You never know what you'll find trolling the Arcanum for a WoB or three. . . . . . Remembering how to find it again is the tricky part.

Please use spoiler tags or keep Spoilers in the Spoiler Zone!

Could be a remnant or revivial of the Pre-WoK Fiasco. WoB:

I only took it to mean that they did not know the wife was dead and had been looking for her while Bat’Chor was locked up. Then they found the body and, whatever was done to her was the cause of his reaction (mixed with a healthy dose of racism).

81: 82: Only one confirmed so far: 83: Unlikely: 85. Scadrial is a RAFO - Based on Chronology, Lumar would have to be 5th or 6th Hope that helps

Have you not read Tress of the Emerald Sea? (Ch 14 Spoilers - mild)

Here is the relevant WoB (so far - things can change) Hope that helps.

I would start with the website Contact Page and you can message the Dragonsteel team with your relevant information and background, if you are amenable to an NDA, and any other pertinent information to let them know you are interested in helping - if they still could use some help in your area(s) of expertise. Hope that helps.

Finally working on Night Angel: Nemesis. I look forward to seeing what others think. I'm almost done with "Day Two," and . . . not quite sure how I feel about this new trilogy yet. Something about it bothers me a bit, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is yet.

If possible, I recommend the Omnibus - the addition of the Ars Arcanum makes a significant difference.

For Cosmere: Tress of the Emerald Isle is likely the most age appropriate. In short fiction, Emperor's Soul and Sixth of the Dusk should be fine. Ditto with White Sand Graphic Novel. With themes of childhood abuse and fear of rape, I would not recommend Mistborn for a pre-teen. In fact would probably recommend swapping in other authors and stories so you can take your time with Sanderson content. Consider Marvel Prose Stories (novelization of comics, like Weapon X, Dark Phoenix, Days of Future Past, Venom Factor), Classics (Watership Down, Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, Narnia, Asimov, Jack London), Diane Duane (Young Wizards Series), Westing Game, Rick Riordan, Ursula K. LeGuin (Earthsea), Shawn Speakman (Annwn, Antiquity Grey), EnderVerse, E. E. Knight (Age of Fire - First trilogy), etc. Please see the Reading Recommendations thread (link in my signature) for more ideas.

Here. Here. This was the intro to my "full book reaction" for SP2:

M: SH Descriptions - I'll update with the rest, as I find them

Don't forget non-Cosmere Frugal Wizard, etc. It's a worry I share - I'm 50.

Sorry for the double post. I struggled with if I should reply here (as a double post) or in the Unpopular Opinions thread - and I chose this because I do not know if it will be an unpopular opinion or not, and I figured any discussion on the website should probably stay in a thread about the website. That said, it's been a few months since the change, and I just want to say how much I really dislike the new website. I feel like it really needs to use Adaptive Design (like this site) and not force PC to use a mobile site format. The "blog" section now includes a ton of things that were not blog entries, and tries to force them into the Blog page template (and does so poorly). Finding content is near impossible without saved links because the search only returns massive "faux-blog" squares of results (and only 6 per page) reserving a huge amount of screen space to pictures that don't exist per-post (all just using a default, useless, image) and the result can neither be filtered nor organized (some "blogs" imply they use tags, but we can't use those to search or filter why?). Also many links are unintuituve - such as going to Books > Stand Alone > Warbreaker (but no link to jusp to that section) > Annotations does not take you to the First annotation post - it takes you to a Blog Search for annotations, that has the last annotation post - which means you either need to go to page 44 of the results to find the first one, or open the last annotation and use the list of annotation there to find the first annotation. It also removed the Chapter - Annotation links that allowed somebody to, for example read: Prologue > Prologue annotation > Ch 1 > Ch 1 Annotation > etc. Okay, sure, the website looks "modern" (which I disagree is a good thing) - but form over function is never a good tradeoff, and I feel this site loses far more than it gained by the "update." Sorry </rant>

Agree on all points. I do kinda like Tzai Blows here, in that it feels like a very "nearly anybody can learn this if they spend the time and effort" magic, which I wish Sanderson had more of in the Cosmere. Sure, it still has some "issues" but it still makes me hope they come back on Canon Dragonsteel in a few decades when we get that far.

Being base-10, the Rosharan (or at least Vorin) system is very similar to Metric - but Brandon does not use the word Meter because, IRL historically, national measuring systems were usually based on the human body; so "foot," as a term, is more likely to be similar to the word used by these cultures.

A ship is a type of boat - a relationship is a Bond between two or more people. With a title announcing both ships and boats, why would I consider a faux definition? Sorry.

It was implied that he learned much of this from Restares while in the Sons of Honor - before splitting off to form the Diagram. WoB

No worries. I may have read too many WoBs, but most of it is practice and search technique (See Sharder FAQ link in my signature where we discuss some techniques). It is sometimes frustrating to recall the correct synonym or homonym to search up a specific WoB you remember (but not the exact wording).

Whatever they came with, or buy from their (meager) pay. The Bridge Crews only supply vests and sandles (sometimes). However, based on this picture, it seems some sort of simple half-length breaches were common.

Copy - I thought the Stygian effect was for the Anti-Lights (warping). Remembered wrong. Thank you

Here is the most recent WoB: Basically he realized he'll need something SA related to write between SA5 and 6

Welcome to the Shard. Please consider an Intro Post to let us know what you have or have-not read, so we can avoid spoilers if necessary. Also, please consider checking out the Sharder FAQ for some useful tips and tricks - as each forum is slightly different. Also, I have reported your post for you, since this is the wrong Forum. All book discussion belongs in the appropriate section (Blue Header Bars on the main forum page): "Cosmere" for those works, "Non-Cosmere" for everything else, "Spoiler Zone" for Preview material and new releases in their Spoiler Period, and "Related works" for Unpublished material and non-books (blogs, podcast, youtube released, etc.). Each forum also has a synopsis on the main page to help determine where you should be mosting a given topic. For example, you posted in: When you should have posted here: Please see some or all of these threads: Moash Redemption Arc?????? Moash and Kaladin Szeth & Moash The Great Moash Controversy If Moash dies in SA5... Moash's Point of No Return Hope that helps

Short answer is that we don't know for sure. Implication is that he was (at least partially) manifesting Connection to Odium (since Gold is Odium's true color - Red is corrupted investiture and "purple-ish" is Honor's blue tinted with red taint). The only WoB I could find on the topic is: Hope that helps
