessarily leading to really weird mornings and evenings. Basically, it's Earth in a few million years. The deity-level powers on the planet have long since caused the apocalypse, and reformed the world into a shape that indicates that there is a power that has dominion over that area. Humans have responded by harnessing the powers of these powers, rebuilding into mostly medieval societies.

He doesn't get into the physics involved. Also, I didn't think about the weather erosion. Thanks! And the part about the top and bottom being covered with ice... That actually solves a small problem I had with my story. People need to get to Antarctica (which I am turning into a volcanic wastland, as opposed to the frozen wastland it currently is) and if it's the season where Antarctica is frozen... all the better. The civilization at the North Pole will be interesting, though. Probably nomadic by necessity, as every spring they need to go to Russia, Alaska, Canada, and places in Europe because their home for the past months will be melting.

I think entertainment as a balance. Do the questionable parts (ancestor worship, violence, magic, etc.) overshadow the actual story? If they do, then the story is about that activity. If it plays a minor role, supporting the main plot and story of the literature/novel, then it's probably okay. There is a balance in all things. Twyparents have no clue what the Braize I'm talking about.

In Sanderson books, mainly Cosmere, Sanderson does weird stuff with worldbuilding. Scadrial was a land of ash and brown plants, Roshar is hit by a hurricane every few days and has plants similar to a coral reef, Taldain has constant day on one side of the planet and night on the other. So, I decided to do something similar: make a cubical world. I think I've figured out how to use handwavium to get the gravity normal, but I need two things that I can't get right now: A map of what the world would look like if stretched over a cube (the Prime Meridian being part of one edge of the cube), and how the seasons would work. I currently have an idea where the orbit is changed slightly, so that it is winter on the whole planet or summer on the whole planet at once. However, I literally just realized that would do really weird things to the weather. I don't have any idea how any of this could work, and I'm asking those with those skills to assist me in my worldbuilding (literally).

Having read the unpublished version of White Sand, it follows that part fairly well. Also, Taldain rotates. It's just tidally locked, like the Moon around the Earth. Otherwise, the only way to maintain day and night was to have the planet crash into the sun, day-first. The 99.999% of me that is a nerd just wanted to point that out.

So...where does that fit with Dalinar--the acting king of Alethkar--being a Bondsmith?

Store all you know inside a coppermind, forget you are a Feruchemist.

CTS (Cosmere theorist syndrome) causes extreme theorizing on the laws of physics in a nonexistant but well thought out universe.

I'm personally interested in the gaining Feruchemy bit. As far as anyone knows, you can only get it by birth. But he was shaky on that, effectively RAFOing anything else. So, maybe Hoid got it the second way.

What if the Aimians are half kandra? I'm not sure if I believe this, but it would be cool. Also, Aimians seem to be immortal unless killed

She was a thief by necessity. Besides, the rules were wrong. Breaking rules is bad. But if the rules themselves are bad, then, by the principle of Double Negatives, Vin was being good. It's not a case of two wrongs making a right, if you're wondering.

You know you're a Sanderfan when your first use of an iTunes gift card saved "for a rainy day" is to buy Mistborn: Secret History on e-book.

I had that. Ask the person who sent you White Sand nicely and you will probably get it.

Sanderfan is programmed into my dictionary, so I'm keeping it. This place is weird. If you are not, welcome! Our last research project left after we asked what they do when they're bored and they can't reread their favorite book for the 29th time.

Are you aware of the Cosmere? Many of Sanderson's books take place in the same universe, called the Cosmere. The series he has written in the Cosmere are: Mistborn, Stormlight Archive, Warbreaker, and Elantris. Mistborn has seven books written about that planet (yes, it's an interstellar series), Stormlight Archive has two, Elantris has two(ish), Warbreaker has one. If you pay attention, you can see connections between the books. Mistborn currently provides our best information on the Cosmere, with Stormlight Archive having the potential to replace it in time. Also, don't take a cookie. To avoid spoilers I won't tell you why not, but trust me, it's worth it to not.

Granted. You also have every Sanderfan in existence closing in on your location. Did you really think we'd let you KEEP the Allomancy? Cute. I'll let the DA take this one. Also, your bane is that you are now deathly afraid of stepping on cracks in the ground. I wish to be a Mistborn, Feruchemist, and have appropriately large quantities of every Allomantic metal, unfilled and ready to be made into metalminds.

You are now a flower. A pretty flower, but a flower.I wish for the physique of a chasmfiend and the physical shape and size of a human.

Picturing the chaos, Ruin laughed aloud. Picturing the chaos, Kelsier brought it. Picturing the chaos, Sazed just cried. Picturing the chaos, Vin said no.
