    Everything we know about RoW... Here are a few things you didn't mention:

    Ugh, I’m just going to blame Arcanum for not tagging things properly since that’s what I mainly relied on to find things that didn’t mention Rhythm off War in the WoB.

    @thegatorgirl00 have you posted your summary somewhere on the forums? It was great! I would love to read it again and share with some friends if that’s ok?

     

    Here you go!

    The book opens on our Typical Brandon Protagonist. They've lived an average privileged life until this point as the child of a noble or royal. The one tragedy they've faced is the death of their mom when they were a child. When they reach their late teens/early twenties, they're life gets turned upside down when they gain a magic no one fully understands the rules of. They must balance it with their arranged marriage and the feasts and balls expected of their station, all while avoiding assassination attempts. Can they manage to complete all this and save their people from certain destruction caused by war or apocalypse? Find out in the next Typical Brandon Sanderson Novel!

    Quote

    They break the land itself! They want it, but in their rage they will destroy it. Like the jealous man burns his rich things rather than let them be taken by his enemies! They come!

    What this reminds me of a bit is the creation of the Shattered Plains.

    Quote

    The day was ours, but they took it. Stormfather! You cannot have it. The day is ours. They come, rasping, and the lights fail. Oh, Stormfather!

    And because I'm me and I constantly have PUuli's interlude in the back of my mind, I would like to say that I think this could be refering to the same thing.

    Quote

    They'll come with Light in their pockets, Grandfather had said. They'll come to destroy, but you should watch for them anyway. Because they'll come from the Origin. The sailors lost on an infinite sea. You keep that fire high at night, Puuli. You burn it bright until the day they come.

    They'll arrive when the night is darkest.

    They both talk about some kind of enemy approaching. And when is the night darkest? When all the lights fail...

    I have a really stupid question that's probably been asked many times before, but I can't find any references.  In the intro sequence for Who's That Cosmere Character, there's a snippet of Eric guessing Menace....who is Menace?  Is that even what he's actually saying?  I've searched for this name associated with the Cosmere but can't find anything!  Thanks for your help and sorry again if this has been answered before.

    Eric is actually saying Mennis. Mennis is a super minor character that appears in the TFE prologue.

    You've killed me. Bastards, you've killed me! While the sun is still hot, I die

    — Collected on Betabachah 1171, 10 seconds pre-death, by the Silent Gatherers. Subject was a darkeyed soldier thirty-one years of age. Sample is considered questionable

    I was curious if this could refer to Jezrien's death and checked. He explicitly dies at night.

    Quote

    A man stood on a cliffside and watched his homeland fall into dust. The waters surged beneath, so far beneath. And he heard a child crying. They were his own tears.

    — Collected on Tanatesev 1171, 30 seconds pre-death, by the Silent Gatherers. Subject was a cobbler of some renown.

    This is more a crackpot theory, but I wonder if this will refer to Taravangian someday. Cliff-side city, reference to homeland. His entire goal now is saving his homeland Kharbranth. This would be a tragic ending to his story, as he did terrible things in the name of a goal that failed.

    Victory! We stand atop the mount! We scatter them before us! Their homes become our dens, their lands are now our farms! And they shall burn, as we once did, in a place that is hollow and forlorn. 
    — Collected on Ishashan 1172, 18 seconds pre-death, by the Silent Gatherers. Subject was a lighteyed spinster of the eighth dahn.

    I strongly dislike the idea that this one refers to the first Desolation.

    Quote

    Three of sixteen ruled, but now the Broken One reigns.

    — Collected on Chachanan 1173, 84 seconds pre-death, by the Silent Gatherers. Subject was a cutpurse with the wasting sickness, of partial Iriali descent.

    I would like to point out that Iri is ruled by a triumverate. We don't know much of Iriali politics The three rulers could be chosen from some sort of council of 16. And then at a future point, under Odium's influence, one of the three will break and rule all of Iri.

  18. Shardcast: Nightblood Confirmations! Legion Release Words of Brandon P1

    Your suggestion that the shards swore not to interfere with each other makes a lot of sense. Frost and Hoid were both at the Shattering, and this little tidbit from the Traveler makes me think that everyone there except Hoid swore that.

    Quote

    “You sly old lizard!” the Traveler said, pointing. “You already knew! You were watching! And here you were chastising me.”

    “I did NOT interfere,” the elderly man said. ”You meddle in things we promised to leave alone. Things that we—”

    Traveler held up a finger, interrupting him, then slowly he pointed at the older man. ”I. Made. No. Promise.”

    Frost even uses the word interfere directly right here.

  22. Shardcast: Cultivationlight!? FanX Words of Brandon P1

    Aluminum foil hat: ‘They’ll come from the origin, with light in their pockets.’ What light? Thirdlight. Maybe the sailors Puuli is watching for will have Cultivation’s light?

    Huh, that's an interesting idea. We're not seeing an obvious Cultivation influence because she's more heavily invested in the islands on the other side of Roshar, and there's an entirely different magic system there.

  24. Shardcast: Cosmere Beefs

    in Shardcast

    Posted

    @WeiryWriter's beef with the commercial was the best beef in the episode. 

    I also didn't like the counting the main characters moment. My main issue, however, was that Adolin was standing right there and everyone just ignored him as useless. Sure, he's not a Radiant, but he's possibly the best Shardblade fighter on Roshar. Storming use him in the fight. 

    I don't like most of the romances that much. Siri/Susebron and Wax/Steris are good, but everything else is meh at best. 

    It's not Cosmere, but I have beef with Nalizar from the Rithmatist. His character is basically just Snape, and the reveal about him at the end was unnecessary and predictable.
