    I am also a really big fan of SotD. I think it is a spectacularly put together short story.

    I really like this idea. I've always viewed Soulcasting as more like Full Metal Alchemist style alchemy, and Elsecalling to be more like what Elizabeth does in Bioshock Infinite. Literally bringing sometime over from another plane of existence. I know it's a bit of an ask to hope there are others on this site that know both of the comparisons I just made. LOL

    Maybe Division is like Scar from the Full Metal Alchemist anime. Maybe their skill set is breaking objects down into their most fundamental pieces.

    Oh yeah. I forgot about his comments on slatrification. It would definitely make more sense to do a rewrite to amend that issue than it would to try and fix the faces. We can't after all unsee those now.

    Something tells me this troublesome element is the "sky faces". I really don't think he wanted them to be as noticeable as some of them are.

    I know it's not on topic but I absolutely adore Order of the Stick. I've been reading it for the past 10 years. Also your username makes so much sense now as well. Do you have a crown around your neck?

    I actually would be pretty upset if Taln died. He's the herald I most closely identify with. I would totally be a Stonewarden. I just love the idea of a man enduring 1000's of years of torture just because he is the rock the rest of the world takes shelter behind.

    This is my favorite interpretation of this death rattle.

    I think the answer is in the name itself. 17th shard. There are only 16 shards. (15 counting the merged one.) I don't think they are controlled by a shard. if they were they would be the 4th shard or the 9th shard. By naming themselves 17th it's like they are setting themselves up as a separate entity not under the control of one of the shards. As for the shard that knows about events, and is hiding. I like to think of it as the Wisdom Shard. It's wise enough to know to stay out of the fight. You can't be shattered if you can't be found. Thinking about it a shard of Wisdom could have a Taravangian like ability to predict the future. I mean it doesn't take a genius to realize a shard called Odium might not be on friendly terms with the universe. "Wisdom" could have foreseen the shatterings. I'm picturing the moment "Wisdom" picks up his shard he immediately notices an increase in his intelligence and deduces that the same will be happening to the rest of the shardholders. Although a more hilarious route that would still fit all of the above ideas would be if the shard was "Paranoia".

    Shadesmar

    Images added to a gallery album owned by Rage_Fortress in Stormlight Archive Art

    I posted this to Facebook but not to the shard yet. Kids at school were coloring pictures from one of those "adult coloring books". I stumbled upon this picture and I totally borrowed it, made a copy, and colored it to look like the Shadesmar. The resemblance is uncanny.

    Has anyone thought to ask whether one can slatrify on another planet? Is it just the sand on Taldain?

    I prefer to think that it wasn't spite, but instead The lie that the TLR was still alive was dangerous to the rest of the Cosmere for some reason. If TLR was still alive it would mean that he succeeded in containing Ruin for another 1000 years. Maybe Hoid wants Odium to know that the shards have merged, It's been stated that Odium Is/would be (depending on when this takes place) concerned by Harmony. Perhaps Scadrial was Odium's next target and Hoid is trying to showcase just how much of a threat he would be up against. Also, That's an absolutely awesome WoB. It's my favorite kind.

    I always thought Crem was calcium carbonate deposits like stalagmites/stalactites. Super hard after the rain evaporates.

    I love things like this, I consider myself to be moderately intelligent, IQ of 131, was in the gifted class and all that jazz. I'm nearly 30 and until reading this forum post I had never heard the term sapience before. It really gives a "There's always another secret" aspect to the real world. I know scientists have been saying this forever. I just love learning about new things no one thought to teach me. That's a pretty important distinction between sentience and sapience.

    Wit needs the quote about letting the world burn with tears in his eyes.
  17. Rage_Fortress
    Hoid probably used Stick to scratch his backside. Got all kinds of investiture up in there.

    Maybe Ruin was like Alcatraz's breaking talent. Perhaps he looked past progressive change and all he saw was Ruin when he took it.

    This is so cool! This is my favorite theory right now.
  20. Rage_Fortress
    I agree with you that it doesn't make much sense naming the book after a sword he discarded. I was thinking more along the lines of borrowing the title because it so aptly describes Bondsmiths. More of a happy coincidence than a dedication. I just keep expecting Dalinar to have a book written because of his repect for Nohadon and the Way of Kings. I do love your idea as well though. It would be cool to see that even during his younger wilder years, Dalinar could enjoy the written word. I can imagine him getting readings from a famous shardbearer in between battles. Learning tactics and then eventually winning the blade the book describes. That'd be cool too.
  21. Rage_Fortress
    I've had the pet theory for awhile now that Oathbringer would be a book Dictated by Dalinar to Navani. A book chronicling his story about being a Bondsmith and named after his sword. His job is literally to bring people to make oaths. I of course reserve the right to be completely wrong. XD

    Even better!

    I really love the directions this post is going in. I had not considered that a Kandra with access to Kelsier's bones could make a perfect body for Kelsier to squat in. Maybe this new Hemalurgic discovery works similar to Awakening on nalthis in the fact that the closer a vessel is to it's cognitive shadow makes it easier to hop inside. Like how awakening is easier if it's a human shaped object.
  24. Rage_Fortress
    It is still a bit hazy for me. Like I do understand how it worked in BoM. I'm just curious how far it could be stretched. I must say I am liking the idea more and more of them spiking Kelsier into someone else's body rather than Spook.
  25. Rage_Fortress
    I hadn't thought about that outcome.
