    I will probably go with Dockson as well. He made Kel's dreams come true and got a Koloss sword to the face for it.

    Odium is stuck on Braize, at least as far as I think we know, because Honor did something to trap him there. A Shard negated a Shard. Certainly, Intents and such can hamper or limit a Shard but even Preservation, who could not kill, would be more than capable of locking away any uppity magic user if he desired.

    @king of nowhere: The first part of my comment, the "Yup: [hyperlink]" was in response to asterion137's comment. I probably should have quoted him to make that explicit. In other words, yes, Sazed dumped all of his metalmind's contents into a large pile of books. The link I provided says that plus it talks about the book Sazed left that postulated about the scientific reasonings behind the Catacendre. I still disagree. They have had over 300 years which is, roughly, anywhere from 10-15 generations of people. While gen 1 and 2 (and maybe 3) had a lot of issues with housing etc., gen 4 - 10/15 had a very easy experience compared to anything pre-mid 20th century on Earth. The Basin being uber fertile, no threat of invasion, having instruction manuals to study from instead of having to derive every new invention from scratch, being free from genetic diseases, an abundance of resources, having Allomantic and (to a degree) Feruchemical assistance for building/learning/etc. Given the ideal conditions (food, resources, safety), the instruction manuals and magic it seems, to me, pretty clear that the Basin could have been a hot spot for technological growth but, instead, it stagnated. Harmony is, imo, absolutely right that the paradise he created caused a stunting of growth - especially when compared to the Southern Scadrians who needed to struggle to survive and, therefore, made big strides despite lacking many of the advantages the Northern Scadrians had.

    Very well done @Erosaito! You sure do have a talent there eh! Have you considered bonding a Cryptic?

    On an absolute scale but relatively, compared to say Jasnah or Navani, they are basically the same age!

    Eshonai's perspective in Words of Radiance seems to make it clear that the Parshendi acted out of desperation - they did not want Gavilar to return their gods. Unless Eshonai was unaware that the other leaders of the Parshendi were being influenced by Darkness in some way then I am hesitant to endorse this idea. Furthermore, Nalan seems like the kind of fellow who deals with things personally. I do not see him somehow hiring or influencing the Parshendi to kill Gavilar. He would probably just do it himself.

    Yup: http://coppermind.net/wiki/Sazed's_note Also, there was a book that... contains a short record of the events that led up to the world dying and being reborn, along with some musings I have made about the history, philosophy, and science of recent occurrences.

    Hoid mentioned one time that Tanavast bought him a drink - unless there is more to this story I have no idea why people make such a big deal out of it. Where does "carousing" come from? The other possibility is that Hoid was referring to Khriss, if she was on Roshar at that time.

    @Nepene Just in case you missed the easter egg: the scientist/inventor that Wayne imitates is based on Thomas Edison and the girl who is upset at him, her father is based on Nikolai Tesla. Brandon was throwing in a bit of American culture there for those who get interested in that rivalry. The more advanced tech was hints but, iirc, there was plenty of direct tech in the Words of Founding. Why do you think it was mainly only religious information? I know that is what Sazed specialized in as a Keeper but there is no reason he would not include the tons of information his other Copperminds stored (every Keeper had access to all the information). I think you might have this backwards. Harmony is, more most intents and purposes, completely omniscient and omnipotent when it comes to Scadrial. I would trust that Harmony knows more about Elendel, and their progress, than any statistician. Arguing that an all-knowing god is wrong about the pace of technological advancement seems a bit... silly, no? Lastly, I will refrain from debating the whole "income inequality" thing because I do not think the Bands of Mourning forums are the appropriate place for it. I would gladly discuss it via PM or in the General Forums if you would like to hash it out. I will simply say that I disagree with many of the modern interpretations of how to "fix" income inequality.

    Yes, Lift is slated to be one of the mains in the back 5.

    I do not think Nightblood makes the Investiture permanently unusable but that is just my personal opinion.

    Isn't that the same thing? Get now (2016) then wait three years = 2019 for book four. Get in a year (2017) then wait two years for SA4 = 2019 for book four. So, I would take Oathbringer tomorrow. Would you rather eat Rock's chull dung feast or be Moash and betray Kaladin?

    Ok, gotcha. So I think we disagree, to an extent, on how much of Kaladin's skill is based on the bond. I put a lesser emphasis whereas you might put a greater emphasis. Thanks for clearing that up for me!
