My magic-system knowledge is so limited that I took it for serious. Thanks!

If we go by Extensians liguinism, Vedel fits pretty well with Vedenar. Jezrien was the King of the Heralds, so I reckon that Urithiru would be his spawnpoint. Taln seems to be a good fit for Kholinar, and Ishar works well for Sesemalex Dar (we need to short that name for ease of discussion). Thaylen City... could be anyone. A merchant related Herald would be obvious here, but we have none. I have not gone deep into Oathbringer spoiler areas, so I have no idea about what Akinah might fit. If I may suggest some other cities: *Capital of Azir (forgot the name): Nalan. It seems to be a very strict society with complex laws. That is totally Nales jam. *Rall Elorim: A herald might have spawned here, which could be the reason for its nickname, City of Shadows. I have no idea which Herald this would be though.

Storms yes, I would. My bet for the winner is either Vin or Miles. EDIT: Miles might be banned when I think about it. In that case, Vin wins.

Well, the last part of my post was correct then. Ruins mind-reading skills were indeed not that great :-) I guess Preservation (and by extension Harmony) would require cracks/spikes just like @Ammanas said then.
-
Why would they explode?
-
Harmony should be able to watch any place he wants (except for metal covered ones) but he is not omnipotent, and can not watch everything at once. I think you are right about needing an earring. Ruin could not read the minds of someone who wasn't spiked if I remember correctly (and even then his mind-reading skills were not all that great).

I'll add some new fights then: 1. Kelsier (Mistborn only) vs Wax and Wayne 2. Adolin vs Dalinar (pre-Radiant Dalinar) 3. Denth vs Hammond

Kaladin is more honourable than Dalinar?
Toaster Retribution replied to discorat's topic in Stormlight Archive
Tbh, he was Sadeas slave. He didn't have a choice. So "betraying" Sadeas isn't really a breach of honor, unless you are Nalan or Szeth. -

Toaster Retribution replied to discorat's topic in Stormlight Archive
You could make an argument for the fact that he dislikes Lighteyes because they are Lighteyes, and the fact that he doesn't turn Graves in to Dalinar. Possibly the fact that he hijacked Adolins boon in order to punish Amaram as well. -

Well, if Shallans flashbacks are anything to go by, you are right. -
Where does Feruchemy come from then? Is that a creation of both Ruin and Preservation? It can't predate the Shards because... well, Scadrial doesn't predate the Shards.

1. Miles would most likely take Renarin. A few well-placed gunshots should be enough to finish Renarin, who, just like Lift, lacks experience. Gold can't heal Shardblade wounds though, right? 2. Tough one. Shallan has to have some sort of weapon, so I assume she has a knife/sword of some sort. So if she can fool Shai with Lightweaving and stab her in the back, she would win. If she fails, Shai would take it, since she is a better fighter. 3. Elend would win, since he would pull on the spear and steal it. Then he would shoot Kaladin with coins. If he has Atium, it will be even worse for poor Kaladin. Oh, and @Nohadon, I can probably make some fights later, if anyone is interested.

I saw it yesterday, and I loved it. Better than Wonder Woman (which is also great), but not as great as Guardians (which is still the best). Tom Holland was great, and the side characters were awesome too. Ned and Liz were cool, but Zendaya and the Vulture were the stars for me. Those two were awesome. The Vulture is the best MCU villain, no contest.

Books, Movies and Show You Did Not Like
Toaster Retribution replied to Draginon's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I did not like Blade Runner much. It was not outright bad, but... it wasn't very good either. The Harry Potter movies are not very good (except for number 3). The books are MUCH better. Eragon movie is very bad. So is the Inkheart movie. Percy Jackson was kind of fun though, but books are WAY better. First Divergent book was alright, but the only character I enjoyed died at the end, so I didn't read the rest of the series. -
And this WoB does not mean that a Windrunner automatically wins just because he is a Windrunner. For example, Kaladin at the end of WoK is a Windrunner, but he is unexperienced with his powers. Against someone like Vin, or Kelsier, who knows exactly what they are doing, WoK Kaladin would most likely still lose.
-
First off, if you name a topic DeathBattle, you have basically summoned me. As for the fights: 1. TLR vs Szeth: TLR crushes Szeth. Fullborns are extremely dangerous. Also, TLR has more experience than Szeth. 2. Odium would probably win, since he has experience. 3. Depends on the amount of metals, and the amount of Stormlight. I will say that Vin takes the majority though. Lift is good at getting away, but is an untrained fighter. Vin is basically a killer. She would probably take Lift in a fight (also, Atium).

Gothenburg, which is on the southern west-coast of Sweden. It is our biggest port town. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it over here. I hope to visit Australia at some point in my life, though I'm a bit worried over the fact that basically everything in Australia is supposed to be dangerous (probably an overexaggeration). -
My guess is that it has to do with there being three Shards. Honor is connected to the Stormfather, Cultivation to the Nightwatcher (yes, I believe she can be bonded). The only weak point is how Odium fits into this, but my guess is still that it has to do with the number of Shards.

Kaladin is more honourable than Dalinar?
Toaster Retribution replied to discorat's topic in Stormlight Archive
Fair enough. He does have prejudices (I think that's the word) against them though. First of, blaming Tiens death on Kaladin is unfair. He could be the best surgeon in the world, and he wouldn't have been able to save Tien anyway. Second, Kaladin did save lives. He saved random people like Cenn who would have been killed without him (granted, Cenn died anyway, but just like with Tien, Kaladin could not have done anything). And he did act as a surgeon, at least for his own men. Being honorable is about having a code and following it. For you, that code might mean no killing. For others, the code will mean some killing. Dalinar is the SA character with a very obvious code (The Way of Kings) which he follows pretty strictly. The only time I can think of him lapsing is when he teamed with Sadeas, and allowed him to use his bridgemen. But otherwise, he always stays on course, which is why I feel that he is the most honorable. -

The origin of my name (I assume you mean the username) is this thread about what Cosmere names the people here would have. Toaster Retribution was my Threnody-name, and I liked it so much that I took it as a username too. Pineapple on pizza... I don't think it would match well, to be honest. I really dont like vegetables on pizza in general. I have had pizza with fish sticks though. -

Toaster Retribution replied to discorat's topic in Stormlight Archive
I think that it has to do with how honorable is defined. I definitely think that some people would define doing what you think is right as honorable. After all, that is the following of your own personal codes, and Adolin never breaks his as far as I recall (except arguably with Sadeas). Kaladin does. He does something that he deep inside knows is wrong. The oath he breaks is much worse than Adolins. He is basically a racist toward lighteyes. He wants Darkeyes to be treated better, but he doesn't really have issues with mistreating Lighteyes. -
I have seen a bunch of people on here disliking Shadows of Self. I have no idea why, I think it is the best Era 2 book to be honest. So, I just wonder, why is it that people don't like SoS?

Considering that he was very stressed, confused, tired, wounded and scared, I wouldn't hold it against him at all. He had withstood the instinct to kill Sadeas the entire book. There are a lot of times during WoR when he is tempted to kill Sadeas, but decides not to act upon that instinct. He also places himself in prison for Kaladins sake, saves random prostitues and follows the Codes out of love for his father, despite not wanting too. I would say that Adolin this far has been more honorable than Kaladin. I would rank them: 1. Dalinar 2. Adolin 3. Kaladin Of course, we can agree to disagree on this. -

Considering that Adolins vigilante justice was a snap decision in a very heated moment, I wouldn't hold it against Adolins honor. That is not something that he would normally have done.
