Did we ever find out how many of Tindwyl's 20 children were Feruchemists? That might help devise some math for inheritance rates.

I'm reading The Stormlight Archive for the first time
Treamayne replied to Amira's topic in Stormlight Archive
It pertains to Mistborn Era 2 - and how they reference the characters who were in Mistborn Era 1 Yeah - Ch 76 is a high note. With the possible exception that so much stupidity could have been avoided if Dalinar had just actually told Kaladin that he was investigating. . . There are days at work this doesn't seem like such a bad idea, actually. Sarcasm aside, it was such a bad idea it drove his retainers to make the test and limit his ability to interact/enact law on both ends of the bell curve of Intellectual/Emotional IQ. So, bad idea had good(ish) results. Sounds about right Book 3 - Dalinar Flashbacks I would call it around Ch 81. Very hard to put down from then until the end. Well, to be fair, Aesudan has some things going on besides her horrid personality. -
It's possible that when Shallan needed a new page to finish Tyn's communication-by-spanred in the tent, she used the back side of one of her drawings. I just rechecked the text, and it doesn't say such, but it is shortly after stopping at the lait. I figured it might be a factor if translating the text requires a mirror image first (i. e. it's faint because it's being seen through the paper)

Here we only have speculation (so far); but it is likely that the last time Stormfather had a Bondsmith was before Honor was Splintered - and back then a Bondsmith could not have done what Dalinar did. Honor's limits on surgebinding were more strict when he was around to enforce them.

How the hell are the singers maintaining their population?
Treamayne replied to bmcclure7's topic in Stormlight Archive
Also, keep in mind that Slave Form was also fertile, and there is already a large population of children by the time the Everstorm arrives. Also development and maturity come much faster for a Singer than a human (Venli's first "Form" was around age 7 - entering "puberty" and considered an adult at age 10). Coppermind -
It's not the Thrill attacking him, it's Odium. Ch. 100 Clue: Nergaoul is nearly mindless. He's attracted to violence and inflames those emotions. He certainly doesn't talk to the people he influences in any other scene where we see the Thrill acting upon the viewpoint character. Dalinar takes these thoughts as being his own and/or from his memories; but this "give me your pain" shows the whole thing was an attack by Odium pushing Dalinar to a point where he will become Odium's champion. The thrill is attracted to violence; as Dalinar remembered what happened at Rathalas - he opened his old connection to Nergaoul and Odium used that as a conduit to attack. While Nergaoul is a distinct entity, his effect covers huge regions (during the Civil War, he was effecting every soldier for miles around the entire city), just as everybody in Kholinar felt Ashertmarn - but the effects were only noticeable once a Connection was formed (joining the revel) and grew stronger as that Connection strengthened. As far as the Gateway is concerned - Urithuru is certainly closer to Vedenar than the Shattered Plains - and Nergaoul was still affecting those with a Strong Connection on the Shattered Plains while it was in Jah Kaved (as seen in Dalinar's Viewpoint in TWoK). . . It was not a Shardblade - it was a piece of Honor's investiture (likely similar to that which makes Honorblades), but not formed into anything specific (or even manifested as a metal). Grabbing for it strained their bond and injured the Stormfather. Ch 100:

The contract is a good skeleton on which to hang the concept - but also remember it's a bit deeper than that. The Spren will only be attracted to somebody that already "shares" some of their Ideals (e.g. Syl was attracted to Kaladin because he was already the type of person inclined to protect others and honor oaths). So, when an Oath is sworn, the Radiant has to follow that Oath. Going against the Oath weakens the bond. The whole Chasm sequence was foreshadowed on the Training grounds way back in Ch 18: I hope you've found sticking with it has been worth the time and trouble. -

Keep in mind the morals and precepts aren't the same for every order. You can even take an official quiz. (Quiz results may have more information that you want at this point - but are not spoilers for the actual stories) -

There's much more gong on here. . . This is what I was looking forward to you finding way back on Page 14, Glad you liked it as much as I had hoped. Adolin certainly received some much-needed character development in WoR. For me the highpoint is Ch 66 (spoiler - so you may want to wait and come back to read this when you get that far): This ties into some of the Epigraphs and a comment from Syl in Ch 22 Kinda like people IRL? -
Do you perhaps mean "sapiant?" From Wikipedia: We've already seen evidence of Sentience from Clod/Arsteel.

Weird Al style remakes of other character's songs - showing how clever his wordplay can be. Although, maybe Javert (Les Miserables) is a better comparison... Similar to how "Javert's Suicide" is just "ValJean's Soliloquy" with different lyrics. So, the music from Dalinar (or others) with the lyrics changed to fit T.

Probably typos - Subtitles are also usually created with speech-to-text software, and if he is saying the "American" pronunciation, I doubt the software would get a proper French spelling.

Where did you see that? A foreign translated book or in somebody's postings online? It's never been Kelsior that I can find in any of my Cosmere stories. WoB:

I think the Dresden Files book Battlegrounds does a good job of showing magic vs modern military

Yeah. . . that can't end well. Good catch. What I was hoping for was, at this point: Kaladin should have laughed (in a bleak and pained way) and told Dalinar right then what "couldn’t do any more harm" looked like. I'll circle back to this later in WoR, when the rest of my comment won't need spoilers. -
Kolgril Also (Stormlight Archive Spoiler) So it is likely that there is an Aviar allow you to track or find things/people/animals. Or if not healing, then maybe something like alleviating discomfort and pain (SA and Mistborn Spoilers)

I tried searching and didn't find this answer (sorry if I missed it). I know that when you are Mentioned or somebody Quotes your post, you get a notification on the forum (bell icon). I was trying to confirm or deny if that same event happens when a Quote or Mention is added to a post though "Edit." Since the post already exists, I wasn't sure if that would trigger whatever code detects the information and makes the notification. Example: I had already posted this post on Awakening, when I found the other WoB on one-breath commands. So I edited my post (it was still the last post in the thread), added the quote from Stormtide_Leviathan and added the WoB. I wasn't sure if the edit would notify SL of the quote, or if I needed to Mention him (@) - or if even that would trigger a notification if the post was only edited instead of newly posted. Not a huge deal either way, just curious about how this interaction plays out. Thank you very much for your time and have a great day Edit: Test @AonEne

Yes. Or at least in part - since the descriptions we have of Inquisitor Steelsight is that they see Steel and Iron lines pointing to all the trace metals in people and objects. HoA Prologue:

@Stormtide_Leviathan I also found this WoB on one-breath commands (well, annotation/WoB) This was partially discussed over in the Cosmere Discussion Forum here. Mistborn Spoiler

I'm guessing this was the Fleet chapter. Fleet (and the Wandersail in TWoK) might seem inconsequential; but there are usually some nuggets to be mined. Also, forewarning, Wit's first story was worldbuilding, two might be coincidence, but three would be a pattern. . . -
RAFO We have not been given that information yet. Your theory is one of the popular ones, some also believe that what Renarin does with his Enlightened Spren is Voidbinding. There are other options as well, but the short answer is that we don't have a confirmed answer.

You got more info on Dalinar's experience in Book 3. There is a hint at both sides of Lift's bargain in that interlude. The other half of the bargain is implied much earlier than her ability to metabolize food into light. Spoiler (WoR I-9) in case you would rather not go look for it yourself:
