We don't know for sure, though he likely built a short wall (like the outer cities' border wall) to continue this function. However, not just anybody would be able to undo the Chasm line anyway, only an Elantrian with the intent to end or change an Aon would be able to affect it once it was completed (possibly another Manifestation of Dor - like Dilaf's could also do the same). WoBs: Hope that helps

I think that if they had flags, they would probably use the Planet Symbols that are already in use. WoBs: The easiest place to find them is on the star charts in Arcanum Unbounded (tiny symbol on the planet), with some being released on the Leatherbound editions. We don't know them all yet, though.

I was looking at this thread (Ruin Changes SA). Which made me think that the changes might have been for the 10th Anniversary Leatherbound. There are many WoBs about the Elantris 10A changes, so I went WoB Hunting - but I can't find anything there about text updates for Anniversary. Then I thought to myself, Coppermind book page should mention if text was updated for different versions/printings. Nope, no mention (not even the WoR Climax change, which I could have swon was in the trivia section of the book page) Long story short (too late) - I'm wondering if there should be a section on each book's page to mention changes between versions. Probably not the content of the changes - just the fact that "changes to chapter x, y, z" with the WoBs (if any). Or even just a simple "typo changes in this version" or "error changes in this version" etc. Something as a reference that says "this has changed." It might help newer fans when they get confused talking with others, but don't realize they may have read different versions. There's a thread I can't seem to find right now that was the Sharder discussing how he and his friend both read Elantris at the same time only to realize one had the original paperback and one had the 10th edition trade when they tried comparing information. The one that posted here was trying to confirm "who was right." Similarly, I just had to mediate a disagreement about a different series (Iron Druid book 9) at work for the same reason, one coworker just finished and was discussing with another one who had read it some time ago; only to find out it was a change between the hardcover and mass market versions. I'm not sure this would be useful, but I thought it might merit discussion.

Ditto - my TWoK also says Year and Amber - but my epub is a decade old at least, and not on any active account since I keep them in Calibre. However, checking the new version I bought a year ago (hoping for better resoluton chapter header images - Brandon's books are worth buying multiples) I see both of these changes. "Eight months" in Ch 9 and the Ch 38 stops with "they leaked light too." (Amber clause removed). So, it does seem to be a version update thing, though I am not sure when those changes were implemented. Likely they happened when editing for the 10th anniversary edition (just like the Elantris Changes). PS: WoK Typos on TWG start here

Not quite what Hoid says. Tress Ch 26: So, "one of the best" - at least on par with the likes of Wax (unless he's playing with "seen" since I don't think he was present for any of the action scenes to watch Wax shoot). Edit: you are missing Baon (White Sand)

You might find these two articles interesting Rosharan Dates Oathbringer Timeline Includes a picture of part of the Timeline for Way of Kings So, Karen would have in her notes (nearly) exactly when Kal arrived and how many days he was a bridgeman. We can hope that, someday, we'll get access to at least some of these timeline sections.

For years in the barracks I only cooked with plug-in electric appliances. An electric Wok works as a saucepan (such as boiling pasta) and other uses. Many braising techniques can be adapted to stovetop without an oven by using a good cast iron dutch oven or crock pot for plug-in countertop use. Also, many smaller "baked" items can be done in a toaster oven with few adaptations (especially a decent one that has top and bottom heating elements, and lets you choose top, bottom, or both). Then there are all of those "instant pot" things that have multiple uses, but I have not tried any of those myself (my sister loves hers though).

Normal people, not Sharders. . . Literature: Music: Film:

And Reading Excuses for trading critiques and support. From the Forum Summaries:

Sand is generally a bio-substance, and usually a product of the marine environment (on which Roshar is based). From the other wiki: WoBs: Sandy beaches, in a storm surge, will often wash off shore into sandbars (which Shallan also mentions, because the Santhid leaves her on one) but they do not tend to "blow away" due to surface wetting forces. The mass of individual grains is much smaller than the mass of the water droplets holding them down and together - which is wny you get sand storms in desert environments, but not beach environments. As for the tides - sure each moon is smaller than our moon, but you have tidal gravitation from (at least) four distinct sources (their sun and three moons, which each pass much closer to the planet than ours). I imagine the tides on Roshar to be very complex, but with a lower average tidal differentiation than we would see in our world (NOAA links - Nova Scotia can be as great as 38+ feet). I would also expect that, like @hwiles said, part of the effect they are seeing is storm surge from the Highstorms while off-shore, which they simply call "tide" because of the similar effect of offshore storms interacting in the beach environment. Hope that helps

Sphere value. If Kal is "earning" 1 clearmark per day, how do you get 500 Clearmarks is 100 days? Should it not be 500 days. At 5 Rosharan days per Rweek, that's 100 Rweeks or 10 RMonths which is 1 Ryear.

Oh, I agree - just to clarify: I was not saying that his epilesy was not healed I was saying that Renarin sees what is happening as related to his "fits" (Renarin's Perception) At least, as of the end of Oathbringer

Partially. His eyesight was healed, but (according to Renarin) his Epilepsy just changed forms. We'll probably learn more as we see more from Rlain in SA5. Qaothbringer Ch 120: So, that's showing how his perception is affecting how those visions manifest.

Welcome to the Shard. Glad you enjoyed the story thusfar. Just rememeber. . . "There's always another secret." If you are looking for more Sanderson Cosmere works, you may want to consider checking out a few of the reading order threads (linked thread includes links to other reading order threads).

I believe a spike counting as a single object has more to do with Identity, perception, and the number of Bindpoints it requires (which as far as I know should only need to ever be one). Please keep in mind that even if you match the metals, different powers can't use the wrong bind point. WoB (and Annotation): So, a Pewter Spike with a Skimmer charge will use a different bind point in the recipient than a Pewter spike with a Steelrunner charge. I talked about Meridians in these two posts. But here's an example of how detailed actual Acupuncture meridians are: Finding a specific point requires understanding of Cun and how that is used to measure points on the body (note - since the Cun is based on the thumb width, when measuring somebody else, you need to use their thumb's width). For example, (I don't have my reference books here at work - so I may update this example tonight to be more accurate); if the H-Brass Bindpoint for a spike with an Archivist charge uses Heart Meridian point 2, that would be through the biceps 3 cun above the elbow and 1 cun Medial from the humorous.

Well, I was still active duty Air Force at the time (stationed in Okinawa), so when she was laid off by Oldsmobile (because the brand was being closed down) it allowed her to get dependant status (and thereforre access to the Tricare militay medical insurance - but that was not an easy process). So, yeah, it just made sense.

Just like Kaladin's scar, it depends on the circumstances and the person's self-perception. WoBs: So, for example, a Congential Disease might not be healed because it is a part of the person, but their perception would still play a part. Cancer from Lightweaving microwave radiation? If you think that is a side effect that should happen, then maybe it won't heal. Things like that. . .

That's fine, we are allowed to disagree. Your cited WoB confirms only that it is determined at birth, not that they are the same section of Spiritweb. I still think that if the same section of sDNA was the determining factor you would have more "familial lines" of the same kind of Misting, rather than Siblings like Push and Pull, or Children like Tineye Straff and his multitude of non-Tineye children.

I would think that "I'm an allomancer" (Feruchemist, etc.) section of the spiritweb has to be separate from the "Abiility to burn/store <metal>" section otherwise you would not be able to steal different powers from a Mistborn/Twinborn (based on metal used and spike location). Therefore the sDNA that factors for genetic descendants is likely based on the "Amount of Allomantic/Feruchemical potential" section moreso than the "Burn/Store <metal>" section - especially since we see that specific metals do not seem to floow family lines.

I had something similar (post here), I logged off both locations, then cleared cookies and history in both locations, then signed on one. Waited number of hours (during which Chaos replied), then logged on the second. It lasted about a day (30ish hours) IIRC.

I was not intending to be accusatory, which is why my very next sentence was: I based this hypothesis on checking the games section, and seeing posts that were minutes old - if the person had shardbuddies listed they nearly always had at least 1 rep and clicking on the profiles of the shardbuddies showed that at least one in the list was "currently reading" the minute-old post. Not conclusive, I understand - but 15 consecutive tests (over about 6 hours) yielding 100% (posts with both rep and shardbuddies always showed a shardbuddy reading the post) results is, at least, worrisome (and worth noting, even if the action is subconcious or non-pervasive). Granted, there is no way to know that the shardbuddy gave the rep. Again, it's not conclusive; but does merit consideration. To be clear, I do not think "Shardbuddies" is a bad thing at all, but I do think it is a factor in the discussion at hand.

Were you using CTRL+F to find the word on page, searching the coppermind for "Array," or do you mean browning the internet and getting a return link for Coppermind? In this case, maybe it was an example of "case" matters, (Array was capitalized, and if you had case turned on but did not capitalize your query. . . ) The Coppermind does not have a redirect set up for "Array" because we do not yet have enogh information This would probably depend on which search engine you have set as default, but withotu a redirect it is unlikely to yield results in this particular case. Hope that helps

Keep in mind that these star charts are products of Silverlight, and also done by an arcanist, not an astrophysicist - so the naming is thematically based on the star system they depict (or how the people writing them beleive the natives would name them, if they have no direct evidence) and the orbits are not actual depictions, but approximations as an overview. Much like: I would not draw any significant conclusions from the details of these charts, except the most over-arching details (Taldain in a tidal locked orbit, Rosharan system with ten gas giants, etc.) The Rosharan system was created by Adonalsium pre-shattering, not by Honor (or Honor and Cultivation) which is not to say they could not have changed one or more things - but we have no evidence that they did change anything. However, the naming of the Gas Giants is likley to be influenced by Honor. Many planets had life created directly, so an evolutionary tie to sun color, outgassed elements andother evolutionary mechanics are unlikely to apply (or not apply in the same way); and many planets that did not have life created directly were colonized by Worldhopping. Hope that helps.

I'd have to say its the third option you mention. Fiction based on fact. There would only have to have been one person to fit the description (combined with rumors about the outpost) for that to morph into the legend we learn about in the book.

I think this is a combination of area culture and generation culture. I would posit that the number of rep awarded per day in "Community" is at least an order of magnitude greater than the number awarded per day in Cosmere Discussion (which would far outstrip Non-Cosmere, just by how active those boards are). Additionally, I feel like the majority of people active in Community are close in age/peer group, which also comprises the people active in making Status Updates and/or monitoring other people's status updates (please see this thread for my thoughts on that). Not to mention the "Shardbuddy" thing that uses peer pressure to make sure each person is adding Rep to "all my buddies" fairly consistently (regardless of post location or topic). I may be way off-base with this informal analysis, but really my only point is that any blanket characterization of how frequetly "Sharders" give "rep" is bound to be skewed by which sections of the forum a given individual is most active in reading and posting. I also think that regardless of the decision on handling rep in the future, the "problem" is unlikely to be significantly mitigated by any "solution" that only addresses one axis of the issue. Without a culture shift that rep is about "giving recognition when due" instead of "popularity contest" then the popularity contest will just find other avenues to be expressed.
