Herdazians and Horneaters are both races descended from Singer/Human interbreeding. WoBs:

Have you read Yumi and/or Sunlit Man? Cameos in both. They also make a Cameo in The Lost Metal. WoB:

Not to mention Felt, Axindweth (who knows when she left Scadrial - or her real name if she was in Era 1), Demoux's wife, and any other random characters-turned worldhoppers and returning in Era 3. Who else may have disappeared before or after the Catacendre and be making a come back. Though, really my point is there is not enough information to imply their were either a major character, or Spiked during Era 1.

Keep in mind that in Sanderson-Lingo "Spike filled" may only mean they have Spikes in Era 3 - not that they necessarily had spikes in Era 1 or 2. That's possibly why it is a parathetical

Please use Cosmere Discussion for discussion of opinion-based ideas - Q&A is for asking questions that may have definitive answers (so that the answer can be marked to let others find an answer quickly with a search). Also, please see this thread (or the many like it) that already discuss this topic. We do have a definitive answer though - WoBs: Hope that helps

@Quantus gave one of the WoBs, so I'll just add: The text describes what Marsh did (a combination of Iron and Steel, likely flared - accounting for the fact that with multiple spikes Marsh is likely stronger in both metals than a normal allomancer would be): TLM Ch 28: We have also seen both Kelsier and Wax do something similar: BoM Prologue: TFE Ch 34: Hope that helps

I have a decade on you and I'm dyslexic; so, whether I know how to spell something or not, I have to go slow, reread, and fix on multiple passes to get things coherent (which is also why you may notice 80+% of my posts are edited, with the reason labelled as SPAG (spelling and grammar)). It just takes effort and the will to try. As Dalinar said (paraphrased) - the most important step is the next step. If you accept the failure the journey has ended and that failure becomes your destination. Modern day for us? No. Cyberpunk is something different as well (a potential book between Era 3 and 4, much like Alloy of Law was supposed to be a stand-alone between Era 1 and 2 (when the Canon Era 3 was planned as Era 2). The original plan was Fantasy - Urban Fantasy - Space Opera for the three Scadrial Eras. Era three has been called many things, but what it comes down to is that it's planned for the start of the Computer age for Scadrial. WoBs (edited for Length and Relevance): Hope that helps

BLUF: Assassination of Gavilar was 1167r, The Night of Sorrow was 1175r - so Arc 1 spans 8 Rosharan Years. Roshar Characteristics and Calandar: 1 Roshar Year is roughly 1.1 Cosmere Standard and comprised of 10 Rosharan Months (10 weeks), 100 Rosharan weeks (five days), for a total of 500 Rosharan days (20 Rosharan Hours). Thaidakar told Shallan that he estimates about 80 Scadrian Years will have passed during the tim dilation in which approximately 10 Rosharan years pass. The two scales are local to each of their timeframes. Please see this Article (summarized in this WoB) and possibly the Oathbringer Timeline Article for more information. No worries, nobody here is perfect. If you want to improve - I use Wiktionary for spelling help (I keep it open in a second browser tab). Also, simply paying attention to structure (separate topics into their own paragraphs, punctuation and spelling, etc.) will take care of most misunderstandings before they can happen.

TenSoon mentions it in SoS Ch 20: But, he does not mention the First Generation; and (in Sanderson style) he says "many" not "all." May be connected to Worldhopping Kandra (pre-MeLaan). I also wonder if the Firsts could have retained some memories after the Resolution - they were not born as Kandra - they were made that way by Rashek, so the Reolution may have done more damage to them (or they simply did not survive the event).

20 rep per 24 hour period (I phrase it this way because it "rolls" - 24 hours after a rep has been given, it becomes available again). Please see this discussion. From the Sharder FAQ:

We do see it, but not until Vivenna tries using the Command. Warbreaker: Hope that helps

Enough to die by Square Cube Law. WoBs: My guess is that Kandra don't drop mass as shed limbs/objects, rather there seems to be a distinct difference between digesting mass (as food) and eating masss to incorporate into their form. TenSoon as OreSeur as Wolfhound ate regularly (asking for aged meat when possible) and never grew any larger. For that matter, TenSoon comsumed OreSeur and didn't become a double-sized human before consuming the first wolfhound. It seems that consuming bodies to increase mass is a possible process, but not the norm. Likely they can digest extra mass as food over time (TenSoon was back to Wolfhound size in SoS) to reduce mass. Edit: Correction - they can expel excess mass - MeLaan implies it expels like a liquid (or th liquify it to expel it) - SoS Ch 17: Hope that helps

Yes~ish. Most Rosharand would not look like any currently known race IRL. Perhaps it would be easier to say thta most Rosharan natives would seem, to us, to be mixed race. WoBs (some Edited for relevance) : Also, culturally, the Alethi are based on the Mongols during the Golden Hoard period (during and after Ghengis, during expansion and empire). Hope that helps

Or, if it comes out that the Survivor visited the Malwish, you could end up with a Religious schism (like Shia and Sunni) for those survivorists that Accept the Survivor was the Southerner's Sovereign and those who do not.

Epicanthic Fold

It would not be Canon, because we don't have enough information from which to derive, but it is plausible (if unlikely) that the closest to get to something like this would be using a 2-power Malwish Medallion with F-Duralumin (Store/Tap Connection) and F-Chromium (Store/Tap Fortune). There could also be a potential AonDor equation that would get this result, but that's hardly quick enough for a bodyguard function.

Theoretically all Radiants should be able to use Warlight, just as all Radiants can use Tower Light (at least while in/near the tower). Based upon what we see of Towerlight in WaT, it's likely that Warlight will function, but be used faster, leak faster and be less efficient for those with only a Connection to half of the light. For Enlightened Radiants, it should function as normal (or even better than normal - assuming part of Renarin's problems to date was weak connection to Stormlight).

My take for that chapter was that timing didn;t leave much time or space for rumination. That said, it certainly seems very beleivable to me - Lirin and Hesina have barely been a part of Kal's life for years. The re-established contact barely a year ago when Kaladin first went back to Hearthstone. They've been involved in each other's life again for a efw weeks, since the Hearthstone refugees came to the Tower (right before the invasion). Kal and Lirin have been repairing their relationship for a couple days, when Lirin finally decided to limit how abusively he treats his son. In my decades of military service and years of time deployed, I can say that in my experience; when the situation is tense and time-constricted, compartmentalization is common, and thoughts of home are usually not on your mind until the situation calms enough to allow one to relax.

Well, if you didn't look at the link, just know that it is indexed with summaries and other info. My top recommendations for Fantasy and YA-adjacent (Nothing too explicit) would be: Both of those have some exceptional examples of Elemental Magic, and both are hard magics similar to Sanderson uses. Less Magic (some magic, but a bit soft), more Worldbuilding like Sanderson. The Dragon PoVs are very well done and the interactions between the separate book's storylines is spectacular. This is Sci-Fan, but an excellent start to a new series. Interesting fantasy elements in a soft-sci-fi setting of far future Earth.

You can always support the 17th Shard/Coppermind/Arcanum by supporting the Patreon to have access to regular Fan Art polls and Commissioned art.

Unless, of course, they exited Shadesmar in the roughs, near the coast, then slowly migrated into the Basin (or, possibly, TLM is only the start of the Migration's arrival). I don't think we have enough information for a definitive answer either way.

Please edit your post to spoiler tag the SA5 spoilers. Keep in mind that Spoiler Policy requires new release material to be posted only in the Spoiler Zone. Spoiler tagging information outside of Spoiler Zone is required when Spoiler information must be used in a non-spoiler forum. Raskek essentially became an Avatar because Preservation created the Well in a specific way to allow a Person to access a significant portion of the Shard's power, but only for a very limited time in order to maintain Ruin's prison. It was not Ruin's investiture that Rashek accesses in the Well (you can see that in WoA Ch 58 when they pass through Ruin's collected Black Mist in the chamber before the Well). Avatars may or may not have Vessels (such as Telsin and Patji) - so by the way that Leras designed the Well to function, Rashek Ascended as an Avatar, used the power, then became a Splinter (a mortal being with permanent Spiritweb changes due to previously acting as a Vessel for Shardic power). As you see with Kelsier, Vin and Sazed, taking up the power comes with some measure of knowledge and understanding (but only if the person knows to ask the questions). WaT Spoilers: Hope that helps

Were you able to find anything in the links above, or do you only want direct recommendations here? By this do you mean Cosmere? Non-Cosmere? Both? Do you have a preference for SciFi, Fantasy, Urban Fantasy and/or Sci-Fan? Any age range or content preferences or limitations? Data would help find appropriate recommendations. . .

I doubt this is correct. Singers are connecting to Rhythms from the Spiritual Realm, which is why they can all be in-sync on the same rhythm regardless of distance. Likewise, Seons get rhythms and communicate through the Spiritual Realm, and Seekers here Rhyhtms of investiture from the SR as well. I think that the vacuum prevented the light from echoing the Rhythm because of Navani's Intent for that separation to happen, and because the vacuum ensured it did not have a medium to express an echoed rhythm. Since you didn't specify, I'm going to guess you mean to be starting with Stormlight? I don't think it could become either Warlight or Voidlight. Unkeyed Dor is still Dor (just Unkeyed so it can fuel non-Sel MoIs). Stormlight, uncoupled from its Rhythm won't stop being Stormlight, and would require a mix to become Warlight (both Rhythms, altered and harmonious) and could not change forms to Voidlight. This seems most likely, at least based on current known information. You are assuming Harmony has a single "pure tone." Harmonium is unstable because Ruin and Preservation are not balanced and stable for Sazed. We see this as far back as Hero of Ages, when Sazed specifically expresses the intent to keep them separate, but working together, rather than having the Intent of combining them into a single force. My guess is that, Realmatically, that's at leat partially because the Tones of Preservation and Ruin haven't shifted to match the way Warlight does (making a harmonius whole, rather than two competing parts). My guess is that Harmonium was able to be separated because the Tones of Ruin and Preservation are still present and separate within Harmonium, all Wax did was find a way to separate the physical component the way it's Spiritual Nature was already divided. Good discussion.
