Jasnah would have been under Gavilar's Crest. We know Dalinar's is the Tower and Crown and Elhokar's Crest is the Sword and Crown; we do not know if the Sword and Crown was used by Gavilar as well or if he had a different iconography for Khokh and Linil than either of those. We also know Navani would have been under Gavilar's crest as well. By the time she and Dalinar wed, the Kholin princedom has moved to Adolin (we do not yet know if he retains Dalinar's Iconography or if he makes any changes) and both Dalinar and Navani are now the monarchs of Urithiru. That leaves a few months after the wedding and before the Battle of Thaylenah for the Tower and Crown to refer to Navani (or them both, as a couple). All that muddiness is why I thought Occam's Razor applied, and it was a simple call-back to Dalinar's youth. Sounds like a good question for a future Sanderson Q&A or AMA.

These aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I would imagine an instinctual knowledge of things relating to the Vessel's Shard applies, while a "questing" knowledge can be learned of things relating to other Shards has been demonstrated. However, you make a good point @Isilel, though I will approach it a different way. Ruin spoon-fed TLR - and likely included disinformation (getting TLR to make the puppets Ruin wanted, but not enough to learn on his own). While Kell gleaned a small bit objectively, and without Ruin's help/interference. I think that is why Kelsier was able to extrapolate and learn more with Spook after the SH Epilogue.

But, they aren't. King T collected them because some of the rattles could have an element of prophecy or forshadowing. I've linked the list; but, for example: I'd be surprised if more than 50% of Death Rattles were prophetic - knowing that we only saw a small percentage of rattles collected by the Diagram and we probably saw >50% as prophetic because it's part of the foreshadowing for the series.

Hope that helps. The Tower and Crown of Dalinar's Glyphpair as a shout out to the Breakneck "Butcher" roll certainly seems to fit Dalinar's backstory, but I doubt it applies to Navani. I always thought this referenced the Singers/Listeners; as there were a number of references to flame and smoke/soot that traced back to their red and black marbled skin/carapace.

Well, Brandon summed it up nicely in this WoB: Aside from that, everybody (fictional or not) grows and changes over time. When you have a single book you only have a finite glimpse to say <this character> was <this role> in <this story>. Kelsier was a hero/anti-hero/Sociopathic Hero for the Era 1 trilogy. Possible spoilers if you have not read all of the Mistborn books/novellas and short stories:

I’m confused on how he’s steadying himself Newton's Laws of Motion. Similar to pushing against a large object in one direction while pushing something in the opposite direction. Since Allomancy transfers force with pushes and pulls according to second and third laws - a simple pull would transfer force to the Lurcher in proportion to the mass being pulled. By pulling a larger object, what force is generated is translated to the larger force allowing the allomancer to pull more strongly without affecting themselves. Note: (Spoilers if this isn't a re-read then you should ignore this part)

Spoilers are allowed as long as the spoiler period is passed and unless the OP asks to avoid spoilers (such as the "Reading first time thread") I think the initial tag was because @Odiumiumium was posting before the OP answered if he had finished through Book 4 yet. These three threads have a lot of dialog on what people think of Moash and why. I'll re-iterate what I said before: Moash (Vyre) is a depiction of the Nietzsche quote: I think Moash's arc is well conceived and executed. He's just a moral sinkhole who has decided to avoid any responsibility for his own choices and actions through excuses and escapism. Any chance he had at redemption, I think went out the window when he killed Teft and Phendorana.

It was explained in the annotations; more specifically, this one:

Keep in mind that some of the events are, as yet, unknown; and that differing time standards for different worlds can alter the interpretation (such as a Rosharan year is approximately 10% greater than Cosmere standard, and Scadrial having two calendars) of a timeline. So, for many events the best we can say is that X came before/after Y; without ascribing definitive timing to the events until we get more data.

Concur. I would say that physically, it is nowhere near the same level as Sadeas' betrayal at the Tower. However, I would put the mental/emotional impact to Kaladin on-par with the mental/emotional impact to Dalinar at the Tower. I am also curious for your thoughts on this Amara. For me, I liked the interludes (generally) for the glimpse they give of other regions/cultures and thought they helped make the book feel "shorter." By that I mean it seemed more like reading a series and taking a short story break between each book for a slightly different pace - as opposed to something like Wheel of Time where it's just a straight 1000 pages nonstop of the same thing . . . I've done a re-read skipping the interludes and it did feel different to me without those short chances to "catch your breath" (but then, I've also done character rereads - going through the first three books only reading Kaladin or Dalinar/Adolin chapters).

Do the forums now disallow sign in from multiple locations? Until a few days ago, I was usually signed in on two different computers with no problem. Now, when I sign in on one computer it signs me off of the other computer. Could there be some other factor I am missing? Both are Win 10 PCs Computer one is using Firefox Computer two is using Brave

It was shown that way, but you might also be able to do it with the Vacuum Tube (the way Navani moved the light to make Anti-Voidlight). Since they ue a vacuum effect to trap the spren in the first place, it seems reasonable.

That's how it was demonstrated (though I remembered it backward). Here's the passage - RoW Ch 84: So you would have to cut in half to conjoin, then move half to the larger (or smaller) gemstone. . .

Don't forget what we learned in RoW about unequal gemstone halves amplifying a fabrial connection. If a small stone was used on the "mic" portion and a larger used on the "speaker" you would have a functional amplifier. Not just a radio - you could effectively have a "bug."

At the bottom left of the post you will see a "+" icon and a "Quote" link. On the bottom right you will see an up arrow. The Up Arrow is how you thank people or "like" a post The "Quote" link is exactly that, when you click it the quote will be added to the reply at the bottom of the thread wherever the cursor is So, if you have already started to reply before you decide to quote you can then add the quote before or after your text depending on the cursor location when you click "Quote" The + icon is multi-quote. As you read a thread, if you want to quote multiple items you click that for each post As you click +, you should see a toaster pop-up on the bottom right of the browser window showing how many quotes you will have They are added in the order you click the + icon, not in the original post order, so you can set the order of quotes for your reply When you are ready to reply, click on the toaster pop-up and it will take you directly to the reply section and add the quotes automatically Finally, you can also highlight a small section of a post and, when hovering over the highlit portion, click the "Quote" button that pops up. Also note that you can move quotes after they have been added to your reply. For example, you add a quote and realize there are no empty lines below it for you to type - so you can hit "enter" before the quote to make an empty line then when you hover over a quote you will see a 4-way arrow at the top-left that you can use to drag the quote up (or down) and move the quote to before the empty line. . . Hope that helps.

If you plan to append your WoR reactions to this thread, then I would say you can edit post one to alter the title accordingly. But I would suggest you make the WoR reactions a new post in the thread (for people who haven't finished WoR but want to read the WoK post).

Short answer - yes. Long answers: see these Words of Brandon. Especially this annotation:

I do - at the end of Ch 55 (spoilers) Sorry Amara, you'll have something to dread looking forward to (or look forward to dreading - how ever you prefer)

No worries. I have them in Calibre on my PC, so it's fairly easy to open the epub and CTRL+F. . . To me, Jasnah's in a room he can't see, down the hall and around the corner. I find the phrase "Could words give off light?" to be metaphorical in that they have cut through his mental fugue and reached his psyche. I've seen and experienced when something heard (quote, song, speech) turns on the metaphorical lightbulb (eureka moment) and that was what I got out of that scene - the mental wake-up call and the start of his Radiant bond. I'm avoiding spoilers for anything unpublished; so if that factors in, I'll have to trust your logic.

Actually, he doesn't see any light before or during the reading. OB Ch 105: He was in a haze (likely withdrawal), and hearing Jasnah's voice lifted that haze. Nowhere does it mention "seeing" light - only that hearing the words made him think of light. Personally, I think it was the start of the Connection that led to the visions and eventually his Nahel bond with The Stormfather.

I think an Aon Tattoo could work on an Elantrian, but I doubt even an Elantrian could make them work on a normal person in the way you describe. We know an Elantrian can make Aons out of anything, but only an Elantrian can turn them on and off when they are part of a physical object. So, trying to put a tattoo on a normal person would be a normal tattoo without an Elantrian to turn the Aon on and off. Ref:

Short answer - probably not. Long Answer: WoR Ch 4 Adolin and Renarin wear the uniform of a Kholin Officer, whereas the Bridge Four uniform was originally leftovers from the Cobalt Guard, and later slightly modified version of the same; all of which are different form the standard Kholin Soldier's uniform.

You may have missed the deleted interlude that goes with Ch 11 (Note the note at the top. . . ) That said, Shallan's journey to the Shattered plains should help meet your expectations. You will get this info in this book as you learn more backstories from Bridge Four. Anticipation Spoiler:

Well, it would depend on the definition, wouldn't it? Compounding (Capital C) is a feature of the metallic arts from Scadrial in which use of one form of investiture through a different method (burning a Metalmind) changes how both "work" (The burning changes the output from the Allomantic result to the Feruchemical result; while burning instead of tapping changes the output power from additive and balances to multiplicative and exponentially increased). However, it is possible that compounding (small c) is a feature of similar effects from different or related sources results in a multiplicative result, We don't have enough data to say this is true, but I think it is possible. What makes you say that it interferes with Illumination? From the data I'm aware of, we only truly know that Renarin was not able to use Illumination the same way that Shallan does; but we also know that each order's manifestation of a surge are not necessarily the same. Also, we know he was able to use illumination with Moash in RoW for an effect similar to Electrum (showing Moash what he could have been if things in the past had gone differently). It could very well be an application between Progression and Regrowth, similar to the Reverse Lashing being an application of both Adhesion and Gravitation. Also, while squires could slowly heal from a shard deadened limb; I thought the original point was why would King T need to imply an honorblade with regrowth was how Kaladin healed his arm. So, it's not just *what* can heal a blade deadened limb; it's what methods that don't require a Radiant Bond can do so and why T thought that was the best red herring for continuing to manipulate Szeth. He is also the only Truthwatcher/Edgedancer we have seen in the situation where that level of healing was needed. Until we see somebody other than Lift or Renarin perform this type of healing (or fail to do so) we won't have enough data to know if it is a feature or bug of a Truthwatcher/Edgedancer bond.

Most likely T mentioned an Honorblade with Regrowth because the healing Szeth gained from the Windrunner Honorblde didn't let him heal a blade severed limb, so if you are trying to convince The Assassin in White that Radiants have not returned, it would take a Regrowth Blade to heal a blade severed limb. Very likely, since Renarin's fight with the Thunderclast showed him using healing like Miles in AoL: Oathbringer Ch 120: Then again, it's Renarin, so there could be other factors. . .
