@CoderDrag0n8 - just bringing this to your attention. Goodreads Synopsis

Keep in mind that part of this answer is, specifically, left unanswered by Brandon for readers to decide for themselves. WoBs: So, objectively, we know there is a Spiritweb in the Spiritual Realm. We know that it is consumed by Nightblood and Father Machine. We know that Sazed and Kelsier believe that Vin and Elend went to the Beyond after the events of HoA. Furthermore, we know that some people call what is consumed by Nightblood "the soul" - while some people call what goes Beyond "the soul." Who is right? Brandon wants readers to decide for themeselves. He will never answer that question. Hope that helps

Welcome to the Shard. Thank you for the Intro Post to let us know what you have read; don;t forget to update the list as you continue in the Cosmere. Also please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some (hopefully) useful forum tips and information. As far as I know, the only two surgebinding resonances that are confirmed are Windrunners and Lightweaves (clarified in the RPG as affecting perception or memory ref Stargyle). We don't really have enough information to know the others yet. But, it all gets more complicated with characters like Shallan and Lift who also have other factors affecting their Spiritweb. WoB: Hope that helps

I have a post here that provides the information on which books are referenced in other books to help make informend decisions on reading order. Please remember to update post one onc you finish Warbreaker and move on to your next Cosmere read.

12124 says that only Highspren swear oaths, but he's young and new and unreliable narrator applies. Elsewhere it is implied that pre-recreance all Spren swore oaths: That section of the wiki seems to be poorly worded based on the source it claims. So, it seems Cultivation wasn't involved so much as the process was crafted to abide by the Contract she made in WaT Ch 113. It's less clear, but seems implied to me that Tanner didn't so much create the Oath system and "ratify" what Ishar proposed. But, then, the actual nature of Kor's Contract and much of the Oath system is still unexplained; likely to prepare for more reveals in the second Arc of Roshar.

The thing to keep in mind is that while Honor (Tanavast) was associated with 10, and considered 5 to be a weak number - Honor was not behind the Knights Radiant and the Oaths - that was Ishar''s doing. So, while we do not yet know why Ishar used a five Oath model - we at least know it's not ten because it was not driven by Tanavast or his prejudices. Hope that helps.

Logic is sound, but it would take a lot of practice/control to make something ascendable (first line, step up, second line knocks you off since they would all be the same "height" as far as we know) There is one WoB that contraindicates for the idea Was there ever a reason to try? WoBs: Hope that helps

I would recommend shortening it. Your signature is longer than this post, even on PC, for example: Granted, I am not a mod - but since the stated intention is: (Additional explanation) I'd like to chime in as well, because I realize this comes across as very fun-policey. What's the problem with giant signatures? The problem is that when you are scrolling through a topic, particularly with many short posts, big signatures add a lot of vertical space and noise. Compare this to what is now an objectively more popular way to communicate, Reddit, and it's just so much easier to read a sequence of text there. Forums have had much less membership over the last ten years. Let's try and not accelerate that process more and make the forums look nice for all, so people want to join in. You may consider what information is better on your profile page for friends and what, realistically, should be visible to anybody responding to one of your posts.

Understood, but I think you missed my main point: Splinter:

Welcome to the Shard. Thank you for the Intro Post to let us know what you have andr have-not read. Please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful forum info and tips. Who said it has stopped? All we know at the time of SfSitFoH is that it has not yet found a way to cross the water to Hell. If we ever get Night Brigade, that will deal with the Continent and The Evil Sunlit Man implies The Evil may have crossed to Hell at some point Anti-Investiture is not known to invert the Intent based on current data. Also, it is implied (not confirmed) that The Evil is not composed of only chunks of Ambition - Odium also left chunks of power on Threnody when wounded. We do not know that the two are synonymous. Khriss was talking about what happened on Threnody. The Grand Knell does not seem to be centered on any planet, is more likely tied to where Ambition was finally Splintered (and Ambitions missing "corpse"). WoBs and References: Hope that helps

My initial implression was that "Ageless" was the first person to use the Well and become a Sliver. However, without Ruin imprisoned, it seems using up the Well (in the 1024 yr cycle) allows the imbalance for the Murk to be completely/predominately of Ruin. Will read again tomorrow when I am less tired and can cross check a few things.

Native Rosharan is implied both by the linguistic etymology and the ecological niche and natureal Nahel bond. WoBs: Hope that helps

And how much the society of the Final Empire accepted that as normal. It starts in the Book 1 prologue, and Straff in Book 2 shows how even the fall of TLR did not much impact that culture of abuse outside of Luthadel where Elend was purposefully trying to change things.

Is the image in this post? Can you reduce the image by 1%, and does that change the acceptibility?
