RoW chapter 114: Tefts funeral, the sibling said there was a locked room, where ancient Radiants forever stood as stone sentries. My ebook won't let me copy it, but the proof is there. I stand corrected - did not recall that reference (only the debates back when those WoBs were new). RoW Ch 114:

Based upon OB Ch 29 / Ch 105 (which are based on earlier worldbuilding - just addressed directly here): Those references are combined with these WoBs: To create the fan-theory that because Soulcasting Lighteyes into Statues after death is a Vorin tradition, then somewhere in or near Urithiru there will be a Mausoleum of Ancient Radiant Statues that can be Awakened. No such mausoleum has been confirmed or denied. Neither has it been confirmed or denied that pre-Recreance Radiants followed this Vorin tradition. Sibling Confirmed both - RoW Ch 114 (see below).

I apologize if this is harsh; but please, for Ado's sake, use capitalization. Yes. Please see WoBs Below. You can expect that a malaproprism is retained by the translator to convey the same idiosyncracy as expressed by the characters (so that, for example, it's understandable that Kaladin would be confused by the word bunny) There are many derived/constructed phrases (such as Lait) and Brandon tries to make derivitive meanings obvious, when possible (such as the one you pointed out). Please see: Stormlight Archive Glossary and/or @King of Herdaz's Curses and Phrases Page Searching SA and ME2, I found no instances of "deevy" in Mistborn (but Wayne does try Chouta), and SA shows Lift, Lopen, and Nightblood as using the term so far. WoBs: Hope that helps

Welcome to the Shard. Please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful info. Also, please consider editing your first post in this thread to let us know if there is anything you have not yet read (or to say you have read everything), so that we can avoid spoilers, if necessary when/if you have questions or discuss theory. You may be interested in this thread, about options for White Sand.

Brandon rarely does something for only one reason - so I think it is all three. He wanted us to see the icon, Kaladin becoming a Herald was the Majestic Improvisation that Wit did not know about, and this header also covers the Postlude which shows Kaladin.

Technically, twice infinite power is still just infinite. As Harmony shows, two shards might make a Vessel technically stonger, but really it also makes them twice as restricted as every action has to comply with two, separate intents. Also, it was not that Odium, alone, wasn't enough of a threat to oppose - it was that Odium, captured and bound by Honor, wasn't "worth" opposing because he was "contained" (he is no longer contained).

Yes, it's Herald Kaladin with Bridge Four tattoo (as mentioned by @AlmightyGir)

If you are referencing Dalinar's decision specifically, then I would just like to point out (Day 10 Spoilers): TL;DR - my impression wasn't Dalinar ignores responsibity, so much as Dalinar made the people with the responsibility finally step-up.

AFAIK, Pineapples started because of this "debate." With two effects - the spinoff for Pizza, and using pineapples as a reference to debates entirely about taste (meaning there is no "correct" answer - just a "correct-for-me" answer - which does nothing to quell the debates). Reading is also discussed in this thread - but that is more about reviewing what you are currently reading, possibly asking questions - but does not imply that you recommend the books/stories for others. If you were unaware, you can search a single thread. So, for example, you can go into the "What are you reading" thread and use the search bar at the top to, for example, search "Lightbringer" to see what others have posted to that thread about the series to help you decide if you are considering trying it out.

Yes. The thumping is indicative of anything around the Chasmfiend size range, but I missed/forgot the "size of a city" reference that firmly put it in the Tai-Na category. From the WoBs quoted above:

Reading Recommendations from and for the Shard are collected here. Sorted (roughly) by Genre with MG/YA split off. So, not new releases this year? Just things we read this year?

Unlikely, since we see (part of) the Herdazian Greatshells in Oathbringer Interlude 10: The Yu-Nerig Greatshells are Marine Greatshells related-to, but smaller-than a Chasmfiend.

Though they were near enough, long enough for Nazh to swipe a Map of Shinovar's Monastaries and annotate it (end of Day 3).

Pretty sure that is not why the Ghostbloods captured and held Vasher Prisoner.

He answered this in-text. Just as he changed/stole Wit's memories at the end of RoW - he requires a Connection to directly affect Mortals on Roshar still protected by his Oaths with Honor and Cultivation. WaT Interlude 12: He has a valid Connection to Kharbranth and its inhabitants that allow him to intervene directly there. Hope that helps.

Feel free to post on whatever frequency you feel you have something to say.

Yes. It was name dropped in reference to the Surge of Division. WaT Ch 104: But was not part of Jericks tale as shared by Wit. WoBs:

We do not yet know the nature of their relationship, Spoilers (Tress, Mistborn Era 2, WaT): Hope that helps

FYSA, she believes she is 10 years old. WoR I-9:

There are many WoBs on the book that may be titled Silence Divine, but this is probably the WoB you mean: Please see the Sharder FAQ for tips on searching Words of Brandon, and other useful forum information. Hope that helps

This was shown in-story. Ch 146: Hope that helps

That is just one of very many unanswered questions, which harkens back to my point in this post - we only know that Fabrial Nicrosil (in a Medallion - and requires an Excisor - whatever that is) stores a Manifestation of Investiture. We do not know that a Soulbearer using Nicrosil does the same thing, or any of the mechanics. It is all fan-theory until Era 3, when we expect to get answers (hopefully).

But was that their speculation, or did they have a source?

I don't disagree - I'm only saying that in the 80 years of Cosmere Standard mentioned by Thaidakar, which will be about 10 years for Roshar, I expect Taravangian will only allow 1 year (or less) to pass for Kharbranth.

I took that as Sigzil did not return to Roshar after encountering the Night Brigade, which was after giving up the Dawnshard. And we have no idea how long that would be after these events.
