  1. Lopen just did not accept the loss of the arm and viewed himself as having both. I think it depends whether you see something as natural to you or not. Like, do I perceive bad eyesight as the way I am or as a handicap?
  2. I don't see how did you arrive at that conclusion. The brain operates the body. If you deal such damage to it, the Compounder won't be able to move. Of course he'll be probably tapping all the time but that's why we would use aluminum which prevents wounds from healing.
  3. @Kurkistan Also, as @Irregular pointed out to me, Marsh probably no longer sees himself as having eyes. So he wouldn't be able to heal it anyway.
  4. Nope. Humans were on Roshar before Shards arrived:
  5. I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that the common allergies - like being allergic to some food or pollen - can not be "born allergies"? Or that they're different from the ones like being allergic to sunlight? Allergy is like Allomancy: you're more likely to have it if your parent has it and you can have different one(s) from your parent.
  6. Eh, you can be born with allergy. The "immune overreaction" is what we call allergic reaction.
  7. Just remember to ping me if you get an answer We know that removing one is not fatal, he could take one out, heal it, take another one out, heal it...? But if it's impossible to do, it gives us a clue about how Inquisitors work. All in all a nice rounded question.
  8. Why didn't Marsh relocate his eye spikes and healed back his eyes? Sight is pretty much the most important sense. His metalsight would continue to be as good as it were (we know savants can potentially reach the level of Inquisitor metalsight). He doesn't loose anything by restoring his sight and there's much to gain.
  9. You're a hive mind or something?
  10. Opposite of the square beer, of course! Re: caffeine. I thought coffee would make me more awake when I first drank it. Was severely disappointed.
  11. Stylize it as the Flash symbol. Scadrian symbols fit well for that.

    Man of hours

    Eelakins name their children thematically "(birth order) of (birth time)". Similarly there could be an Eleventh of the Dawn but that does not mean any connection with the Dawnsingers. Aka: don't read too much into it.
  13. I read a lot of WoBs. Also, I read them thematically. Helps to organize the knowledge. Some say that the power comes from the spikes but I deny such accussations.
  14. Care to link a source for that? Humanity spread and origins in cosmere is something of great interest to me.
  15. This. Yeah, I think I'm a bit more... blunt?... than people here usually are. (I once furiously argued with someone for pages just because someone was saying "racism" when they should have used "discrimination". I'm like that. I once got severely downvoted for not sugarcoating.) However I did not realise people actually realised that about me. Anyway, if I was rude, it would be fairly noticeable. When I'm rude, I really am.
  16. Actually... apart from mispronouning some words even native speakers can't agree on how they should be pronounced, English is quite easy.
  17. You're still missing the point: The thing is that - yes, he could live through such extreme brain damage - but first he has to be able to heal it. That's why it's different. Normally when you rip out his brain, behead him, cut into two, whatever, he can heal that. But in the case of aluminum scattered around in his brain he can't. Not until someone rips off his head so he can grow another one. So until someone figures out that they should cut off his head (which we shouldn't allow by first eliminating his minions, just like Wax did) he'll be unable to do anything. And now that he's laying there, you can even go and take away his goldminds. Or do whatever.
  18. No, you don't. Remember the smashed pottery near the Well of Ascension? Just like the one the bead of lerasium was in? That was Hoid. He took the other bead.
  19. I'm gonna argue your specific example. We know that gold compounders can survive beheading, so what is stopping say.. Miles from ripping off his own head and regrowing one that is shrapnel free? Granted, you could just fire into his chest so that he can't rip it off like that, but I'm genuinely curious about why we think headshots would work. See, once he has aluminum shrapnels in his brain, he's toast. Yeah, he can continue living since healing will keep him from dying, but such extreme brain damage will render him comatose. So he'll just just lay there until healing runs out. The key here is removing brain function from equasion. Notice this is very different from beheading - he could regrow removed head, but he can't heal the wounds with aluminum in them.
  20. Yes. It's one thing mentioning where you're from and a whole another thing your location data being catalogued. If somebody has not posted here, it means they have not expressed a wish to be included on the map.
  21. Jasnah is gonna be like
  22. Now they have seen dragons and Others. But at the time of the War of the Five Kings? Robert's rebellion? Last Targaryens?
  23. The initial impression would get him to be considered a god or something like that. And frankly just a Shardblade would accomplish that.
  24. If he does, he conquers the whole world.
  25. Young Dalinar would have conquered the whole continent in months though.
