Well, there is one Shard that just wants to survive and be left alone...

I thought pretty much the same as @VinKohlin, although I'm guessing rather than mixing of Lighteyes and Darkeyes genes forming different colours, it's the order from which the blade has come that sets your eye colour - for example, if you grabbed a Windrunner Blade, you'd have blue eyes and your descendants would also, and if you grabbed a Truthwatcher Blade, you'd have green eyes, and so would your descendants. As for what @Elenion says, this sounds good, but we have to remember that there's also sDNA and Roshar's weird genetics to be considered - just the fact that you can have black-and-blond hair if your father is black-haired and your mother blond-haired proves that Rosharan humans don't really match up with Earth humans. Shardblade influences the eye colour, so sDNA plays some part in it, thus the light eyes may be dominant to dark eyes on Roshar - or it could be a toss of the dice. It could also be that all Rosharans have dark eyes per DNA, but lighteyes have lighter eye colour encoded in their sDNA, which would further complicate things.

Thank you, @Yata! I'm still not sure if I'll be able to attend, but nevertheless thanks for finding this for me.

I'd say b&w version of Adolin/Jamakav is better; seems to fit the mood of the scene better, the colourful one is too... cheerful. Also, Adolin's facebook page cracked me up.

Wow, SA animated series sounds awesome. If you'd like someone to help with script-writing and voice acting, count me in.

I wonder if Brandon wasn't talking about Heralds in the "arcs" of chapter headings. Going by what people's been noticing during the Tor reread, they seem pretty significant to the contents of the chapter.

I live in Poland, but I wonder if I wouldn't manage to come to Lucca for this. I couldn't navigate the festival site, so I'd ask someone with knowledge of Italian - is Lucca a type of festival where you have to pay to attend? (also, if so - what are the fees?)

Hurt Odium, heal TLR. 1. Hrathen- 8 2. The Lord Ruler- 14 5. Ruin- 14 9. Bleeder- 12 12. Odium- 6 15. Taravangian- 18 19. Mraize- 17 20. Tyn- 11

@Wetlander - I know! At the time, I was pretty much grasping at straws. (also, holy thread necro!)

The shape of the spiritweb, I'd assume. Spiritweb is the lock, metal is the key, Breath is a skeleton key.

Heal TLR, hurt Amaram. Let's build this tank. 1. Hrathen- 7 2. The Lord Ruler- 15 4. Marsh- 5 5. Ruin- 6 7. Miles- 8 9. Bleeder- 9 10. Denth- 11 12. Odium- 6 14. Amaram- 2 15. Taravingian- 10 18. Szeth- 7 19. Mraize- 6 20. Tyn- 8

When you're looking through Malta travel guide and start to wonder if Brandon didn't take at least some inspiration from Maltese when creating parts of Roshar. I mean, "Marsaxlokk" sounds like it could share border with Tashikk or Sesemalex Dar.

Marsh is cool, don't kill Marsh. Kill Trell, heal Marsh. 1. Hrathen- 7 2. The Lord Ruler- 13 4. Marsh- 6 5. Ruin- 6 6. Trell- 0 7. Miles- 8 9. Bleeder- 9 10. Denth- 11 12. Odium- 7 14. Amaram- 3 15. Taravingian- 10 18. Szeth- 8 19. Mraize- 6 20. Tyn- 7

This sounds awesome... but also makes me worried that Brandon will not go this way because of how hilariously overpowered this would be, especially in comparison to other systems (I know Brandon cares not for balance, but still... the Space trilogy could be over pretty fast if it's Scadrial vs. the World type of deal). If people in "80s trilogy" will be wearing gold medallions, it'll still take a lot of threat - and thus tension - away, which is, again, why I'm worried that our esteemed author won't go in this direction, even though it's pretty cool. Then again, it is Brandon Sanderson, so here's hoping we'll get some delightfully broken Scadrians in the future.

A bit off-topic (not much I can bring to this conversation, though it's interesting): Jezrien was a king before the whole Herald gig, which would probably predispose him to lead and rule better than the other nine, what with lifelong training and actual practice. We've got to remember that Heralds are more than just their powers and attributes.

Heal TLR, hurt Suit. 1. Hrathen- 7 2. The Lord Ruler- 12 4. Marsh- 4 5. Ruin- 6 6. Trell- 4 7. Miles- 7 9. Bleeder- 8 10. Denth -10 12. Odium- 7 14. Amaram- 4 15. Taravangian- 8 17. Suit- 1 18. Szeth- 9 19. Mraize- 6 20. Tyn- 7

@Argel, even the topic states very clearly that it's Threnody and Sel, not Scadrial. Scadrial and Threnody being in the same system - or at least nearby - are still possible, though personally I think that considering the impact Sazed had on Scadrian solar system, what with moving the whole planet around etc., he should probably notice that there's one more world with people revolving around "his" star. This being said, I think Ati was speaking metaphorically, a la what Pathfinder noted.
